Hello,
i recently purchased a dead Intel Batman (P5) board.
It shows some activity on the ISA-Bus and the L2-Cache, but no boot and no postcode is displayed.
I already did the following:
- resoldered all chipset chips as some pins seemed suspicious.
- removed the BIOS, put a socket and reflashed one from retroweb
- checked for defect traces
- checked postcard in both isa and pci bus
I see some activity on the ISA-bus for maybe 250mS after reset.
Afterwards, it stops.
CPU is getting warm.
I trief 3 different CPUs - would be strange if all 3 are dead and lead to the same behavior.
What to try next?
Equipment and knowhow is here, but i'm hitting a wall right now and am out of ideas ...
Thanks in advance!
