I aquired, what appear to be, a PCPartner MVP3BS7-954 motherboard with a lot of damaged or missing components.

Here is a list of missing ones:
Transistors: Q1, Q3, Q5
Capacitors: C66, C67, C69, C207, C224, C225
Inductors: L8, L9, L24
Resistors: R4, R8, R17, R23, R197, R198, R203
Resistor network: RN5

I suppose electrolytic capacitors should be around 1000uF, but the MLCCs are unknown value
I could recreate inductors because i have other faulty boards and ferrite cores.
Resistors are unknown
Resistor network is probably a 4.7K
Transistors are unknown
U25 & u26 and adjacent components appear to never been populated.
I do have a spare socket7 socket.

Could someone give some hints for this missing components?
Thanks

I tried to fix it but I failed miserably.
What i put:
Q1 - PNP transistor
Q3, Q5 -NPN transistors
R4, R5, R17, R23, R197, R198, R203 - 22 ohm resistors
RN5 - 4k7 resistor network
C66, C67, C69 - 100nF MLLCs
C193 - 10uF/10v
C176, C179, C180, C181, C182 - 1200uF/6.3v
C223, C224, C225 - 1000uF/6.3v
C118, C333 - 100uF/10v
L8, L9, L24 - inductors with the appoximative size and number of spires as in theretroweb page
added a Socket7 socket

The CPU power voltages are spot on.
The CPU resets ok but BIOS is never read.
CPU measurements on power on:
EADS# - high
ADS# - high
HOLD - low
BOFF# - high
AHOLD - 1 high pulse
FLUSH# - high
BUSCHK# - high
IGNNE# - high
STPCLK# - low
INIT - high
KEN# - high

Did you also fix the cache chip in the socket footprint? It seems to have been knocked to the right.

Yes, I desoldered the chip and fixed 3 pads which where lifted from board and also i straigneded skewed pins.
Soldered back the cache chip with 1 remaining pin unconnected because the pad was missing... the pin is number 127 wich on docs in marked as NC.

Also changed the 32k7 clock oscillator as it was non functioning.
