Well a few weeks ago I bought this board off ebay, seller said it tested fine but when I got it found that it was loaded with puffy caps. I installed new ones without trying the board out so I don't know how it was beforehand.
Afterwards just bench testing it, The fans would start but never had video or any beeps. I put the board away thinking it was trash. Fast forward to last night, I decided to put the board in the case and give it a shot. Still nothing at first but hit the Reset button a few times and what do you know, I got a long beep and 2 short ones. So that told me the the videocard was bad (ATI Rage POS card). Installed my Voodoo 5 5500AGP and tried to bootup. At first nothing but fans running on CPU/vid card. Reset hit 2 times and it started up with video!
I did default all bios settings then overchecked everything but anytime I shutdown and startup the system won't post. Only after a reset has been tried it will post.
So my question is has anyone else had this happen? the board does have the newest firmware in it appears (02/07/2002)
As of now that makes 2/2 working Pro133T and 2/2 Pro133A boards fixed 😀 , and 0/2 working i815EP B-step boards 🙁
