I picked up an ASUS CUSL2-C at a local shop the other day. It was a bargain bin find, but the board is in perfect physical shape, so I figured it was worth a shot.
I didn't have any non-Tualatin Socket 370 CPUs on hand, so I bought a Pentium III 1000EB in order to test the board. The CPU was also untested, but looks fine.
Hooked everything up today, and... the power LED comes on, the CPU fan spins, but no beeps, and no POST. Tried two different known good RAM modules, tried two different video cards (one PCI, one AGP), tried removing the BIOS battery... no luck. Power supply is also known good.
I'm not sure whether to suspect the motherboard or the CPU at this point. I'm tempted to order another PIII 1000EB (they're dirt cheap) before giving up on the CUSL2-C. Thoughts?
