Hello,
Recently got this:
9 of 11 main capacitors were bloated, so I replaced all of them with Panasonic FR.
There are no means to identify the board, so I hoped the BIOS string would provide some answers. Sadly, the board gets stuck during POST at C3 0C.
Tried with 2 CPUs (Pentium 120 and K6-2/333), two known good PSUs (both ATX), various sticks of SDRAM and EDO, with and without a PCI or AGP video card. When starting without any RAM it stays at C1 00 which is standard behaviour, but at some time it stopped beeping when powered like this, and now it's completely silent.
The board looks great, without a single scratch, and apart from some dead chip (maybe from powering up or using it with the destroyed caps, by the previous owner), it might be a matter of corrupted BIOS image, but without knowing the model I don't know where to look for a BIOS file.
Lastly, this might provide a clue: the jumper for selecting Flash chip voltage is labeled 'JVROM1', and from what I found on the net this name was used by DTK and Gemlight (but the boards that I found are completely different, ATX form factor...)
