Thanx for the extra info ..and thanx for not giving up guys.
I'm a good Television repair Tech ...but often out of my depth with unusual PC faults.
When I had the motherboard out the other day I noticed other thin green bodge wires on the underside.
Tomorrow I will photograph these as well..and add those photos to the thread.
Obviously 'they' made some motherboard mods for reasons known only to themselves...and certainly non standard.

Some photos and edited with description text of the green bodge wires topside (keyboard controller related and currently open)....and bottomside ...Bios chip related (currently set in WT PROT mode)
Hope you can read the text ok.

its a general input, slap a jumper on that glued header with green wires
