Ok I got a different MOB question now...
Ok I got an old IBM IntelliStation M Pro box that was listed as broken from work...
Looking further into it I have narrowed it to the MOB I think...
I tested the PSU with a real tester and it was fine, the box will not turn on... Nothing, null, notta... I know that the RAM is good cause I was told to take it out and put in other boxes at work that could use the extra memory... Takes RDRAM...
It's kind of a weird set up as there are no usual header pins for the pwr switch and HD led and stuff... It all works off of a little plugin that goes to another circuit board that has the pwr switch on it... So here's the deal...
It's a Dual P3 slot1 board...
The potential is great considering that the Dual P3's were pretty good crunchers... So my qusetion is I want to be sure that the board is dead first of all and secondly can it be fixed for a reasonable cost?
I know that there are folks that do MOB repairs but what do you think would it be worth it?
All I have is the CPU and the MOB. I am wondering if I need more in the board to get it to post?
I figured that with out a video card and memory it should still try and post but give me a ton of unhappy beeps but I don't know, is it possible that this older board had some kind of protection built in that won't allow it to post if its not filled out?
