Just to make sure...

Just to make sure that my mobo is dead, and not anything else that is making my computer not start up, I wanted to see if my mobo has all the signs of "deadness". Just tell me what you guys think.

1) Pulled out all card except videocard and booted up - no beeps
2) Reseated RAM and booted - no beeps
3) Reseated CPU and booted - no beeps
4) Switched videocard and booted - no beeps
5) Tried CPU in another computer - test computer booted fine
6) Flashed motherboard by pulling out the jumper, then putting it back - no beeps
7) Cleared CMOS by pulling out lithium battery for few seconds - no beeps
8) Booted the computer with no cards in whatsoever - no beeps
9) Booted computer without RAM chips - no beeps

I have come to the conclusion that my motherboard is dead, but maybe one of you guys knows something that I haven't done that could fix this. I've read the KT7 faq and I know the codes for beeps. Please, provide your input, any would be appreciated. Thanks

btw, I have one more thing to try... which is to take another CPU and put it in my comp. If it still doesn't work, then well, dead mobo. 🙁

To really clear the CMOS, you sometimes need to remove the battery for up to 10 minutes. Also, pull the whole board out of the case, and boot up the computer with only the board, CPU, RAM, video, and a different AMD-aproved power supply (use a screwdriver to short the two power pins in lieu of a power switch). This will eliminate the possibility of a shorting backplate or bad power supply.

But it sounds dead 😉
