I think my motherboard is dead and want to rma it but the place I got it from mentioned something I cant check, the cpu, since I don't have a spare.

Somebody on their message board told me no matter what you should get led's or beeps, which I don't.


But the place im returning it to says it wont do anything at bootup without a good cpu and I want to know if this is fact or not?

I have a K7T266 Pro2 (VIA KT266A chipset) if that's any help - If you don't have a processor installed at all, you won't get anything. If you do have a processor installed and are still not getting anything - not even LEDs - then I'd guess your motherboard is indeed dead, or the power's not working etc..

Best way I'd suggest is to borrow a known working processor and try that in there. I keep a spare Duron 600 for that very purpose (it's too slow now and worthless if I sell it but great for checking stuff like this).

Good Luck

I have a MSI K7T Pro2-A.

Can you take the motherboard to the place of purchace and have them check it for you?
I'm pretty sure that there should be a series of beeps if the processor isn't installed or fried.
