Hi, I need your help please
this is the problem when I turn on the power ,the PS and cpu fan start. Also the hard drive and cd rom light blink. I can hear the hard drive starting. I don't see the lights on the keyboard and floppy come on. it seems like the bios isnt even initializing the floppy drive. The moitor powers up but that is about it. I dont get any bios screen or text. No beeps either.
this is what i've done but the problem remains intact
I removed the mainboard from its case and disconnect all but floppy, CPU, and memory, (the VGA is integrated), then I swapped the cmos battery with a new one and clear the cmos with the jumper, insert another memory module, Changed the ATX PS by another totally good, turn on the power again but nothing helped.
possible cause/mistake
Before the problem appeared, I remember that I took out the ram memory and put it back again (just to see what brand it was), when the power cord was still plugged, altough the PC was shut down, i think that maybe the mainboard died when I did that, cause AFAIK ATX keeps supplying the PC even if this one is shut down, Right?
---> the mainboard is a PCCHIPS 741lmrt with celeron 466Mhz, 64MB PC100, and all peripherals integrated.
Thanks In Advance.
