    I moved a Mother board from one tower chassis to another. Everything was working when i pulled it from the chassis. When I installed everything into another chassis, the board won't boot up, it doesn't even beep, I've tried different power supplies, different memory, different vid cards. I've checked and verified all jumper settings on the board, pulled the cmos battery for about 15 minutes. Nothing seems to make a difference, the power supply comes on, and i have power to the fan pins on the mother board, and the cpu chip gets hot, but nothing else happens.

    The board is an Elitegroup P5SD-B v1.1 running a 6x86 cyrx 266.

    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Remove the MB from the case and set it up on a pizza box or phone book - hook it up and try it. If it boots, you have created a short circuit in the case. If it won't boot, maybe it's already toasted??

    Good Luck

    Update: I pulled the mother board out of the chassis, tried to get it to boot up out of the box, no luck, still couldn't get it to post.

    Checked the board both sides under a lighted magnifing glass, no solder breaks, no black marks, all jumpers, pins, power settings correct, new cmos battery. Still not able to get it to post.

    Any other ideas ?

    Yeah!

    Put it back in original case to see if it still works as before! If not the short in the other case likely cooked it!

    The old case is not available, I used it to build my mothers computer, I'm trying to get my old components to work in another chassis.
