I've done a paperclip test, PSU fan starts up, but doesn't when plugged into the mobo.
I have now done an out of case test, with CPU, RAM, mobo, PSU, and no luck.
I guess that means mobo or CPU is the issue. I would think if it were RAM the symptoms would be different.
I took the CPU out yet again, all the pins look fine. They didn't get munched being inserted the last time, so it seems they straightened OK. But at this point it has to be CPU or mobo, surely.
Agreed. And I'd say the mobo is more likely, as it has more different components like capacitors and whatnot. So just by volume.
As a final test you could rip out RAM, GPU etc disconnect all unnecessary cables and run just mobo + CPU + PSU. See if it beeps/lights up or changes anything. That'll rule out a short in some other component being the issue.
I mean we're not 100% sure, but looks like you're in for a new mobo (+CPU).
I already removed all cables and extras when I did the out of case test, didn't think to try without the RAM. I will give that a go tomorrow, I've had enough for tonight,
It looks like I can still get a mobo that supports the socket, so in theory I should be able to just swap the mobo. But then if it doesn't work I'll have to get a new CPU next and then I'll wish I didn't get the mobo because I'll probably get a more recent CPU. Hard choices!
For the moment, I have requisitioned a laptop and booted from the server hard drive, and things are back up and running. So I don't have to rush, I'll try some more tomorrow, have a think about what I'd like. Maybe I'll just get something new, and auction off the mobo, CPU, RAM online $1 reserve and someone else can work out what does or doesn't work . π
It does seem like that.
(Be sure to thank the kit for its years of service)
And if you triggered any failsafes they would have reset by now.
The mobo button battery can rarely make seem the mobo dead, but usually still does at least something.
(I'm not saying it's likely, just that it's the last thing I can think of)
It wasn't that many years, I checked and I got the whole setup in 2019. A little over 5 years. It hasn't been running as a server for that long, perhaps only 6 months. Seems like a premature failure. I probably messed it up by doing something wrong when cleaning. Static maybe? There isn't anything obvious on the board that l can see, no burn marks, no ozone smell. I guess I'll look at ordering a new mobo and then new CPU if the mobo doesn't work. Annoying though, because if I have to get a new CPU I probably want an upgrade, but if it's just the mobo probably not.
Thanks for the help π
