I have an FIC AU31 i'm hoping to resurect to be a win98SE retro pc. has a athlon xp 3200+ cpu.
it had bad capacitors on it causing reboots (or so i thought), replaced the capacitors 4 of them had opened up. we didn't do a very clean job. but it worked and the system seemed stable. during this testing though i had a pci card that was up slightly and without thinking i pushed it down and
the system hung. i tried rebooting and wouldn't get any post beeps after that. ive since upgraded my solidering/desolidering station and cleanly mounted the capacitors nicely hoping that it was just one of the caps got loose.
still no luck so i've started trying to diagnose it deeper
removed ram and cpu and power on the board it turns on and fans spin but zero post beeps. i can push and hold the power button and it will still respond and shut off that way so i don't think its totally dead yet.

on the socket A cpu i looked up pins wanting to see if the cpu was getting power since it didn't seem warm ever after trying to post.
took a reading from B2 (vss) got like .01v and then D2 (vcc) but got 0v.
any thoughts on where to look next?
