Dead Supermicro C2SBA
I bought this board on craigslist for $35 and cannot for the life of me get it to post.
All I can imagine is someone bricked the BIOS. Any ideas? I'm using good RAM, and my previous quad-core which I also know works.

Re: Dead Supermicro C2SBA
If LGA 775, good chance of a bad socket pin.

Re: Dead Supermicro C2SBA
I will look into that. I have another board which acts strangely, and I believe it's due to a damaged pin it has. Ill check the Supermicro board out. Maybe that's why he said, "I installed the CPU for you because its easier to transport. (I had also purchased a Q9450 from him, but swapped it into my system and put a Q8400? back in this Supermicro board.

If doesn't POST, have you tried JBT1 = CMOS Clear ? And does its CMOS battery have ~3V ? Quote:
http://badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=36190 ... is anything to go by IMO there is a reason why SuperMicro make you accept a disclaimer to download a BIOS update And FLASH.BAT for C2SBA looks even more amateurish than AMI.BAT that caused my grief 2sbaC198.ROM doesn't look like a ROM image (not multiple of 16) so I reckon you'll have to hope for the best from SuperMicro's BIOS recovery procedure

Re: Dead Supermicro C2SBA
If the BIOS is bad, contact SM, for a small fee ($18 + shipping in my experience) they'll ship you a factory flashed replacement chip if it's socketed (being SM it almost certainly is).
I then suggest hotflashing back the bad chip so you potentially get a 2nd good chip as a spare.
