Important Note: I am testing this board while both the PS and board are just sitting on a table. Nothing is in a case.
I just got back to working on an ASUS P2B-F motherboard which was given to me years ago and was working when I opened this thread...

But apparently was no longer working when I wrote post #11 in this thread:

It's been a while but I want to make a final determination on why this board no longer works. It is possible something happened when I hooked it to the power supply as outlined in the second thread, although other boards booted off that same PS.
In any case, I took the board out for testing again yesterday. With only the Celeron 400MHz CPU installed, one memory module and a video card. Turning on the power (via jumping the power switch pins) results in nothing. Most times the PS does not turn on at all. I have seen a brief flash of the keyboard lights on occasion. I have also had the PS and CPU fan start for about a second if I unplug and then reattach the PS cables to the motherboard (while the power switch is not jumpered).
I am going to buy a new PS in a few days, and swap processors and retest. But if it's not the PS or CPU, what would be the areas I should check? None of the capacitors look blown.
Thanks...Joe
