Howdy, everyone!
I just got ahold of a Q950 with a dusty, but other wise good looking, logic board that will not boot. The PSU appears to be putting out the correct voltages when powered on, so I think I can rule that out. Any display I hook up to it registers that a signal is being sent, but there's just no video. The speaker clicks loudly on power-up, but no chimes are produced. I've removed all the RAM and tried it with just what's onboard, but still no change in behavior. These beasts are entirely new to me, so I'm a bit lost where to go next; any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Also, there appear to be four DIMMs that I am assuming are the ROMs. They have no identification, so I have no idea if they are even in the correct slots. Is there a way to determine if they are? Alternatively, are they even ROMs?
Thanks much,
Will
