I got a 6500 board on eBay. It arrived this weekend, wrapped in bubble wrap, not in anti static bag. Ugh.
At first when I tried putting it into my performa 6300cd, it wouldn't respond to the power button at all. I found out this was because some of the pins were bent. I fixed this using a tiny bit of superglue, then I put it back in. This time it turned on, the speakers coughed, but there was no chime and nothing came on the screen. I checked if the ram was seated properly, it seems to be. Th seller apparently put some "warranty void if removed" tape across the rom and the ram for some reason.
I wondered if anyone had an immediate idea of what could be wrong here. Otherwise I am probably going to see about getting a refund.
