Hi,
I have a pc here which doesn't boot anymore (just a black screen - nothing else).
Am i right to think this signifies a dead mobo (otherwise i would get beeps signalling a dead processor)?
Only marks on the mobo are:
in between pcislots : sy-6ba+ III
chipset near processor says soyo
so did the other (was a sticker - nothing underneath when i pulled it off)
some chips marked ite...
It is a pentium 3 mobo.
thx
dead mobo or cpu?
Soyo SY-6BA+ III

Power Supply OK?

think so, yes - there's a led on the mobo that comes on and when i boot up the cpu fan starts spinning
(only way to power down is to keep the button pressed for +- 5 sec)
i'm gonna try another power supply anyways later

if all else fails, try brute force
same with other psu
just got some hope to find out if it's the processor or the mobo without a processor swap because ami actually has a beep code for 'bad processor'
however, if the cpu is dead i don't think the mobo will produce any beeps anymore
oh, i also checked the caps and 2 are bulging - i will not start soldering though unless i know at least the processor works
and there is still only one way to find out, i guess - try another cpu/mobo

Have you tried the following?
- disconnecting everything (disks, add-in cards, including video)
- taking the board from the case to eliminate a screw jammed under the mobo, shorting to chassis
- removing memory to force a "no memory" beep
