Hey y'all
I just bought some upgrade components for a Frankenstein-PC I was building for a friend, I bought a Ryzen 5 2600/Asus ROG Strix B450-F/Trident Z RBG 2x8GB DDR4-3000 combo bundle off of NewEgg, I'd noticed upon unboxing that the Motherboard was already unpackaged, the board was unwrapped. I threw in the components anyways because I'd wanted to see if it would run anyways.
Unsurprisingly it doesn't boot into BIOS. Everything powers on, the liquid-cooling, RAM, GPU, and case fans all light up. I'd previously had an Asus Sabertooth 990fx 2.0/FX-8320 that ran fine, installed Win10 prior to new board for compatibility. There's an orange/yellow light lit up indicating RAM error, tried swapping various placements of RAM and using one stick, and removing RAM all-together to see if it would at least beep indicating no memory was present. No beeps, no sound, just continuous power with no display through DVI, DisplayPort, or HDMI. Tried running display through the board itself, still nothing.
I left it on for up to a half hour since I'd read AMD first-boots can take a while so I took a smoke break and came back to nothing, tried resetting CMOS, nothing. Before anyone posts I have to make it clear that yes, I have backpins for the motherboard, yes I have the CPU power and main power connector plugged into the board, yes I have tried swapping memory slots & amount of memory. This motherboard was sent to me already opened which leads me to believe someone returned a dead/damaged board and it got re-sent to me by NewEgg.
I've got a RMA ticket in for the product so I'm just going to replace the board and see if that fixes it, if not then I would assume it's a CPU issue (RAM is QVL compatible), just thought I would post and see if there was any avenue I missed before finalizing the decision to remove the board from the case and pack it up.
Current specs (no BIOS display/boot):
TL;DR: Everything powers up and stays on, orange/yellow DRAM light on mobo, no beeping from motherboard w/o RAM, everything plugged in (pentuple-checked), no display recognized through graphics card or motherboard.
