Hello, my GA-T671MG revision 1.1 at powering on actually doesn't show any image on the monitor. I got some questions for you:

Why is this happening?

Actually I'm not putting this in my solved thread 'Motherboard dead?' because now I don't really think of it to be dead.

NOTE: I'm putting this thread to the chipsets/bios as I think to be an issue of one of them, even if I'm not sure.

(I just edited this message because there was writing 'I really think of it to be dead)
 
Do you mean BIOS configuration? Actually my BIOS configuration is clear, as I cleared it yesterday. (Note that this computer has never been working properly, as before clearing the CMOS, actually my computer wasn't booting at all) Oh, that you meant specs? Here they are:

Pentium D 925 @ 3.00 Ghz
GA-T671MG
aqprox 500W PSU
Deepcool CK-77502
Maxtor 80 GB HDD SATA
MODISC LG dvd-rom drive SATA
and a case fan, unknown model/manufacturer

Thanks!

EDIT: Putting all the cables (USB, F_AUDIO) doesn't make any difference. Help me!
 
Do you get a POST beep? Are you able to get into BIOS at all (with a visible screen)? Do you get any activity from the monitor that indicates it is attempting to work. I'm inclined (although I don't know for sure) to believe that the issue may be your cable or monitor itself. It shouldn't hurt to go back over all your cable connections to ensure they are all snugly attached (external and internal) and if possible, try a different cable to your monitor.
The motherboard may just be faulty but I'm looking to ensure there are no other issues that may be disguising themselves.
 
No POST beep, nothing on screen, no activity at monitor, the cables are fine, just checked them with another PC, I tried it with 2 different monitors, and all cable connections are fine. What I did else is to take out the CMOS battery for a minute but no luck. I also changed the RAM slot with no luck. And now what? I'm very disappointed, and I can't return the components back to the store, so I think I just lost my money 🙁
 
Although 'new' does not always equate to "good" in the realm of PSU's, having tried two different ones pretty much can (should) eliminate the PSU as the problem. I think at this point (if you haven't already) I would be begining an RMA dialogue with Gigabyte (I believe most of their mobos have a three year warranty, I would think you're still in that period)
 
Now what should I do if I can't RMA it? You know, my budget is OVER, and I can't return the case, the CD-ROM drive, etc... I can't return anything. Is there any way to recover my budget back? (Or at least some way to return the motherboard?)
 
Looking into support a little more, I find the motherboard is built exclusively for Packard Bell by Gigabyte - support only comes from PB (which is why we couldn't get anywhere through Gigabyte) using the computer model number (also found their warranty is only 1 year - not good). What is the model name and number for your computer? There may be hope yet...
 
Well, I don't remember the name of the computer, because the computer is homebuilt by me. How would I get ANY warranty of it? This is becoming each time weirder. First the PC wouldn't power on. Then the computer gets a black screen. Then the motherboard is faulty and now I don't have any warranty for it! 🙁(
 
Hmm, I don't think I've ever seen rust on a motherboard before but I do live in the desert. At this point, I feel the need to ask... Where did that motherboard come from and is there any kind of return policy through them?
Does the computer do anything if you try starting without the hard drive connected at all - have you tried that?
 
No return of policy. Actually comes from this PC I'm writing from, as I upgraded it. It doesn't beep even without RAM. Officially I will say bye to this motherboard - but before that is there any way to repair it? I tried also taking it out of the case with no luck.
 
If there is not obvious leaking or swelling of capacitors (which can be removed and replaced with identical capacitors if one is adept at soldering) the ony other method of "repair" I know of is called reflowing. You can do a search for motherboard reflowing to see what is involved but from what I have heard it is a rather smelly job if done at home (I have never attempted it).
