Hey,
I built a testing setup to check some old SD-RAM bars:
- mobo ECS K7S5A
- CPU XP 1800+
- VGA Nvidia TNT2
- PSU: some OEM
- loose PC speaker connected to mobo to evtl. getting any error beeps
Worked fine so far for several RAM tests.
But today it didn´t boot nor show any screen, no error beeps.
So I figured out that the small PC speaker had a short-circuit
("+" had contact to the speaker body due to a tiny isolation damage of the wire).
I disconnected from PSU, cleared the BIOS, took off the battery - didn´t work.
Plus took off VGA, then plus RAM, then plus CPU - didn´t work.
It´s dead, isn´t it?
Btw: Should error beeps (fixed the PC speaker) even appear when ALL components are taken off their place?
