If so I can only think of a couple of items which you probably tried.
Which could just be something else needs to be reseated
If the q9550s works to a point then something must be wrong with the e5200
Is jumper 1 shorted out. need that for bios.
If no display at all could be the debug board or connection.
As a final note,
I have never possessed a ex48X.
I have never tried just laying everything on a table outside of the case and boot.
But I do know there are grounding clips/screws to the case for some of the devices and ports.
Some of it probably is for shielding. But it also could serve as a ground reference for some components.
Thanks for the arrow pointing. It's great to chat!
1) Yes, all components are out of the case.
2) I could try the e5200 in a 49x I have and rule that out.
3) Jumper 1 only appears to enable "del" to permit the board for boot to bios instead of booting straight to OS, but yes the jumper is in.
4) I just cut a side window in a spare case I have to make it easy to connect/disconnect the debug board and make sure the connector is fully seated.
5) I've never had an issue doing testing with the 49x board outside of the case. But these little buggers can be really finicky. Next attempt I'll use a case...
I'm starting to think the board died somehow while it was sitting in the closet, but that really makes no sense.
