Fitted the celeron with some thermal grease and a hs/fan. Slotted in a TNT 2, connected the hard drive / cd drive / mouse / keyboard / monitor and wired it all up and the buttons. I press the power button, everything switches on, psu, cpu fan spins, gpu fan spins, cd drive comes on and the hard drive. But, I dont get any output on the screen. Its just blank and theres no beeps. Any ideas? _________________ Would you like some OJ?

I even stuck my GF3 into it to see if it worked and I got nothing. I EVEN stuck the tnt2 into my main machine and it works fine. Fucked proc or mobo? _________________ Would you like some OJ?

Do you reckon I would be able to solder another pin on it? Ive got an old P120 here. Think I would be able to get a pin of it and solder it on? Or even just drop the pin into the hole on the board and then slot the proc in? Because I have heard of people breaking a pin and the pin is still in the socket, but they put the proc back in and it still worked. Vid card is agp and ive already swapped another card in it. and theres 1 stick of mem... but it will work on one stick because the friend I got it off used it. _________________ Would you like some OJ?
