doh!
btw, you don't need video card installed, just cpu, ram in bank0, and floppy
drive to restore the BIOS bootblock.
if the BIOS recovery mode doesn't work, then there's something wrong with
the board. remove it from the enclosure, flip it over and carefully inspect
the bottom for shorted pins, broken circuit traces, flecks of
debris/conductive material, use alcohol to clean if necessary. rest the
board on non-conductive, antistatic surface, remove cpu and ram and other
peripheral hardware from the board, inspect them carefully for damage.
start over, plugin CPU, make sure it's properly seated and locked. do the
same for the RAM, bank0 only (2modules). don't reassemble the board inside
the enclosure just yet. either remove the power supply and floppy drive
from the enclosure or flip on its side, close enough so that the power
supply leads and floppy cable will plug into the mainboard. check
everything over (at least twice), connections all good, no stray conductive
materials to cause a short, etc. start her/him up.
i assume you've tested all peripheral hardware, cpu, ram, video, etc in
another machine (mainboard)?
tip - the antistatic bag that the mainboard was packaged in would make a
good antistatic surface to rest the board on while it's being worked-on
outside of the enclosure.
