I've not only removed the ram, but put in compatible working ram that I had laying around. There are no beep codes because the computer will not start to boot. I'm really leaning towards bad mobo. And with the RAM out, it will not beep.
Since replacing the BIOS chip is a liability for me as a technician, I would rather give the computer back and tell them who will fix it (once I find someone).
I think however, that a new mobo will most likely fix it, but that's a bold assumption to make......
Anyone else have anything?
BTW- I've had the same problem with two other of customer computers from the same manufacturer
