Asus Rampage Formula IV- debug LEDs not working

[branskyj]

Hi all,

I have an Asus Rampage Formula IV motherboard in my PC. When I turn on the PC the debug LEDs do not show anything- they remain off.
Other tiny LEDs on the motherboard light up but not the aforementioned ones. The PC doesn't boot even (no BIOS, no Windows).
I reset the BIOS- no luck.
I switched to the second BIOS- no luck.
I flashed the BIOS with the latest BIOS from ASUS's web- site- no luck.

I already bought a new motherboard, transferred all the rest of the components onto it and the new computer is running perfectly fine.

I am still trying to resurrect the old motherboard though.

MY QUESTION IS- if there are absolutely no components installed on the motherboard should I be getting ANY code from the debug LEDs?
Or do I have to install at least the CPU (or even RAM) to get some digits there...

Thanks.

the led clock should lightup no matter what,if it isn't then the board is faulty or dead

Damn. I was kind of hoping there was another way...
In that case I will seek out my warranty and possibly send the board back to ASUS.

Cheers mate and have a good weekend.
