Thank you!!!! Thank you!!!! Thank you!!!! Thank you!!!! Thank you!!!! Thank you!!!! Thank you!!!! Thank you!!!! Thank you!!!! Thank you!!!! Thank you!!!! Thank you!!!! Thank you!!!! Thank you!!!! Thank you!!!! It worked!!!!! I tried it the first time and i got lights but no display or chime. I tried it again letting it sit for longer and it chimed and the display came up! Thank you so much! I was ready to order a new mobo! I pulled it apart again and reset it and am going to let it sit overnight to be safe. I took your advise and only went to 433MHZ. This machine has been sitting for close to a year. I am going to use it to make my 22" widescreen monitor into a tv. Just hook it up to the digital TV converter. I chose the minitower over both of my desktop beiges because of the better graphics. It really makes a difference! Thanks again!
