I wondered, I had a similar deal years ago. The client cooked the PC and it was a socket 3? IIRC, that plastic was so brittle the heat sink snap nub broke right off... Sucked, as they placed the blame on me.

Whats the latest on this? I'm curious as to what happened!

You were right, the board was toast. Although I can't prove it 100%, I'm
convinced it was heat that killed it (you should have seen the inside of
this machine). All the other components tested out fine, however, so I
swapped out the board, and the machine works. It's interesting that the
CPU didn't take any damage from the heat, but from what I can tell, it
didn't.
