Hey, I recently bought the board from a 6500/275 to upgrade my 5400/180 (96MB/7GB). The guy I bought it from said it was from anything 5200-upwards so I assumed it would work OK.
It arrived today and I changed all the cards over and dropped it in there, hoping it would become a 5500. It powers on OK, but I get no Video. I can hear the HDD spin-up and the CD-Rom responds, but I get no little green light and the built-in monitor doesn't seem to respond at all. It wont let me Zap the PRAM and pressing the CUDA did nothing. Any ideas? I had the same problem when dropping the 5400's board into the Performa, despite being assured that it would work. I know there are PSU issues, but I believe that boards from a similar family should work OK?
