When you say processor, I'm assuming you are speaking of the daughter Card (I called it the Processor Card until Michael Macdonald informed me of the correct nomenclature.
Heat on a circuit board is no indication it is working properly. The easiest way to test your daughter card is to place it in another PCP (180, 210, 240 it doesn't matter.) and try to boot up.
If it's bad, buy a G3 Upgrade rather than another 210.

I posted some questions recently concerning a Power Center Pro 210 I picked up to play with. It will not chime on start up consistently and I get no video out to a monitor. The ram it has in it is known to be good. The fan works as well. I used a good pram battery as well as reset the cuda button.
Now for the update. I pulled the riser card out of it and tested it in a Powerbase 200 I have and it is good. The processor heats up when I leave it on for a time. So I assume power is getting to it. Would that indicate it is most likely good? That would narrow it down to the rom simm or motherboard. What are the signs of a bad rom simm? I think problem lies in the motherboard. Anyone out there have one they are looking to get rid of?
Thanks.
