I found a Shuttle AB60R mobo at a local store for $28 bucks. It should
work with a P4 Northwood 400 fsb cpu. I tried a 2.4 400 fsb celeron with
1 stick of pc3200 ram. Board refused to post. Swapped the Celeron into
current pc ,(Abit IS10) and it worked fine. Swapped the P4 2.2 400 fsb
from Abit board into Shuttle board, still no post. Tried the ram in all
4 slots, still no post. Tried 2 different power supplies, no joy.
Cleared the cmos, removed the battery, same result. Fans fire up, lights
on the board come on. When I remove the cpus they are still cool. It's
obvious they haven't powered up.
If the board had been damaged by static would the lights and fans still
come on?
If the ram was the wrong type wouldn't I still get some sort of sound
from the mobo? I seem to recall 1 mobo squawking mightly when I
installed the ram incorrectly.
I think I just bought a board with a dead cpu socket.
Any way to tell for sure?

And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the Universe is going to
