heh but yeah, try swapping the video card with another pcie one to narrow it down, if you still can't see post then something's up. No reason to narrow it down to what's messed up on the board, its easier to just conclude that the board is fubarred.
Have you tried www.pricewatch.com I usually get boards/replacement parts there on the low low...


good luck
