What it should realise is that i have plenty of screwdrivers around for that dis-assemble mode, or I am sure i can borrow a sledgehammer if it got really bad (well not quite to that extreme).

LOL. Thats an interesting thought, made me laugh :-) Well, the PC is dead it appears.I put everything back together, turned the power on, again the CPU fan slightly moves and thats about it.
It looks as though the board IS getting power (hence CPU fan moving), but apart from that I don't get anything.
So... I suppose the next step is to try and borrow another CPU & board from somewhere, or ask someone nicely with a socket 754 board if they can test my chip.
I guess I'm kinda lucky that I still have a Duron 1400 and Celeron D 325 lying around I could possibly use until I can sort it out.
