I got Z820 and the issue is the pc wont boot at all. I press power and fans (cpu, mem) are blowing 100% really loud. Fans on the back ramp up but gradually. There are no beeps or led flash, blue led is constantly on, there is also green led on the psu.
Ram(ecc hp branded) and cpu are good as I tested them in other PC.
I did try this https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Boot-and-Lockup/Z820-Bricked-Bios-after-Firmware-update/td-p/5718307 usb thumb drive is not blinking and if I plug the keyboard in and press numlock key there is no led on the keyboard so it tells me that there is no power to the usb ports.
There is no visual damage to the board and no bend pins on the sockets.
PC does beep 3 times and flashes 3 times red if I pull the cpu out.
Thats the confusing part for me, if the board "knows" cpu isnt in place, why doesnt it signal other issues as clearly there is an issue?
I dont want to buy new MB :/
