So, removed motherboard, cleaned up the pads with fine abrasive paper, reassembled. I found a couple of the screws were a little loose, and I was filled with optimism that I'd perhaps located the problem. But alas, no change on reassembly :-(
So all things considered, having tried most things known to man, does this probably mean that the motherboard has some sort of failure?
Looking at Wikipedia for ATX board specifications, it seems that my board is slightly smaller in one direction at 230mm, whereas the standard spec for a microATX is 244mm square. Is it likely that a standard microATX board would fit?
