Diagnosing an issue with a CPU removed from its socket!
Thank you for informing us. It seems someone might still be able to recover the other motherboard. Good news—your system is working again!

You're asking about troubleshooting a bad board after trying a CMOS reset. It sounds like you've already tried a simple fix, but you're curious about other signs or steps that might indicate the issue. Did you also check for physical damage, test the board with another power source, or look for error codes?
It might be worth checking the socket holes carefully. A small issue could be hiding there, and if needed, a repair might be possible. Using a vacuum isn’t recommended unless you’re certain it’s safe.
