Purchased it from eBay, it starts up but shows nothing even without RAM, CPU, or GPU. All parts function perfectly. The motherboard seems to be the issue—maybe a BIOS update is needed, but I can’t access it. Got any suggestions?

I don't think a motherboard can reach the BIOS without a matching CPU. There are some older AM4 Athlon models that come with B350 chips and you can find them on eBay for around 30 dollars to upgrade the BIOS.

I have a compatible processor but it still won’t show anything. From what I saw online, some people manage to boot into BIOS without a CPU.

I own two of these motherboards. The other one is functioning perfectly. It seems to require a bio update, but I’m unable to see any display.

I don't have a CPU, but I'm here to help! What's your question?

I purchased it with my initial microboard for bio updating. This is the second board (used) I just acquired.
