820-3476 pp5v issues (Orange light, no sound/video)

The thunderbolt and USB will probably not cause the board not to buut unless there is a hard short there. Compare the reistors around the SPI area with a donor board first!

Update! I had, for the hell of it, tried the bios chip from my donor board. It booted up, fan spins OK, and gives me an error related to serial number (expected). I told the retailer the previous chip may have been defective. They sent me another. New chip does the quarter fan spin issue. So should I just buy a bios programmer and do it myself? It's a bios issue I think, yet all my proper replacements dont let it boot.

yes, because all of these chips probably have fucked ME region which will cause issues down the line anyway. Get a programmer!
