I cannot get this MB to post or even startup, only the LED above the f_panel inputs blink once, and thats it. I am definitely not the only person with this problem.
Even with no Ram or Cpu the Leds flash once when PSU is turned on. Something else to clarify is that I am the second owner of the board, previous owner had a fully working build with same ram en cpu, I actually bought the one stick of ram with MB. MB is 1 Month old.
Rest of PC Build :
13700k Trancend Jetram 2 x 16gb DDR5 4800 850w gigabyte psu Corsair 4000D Airflow Case
I am able to do a Q Flash Bios update, when ram and CPU is removed, as per Gigabyte's guide on updating with Q Flash button.
What I've done so far :
Updated the bios to current with Q Flash - only thing I can do currently with MB, Used different dates of Bios, Checked for bent pins on cpu slot, first thing I checked once MB received, Checked build for a short in case, Build components out of case, Different ram slots used, Different brands ram used, Other psu's tested, Cmos cleared, Battery replaced, 2 Different case power switches used (check if power-on connector is broken), Tried cpu_fan header plugged in, maybe MB needs to know if cpu is cooled - this MB doesn't seem to be bothered, Startup with mouse and keyboard plugged, some MB need that for startup - unfortunately not this one, Even used the leaf blower on it, like blowing into that old super nintendo cartridges back in the day.

Same problem as this reddit post
Any help would be appreciated. I am about to RMA the board if no solution.
