Don't forget to clear the CMOS as was suggested above.

The board is not in the case (it actaully never was
). It has no 'clear CMOS' jumper so I just took the battery out, waited for some time, put it back in and still nothing. I'll try to leave it out overnight and see what happens...

It might not actually be a 'jumper' per se it my just be two contacts on the motherboard that you need to touch with a screwdriver.
