Both my O2 boards have various patch wires, nothing to be alarmed about.

Someone documented it in this thread:

That's an excellent guide! Thanks for the link.

I see my photo links have disappeared, I'll try and get them back up.

I build in some PC Hardware with an Gforce 980GFx to run the Oculus Rift for my kids ;-)

So for the O2 Problem I‘ll try to replace the CPU unit with another one and have a try, btw I read something about upgrading a R5K to an 10K, I‘m not sure but I have this CPU laying around may somebody can spot it if it’s an O2 R10K cpu ?

Make sure the white pimm connectors are not damaged before you place the pimm on the risers, it looks a bit like you have some damage on the two white riser connectors.

So with the boot on power plug scenario, the O2 will pretty much cycle like this until a successful boot. This is how both mine boards behave after doing hardware work. Once it boots successfully it *should* return to normal...'should' being the operative word here....
