Ok, here's the tale. Mike, bear with me cause I know you know it already...
Anyway, here goes:
I ripped (maybe a bad word cause it didn't rip, but best I can think of now) my Athy cover off last weekend and then took off the heatplate. I of course wanted to see what it looked like.... Naturaly, right!?! So, All this was done vary carefuly and then when I saw that I only had a 700 core (I was upset, call me an a$$ if you want, but I was hopin for more), I decided to put it back together. So I put the heatplate on and then today when my new alpha got here, I put it all back in my comp (after several attempts with a stock cooler which was too small to support the chip). I still get no post. I have the 4 red leds in my K7 PRO which means the cpu is not seated. Ohhh, but it is....
So, here's what the deal is. The chip is back in one piece again. Nothing fell off the chip. There are no cracks anywhere on the chip/cache/pcb. The fu*ker is in the slot. I have plugged everything in correctly.
What else can I do. I took this chip which was working from my Uncle's computer (in exchange for mine cause I was hopin for better cache/core - it is better cache btw). I know the chip used to work. I know everything else in my comp used to work. WTF!?!

***Edit***
I forgot to mention, the chip will move about 15 degrees either toward or away from the chipset.
