POST beep ?

[Jethro]

Do all mobos have a little beeper on them for POST signals ? My new
ASUS socket 478 has a couple of pins for a "panel speaker" and doesn't
beep on power-up, even though it's working fine....

No, your case should have a small speaker that you attach to those 2 pins.
If it all works, then don't worry about it. If anything starts to go wrong,
then the beep code might be useful to you.

Ah, no speaker in case - the previous mobo(MSI 6714) had a little
pizeo soldered to it.

I spent hours tearing my hair out, because unbeknown to me, my LCD
montior had some sort of fit and "jammed" (uplugging the power lead
cured it). So I was staring at a blank screen - not beeps and
wondering wtf was going on. If I CBA I'll post the full story ....

You can solder leads to the piezo buzzer from the old motherboard.

I suppose he could, but the old buzzer was soldered to the
old board most likely, and odds are good the new board also
has a position on it for the buzzer so if it's desired to
use the buzzer and there's the ability to wield a soldering
iron, it'd be much neater to just have it on the new board
directly instead of with leads.
