No POST, no beeps, no display. Breadboxed, checklisted, stripped down, no luck. Mobo DOA?

Title says it all. Bought new ram and new mobo to replace dead mobo in previous build. Put them in, powered on, and nothing. System powers on, but no POST, no display, and no error beeps from system speaker.

I have done ALL of the following multiple times, so please dont ask me to do these again:

Followed all steps in "no POST" thread - no result

Breadboxed system, multiple configurations of hardware - no result

Swapped PSU with known working PSU - no result

Swapped CPU with known working CPU - no result

Reset CMOS - no result

Removed everything but PSU and speaker - no result

This seems to indicate the mobo is dead out of the box, but I would like a second opinion before admitting defeat because I literally do not have the money to replace the mobo AGAIN.

Well, I got a new one in today, hooked it up, and....exact same issue. No display, no post , no beeping. I am seriously at a loss here. What else can it be? All of my parts are known to work, so I seriously do not know what to do.

Mobo is a GA-G41MT-S2PT if that helps.
