Anyone seen any probs like this that can be solved?
The board was working just fine, then refused to boot, powers up for 1
second, wont power up on cardboard, onboard MB light not working.\

Maybe PSU +5VSB is failing ? Have you tried another PSU ?

Either your power supply or your motherboard has failed. Or possibly both.
The easiest thing to try first is replacing the power supply unit with a
known working one.

Gordon,
This is a nornal type of death for that MB. I had two of them just die for
no reason in the past. All had been working normal and on reboot they were
gone. I ended up with a new MB, a biostar M6VLQ-A003 that was cheap and
works great.
