Have tyan motherboard which has an onboard video

motherboard LED but no beeps and no output to the screen.
Tried using PCI-X video card without any results.
Manual doesn't state anything regarding the FF code
so I don't know what's wrong. The only
related problem i found on the web is from some person
who fixed it by changing jumpers on the mobo.
Unfortunately the manual isn't clear enough
on what, if anything, I have to change.
If anyone has any tips I would be very interested in hearing them out.
Well, lets see. You want tips on changing jumpers, and
you don't even mention the motherboard model number!
Some Tyan boards have a number of jumpers on them,
because of the extensive I/O options.
FF is pretty universal. It means the processor was not
able to execute any code at all. FF is the default
state for a port 80 display. (00 is also a favorite, so
it is one or the other). Any code which is not 00 or FF,
was put there by the execution of BIOS code, so then you
know that the processor has executed some BIOS code.
My guess would be, you forgot one of the many power
cables, needed to make those boards work.
