Motherboard=Foxconn Winfast 6100m2ma-rs2h
sticker on bios chip reads phoenix bios d686 phoenix 1998 273035560
cpu= athlon 64 x2 4200+
mem.=k-byte ddr2 pc4200 1gb x2
hdd=maxtor 160gb sata 2
video=radeon x800xl pcie 256mb
on boot up w/o video card i get 1 long beep
w/video card i get Foxconn screen with setup options, but no responce to keyboard (any keyboard)
will not boot from hdd, cd, floppy, etc. cannot get into setup, clear cmos seems to have no effect
purchased this board from reseller on e-bay claiming Foxconn would honor a 3 year warrenty, he claims no libility.
I just want my board to work, any ideas? Does this sound like there is a corrupt bios or no bios?

Strange question, for you already know that the BIOS is not missing. You saw a sticker on it. Moreover, the BIOS contains the bootstrap program that starts the computer up. It is the very first thing the computer looks at when you power it on. If it's missing you won't see a thing on the screen.
Likely your memory is at fault. Probably only one of the two, so you can test this by removing one of them and powering on. If this doesn't solve it try the other one. It is pretty unlikely that both memory boards are bad, so if this doesn't solve it there's a problem with the motherboard or the BIOS.

It looks like BIOS has been flashed improperly. Better claim for warranty.
