New AB350 ITX - is it ryzen 2000 ready??

Interesting ... I'm curently using my old Philips 47" LCD TV over HDMI and there's no problem. Or let's say it works now after some confusion and trial and error.

After building the System (and it wasn't my first one) I double checked everything and fired it up. The RGB leds in my case started to pulse red (which was just coincidencial as I noticed later) and the fans spin up and then nothing else happened. TV says no signal .... I tried about 5-10 times, remounted the RAM modules becaus I knew from earlier builds they sometimes have bad contact because you can't or don't dare to push them in that hard :-) but nothing. I also hook up a PC speaker just to hear any error codes but it kept silent. I clear CMOS and did all I could think of, which wasn't much because there's literally nothin in the case that could make troubles lol.

I can't tell what was wrong but after several tries with pushing the reset button and power button and reconnecting power plug it came to live. I heard the CPU fan increasing rpm and thought hm something changed so I waited and after a few seconds I had a post and it went to uefi! Which was intended because I had no drives installed yet.

However, your report concerns me a little bit, what if I connect a newer monitor ...
I'll soon try it with my LG OLED TV (2017 model, HDMI 2.0) because the system is meant to be a HTPC / Console like device. Hopefully it will run there as intended otherwise ... hm dunno.

But this issue sounds like it should be fixable via BIOS update, doesn't it?

... and the adventure nears its end....

Keep us posted.

Yea. All the boxes that have that sticker on them. Corporate halted shipments and then updated the BIOSes manually, one by one, using a pigtail that does not req a CPU mounted.

I'm told it was grueling, and I imagine it was. 40,000+ of them.

But let me inquire to be sure. They are hand flashing crucial updates(Thanks AMD! NOT!!) at the factory and that may well be why yours is sharpied out. Thanks Wardog.? Box does have the sticker on it, "AMD Ryzen 2000 Desktop Ready". Wardog, did you find anything out about this?

Ooops. I'm terribly sorry for not having answered this. My sincere apology.

Yes.
