Dead CPU??????

I have recently acquired an XP2100 chip. It has no signs of physical damage. When I tested it, the PC fired up (with no beeps) but nothing on the screen. Is this CPU dead? Can it be fixed? Any help much appreciated.

I havent. But like I said, just bought it second hand. I have Asus A7M266 MOBO. Bios version 7. I have put a XP2000 chip into it and it works fine. But the XP2100 chip doesnt. The CPU does not smell nor have any marks. I am presuming i have bought a dead CPU?
