Cyclone III Programs, Doesn't Boot

I have two boards with Cyclone III FPGAs that appear to program and verify properly but it doesn't boot. It has activity LEDs that turn on, showing that it is doing something but not operating as it...

I'm sure it is possible but sketchy at best.

We don't have the capability to re-ball these BGA parts. So even if we had a known working board and wanted to borrow the FPGA, we wouldn't be able to re-mount the donor FPGA. Not to mention, I would worry about damage of a good working board and a good working FPGA.
