    It might be an ampere limiter in the BIOS interfering. Possibly for artificial obsolescence...

      Same BIOS as the board that will run them, so not likely. At least in software.

      It's probably something really stupid... like less than 20 I/O connections to the CPU not existing or the like.

        Missed this.

        Anything "Special" done? Was the X6DA8 on the latest BIOS?

        Both CPUs are good... maybe you have a different revision board?

          Nothing special, whatever the latest BIOS is from their site, I'd have to fire it up to get the version number. I'll also check the revision number of the board. My X6DAI also had no issues with the Paxies.

            Re: Ratdude's Main Rig V4.1

            reflashed stock BIOS (in case SLIC was the issue), nope, no good.

            My board is a revision 1.2

            Looking on ebay:

            found this, same thing without SCSI, but also a 1.2:

            https://www.ebay.com/itm/Super-Micro...IAAOSwCGha8FZj

            The only other thing I saw that's worth my time was this, but it's also a 1.2:

            https://www.ebay.com/itm/Supermicro-...UAAOSw5JJZkv~b

            Didn't see any reasonably priced DAi's or DA3's... so Paxville might be a fail for me? Grr...

            Maybe I'm better off to reflow the dead X7DWA-N and put it in here.... Edit- off-topic, but those boards are re-appearing:

            https://www.ebay.com/itm/Supermicro-...oAAOSwwoZa5Cec

            (who the hell puts a workstation board in a server, seriously?)

            https://www.ebay.com/itm/X7DWA-N-Ser...kAAOSw3Sla373B

            Too bad I'm about to blow a lot of money on travel... otherwise, 4.1 might be getting a REALLY BIG upgrade Maybe if nobody bids, they'll relist with a lower starting bid.

              Re: Ratdude's Main Rig V4.1

              Decided to try her out again... still only showing 4 CPUs. I rebooted to try to shut off HT (to see how that affected things)... and dead. Spins fans.

              Nothing was hot to the touch...

              Tomorrow (or whenever I get to it) I'll pull the CPUs and see if installing the irwindales revives it. If not, she's dead...

                Played with it tonight... she runs!

                Issue was either a loose RAID card or bad RAM connection. Swapping CPUs didn't help (although given the Paxville rejection, it needed to happen anyway). Reflashed my SLIC BIOS, all better. Good as new.

                  Is it possible to upgrade from a Vestel 17MB97 main board to a 17MB110 Main board?
                  by cheeky2
                  I suppose the real question is whether the existing pinouts from ether a 17IPS71 psu are cross compatible with a 17IPS12 psu? If they are then the exchange of the main boards should have no issues providing the screen is compatible with both main boards. Obviously you can change the screen configurations easily enough (providing you have the correct files) for the main board. Why may you ask would I do this? Well a lot of the smart features are no longer working on a Hitachi 48HBT62U main board I wish to give it a new lease of life!
                  Obviously the same LVDS connector for the screen connection...

                  Sceptre U550CV-UMR 4K LED, Bad Caps on Main Power Board?
                  by Dani_2024
                  Hi and thanks in advance for any input you might provide!
                  I have a Sceptre U550CV-UMRD8POTV83BB 4K LED (this is a dumb tv) that I bought new in August 2021, so It's just completed 3 years.
                  Main power board model: TP.MS3683.PC821 T-Con board: N4TP546UHDPU2L_BO

                  Last Sunday I was watching a dvd and fell asleep for about half hour, when I awoke the tv screen was black and couldn't get the dvd menu to show, so I changed the input to antenna and had sound but no picture, turned it off. I then got online and found this great site! ....read many troubleshooting tips and this...

                  Help Needed: Samsung UE55MU8000 Dead - Possible Main Board Issue
                  by Asraf Atb
                  Hi everyone,

                  Im looking for some advice regarding my Samsung UE55MU8000 TV with main board model BN94-11606C. The TV suddenly stopped turning on and now shows no signs of life at all not even the standby light at the bottom.

                  Initially, I suspected an issue with the PSU, so I took it to a repair center. They tested it and confirmed that the PSU works perfectly, even on other TVs. Based on that, I started investigating the main board.

                  I disconnected the main board from the PSU, and the backlight turned on, which seems to confirm the main board is the issue....

                  Compatibility of main boards between different variations of samsung MU6100
                  by JSin21
                  Hoping someone here could possibly help. I have a few questions in regards to compatibility with main boards. But I'll give a quick short run down on what's going on first;

                  I have Samsung Smart TV UA65MU6100WXXY version DA01

                  Now years ago it started intermittently playing up after a lighting strike. Lighting hit the block of units i was living in at the time. Ever since that night the TV started having a mind of its own, It would randomly turn itself off or on, and all inputs stopped responding like HDMI, aerial, but USB still worked. Anyway, over the next few months...

                  Sony xbr-65x900c main board issues?
                  by jb_Bak
                  Hey guys great forum glad to have found it. I bought a Sony XBR 65X900C cheaply because it didn't work. No signs of life at all not even a light/led. All I hear is a brief high voltage sound when I throw the power to it.

                  Didn't see any obvious signs of damage so right away started checking voltages. This is what I see:
                  Power Board Connector that goes to Main board
                  CN6401
                  Pin 01 NC
                  Pin 02 NC
                  Pin 03 "BL_ON": 0V
                  Pin 04 "N/C"
                  Pin 05 "STBY 3.3V": 3.5V
                  Pin 06 "GND": N/C
                  Pin 07 "AC_OFF"...
