    Ahtlon XP in Dual MP board?

    It's been a few years, but I remember reading how you could mod two Athlon XP CPU's and use them in a board design for MP's. Does anyone know hope to do this?

    You have to short an L bridge on Athlon pcb so the motherboard recognizes it as a Athlon MP cpu: the exact bridge depends on Athlon core revision. I think it's better explained on Cpumsr tricks page and Fab51.
    If you wants to have two cpus running, then be sure they're identical - same core, same frequency. Same revision isn't strictly required but may help avoid exceptional issues turning into lockups.

      google l bridge modding.
      i did a bunch of it years back but a bit rusty now.
      there are l bridge combinations to denote athlon,duron,mobile,mp,and a few other setups.

        Buy two semprons 3000+'s...

        They are rebadged MP's...

        If you put them in a Dual MP board they come up as MP1900+'s...

        Better yet get two XP-M 3000+ processors and close the MP bridge...

        16.5x133.33 goodness!
        Ya'll think us folk from the country's real funny-like, dontcha?

          I already have two 1600+'s. It's odd because I found the second one in a curbside computer after a flood. It works and all that thou! =D

          Thanks you all for the replies also.

            Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
            by Tynan Dill
            I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

            Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

            I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

            The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

            With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

            Assuming...

            Hi, this is my personal laptop, which the original board (lets call it Board A) blew up PU8700 (TPS51486), making a hole on the board, i had left the laptop at my desk one day with the battery fully charged and didn't touch it for a week, but when i tried to turn it on it didn't

            LG OLED77G1PUA - No Video / Audio after a TCON Board change and Software Update
            by Hakuu
            Hi There,

            This TV was auto switching off after few seconds with some vertical lines on the screen, so got a new TCON board and replaced it.

            After replacing the TCON board it was working fine and i set it up with everything, used for few hours, then had the bright idea to update the software on it. During the update process, TV switched off and now no audio or video. No relay switch sound.

            More Details

            TV Model - LG OLED77G1PUA

            Got the same exact TCON board from TVPartsToday and replaced it. But didnt transfer the EPPROM data (didnt...

            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"...

            Panasonic TC-P54VT25 No image. A or D board?
            by canadaboy25
            I have a Panasonic TC-P54VT25 that will power on and prime the display but there is no image at all.

            The panel is primed as there is a slight glow from the entire panel. This means the problem should be logic related. The service manual also confirms this and recommends replacing the A or the D board.

            I have tried to get the TV to display the test sequence but I have been unable to and I don't even know if this TV has a test sequence or not. I tried following tom66's instructions in post #3 on this thread https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=26790. There was...
