      Re: Trying to renew my old computer

      Sounds like a bad board.... Tried reseating things? Verified CPU, RAM, and GPU are good?

        Re: Trying to renew my old computer

        Is it powering up, but nothing else happens other than fans and LEDs? That is a common issue. The first thing to try, is to reseat the video card and the RAM.

        A dead CPU can be the cause of the above-mentioned symptom.

        Especially on socket 775 and later-era systems, it can mean poor contact with the RAM. They're known for not always bleeping and sometimes will do nothing, except for powering up, just like a dead CPU.

            Re: Trying to renew my old computer

            We need more details here.

            I see the board is socket 1155 with H67 chipset. Manual says it supports only 65 Watt TDP CPUs (i3, i5, and i7). The board also has on-board video and a PCI-E 16x 2.0 slot.

            With that said, first and foremost, does the board even power up? In other words, if you press the power button, do the system fans come On and stay On? The PSU fan may not come On if it's a newer PSU and has an "Eco" mode feature or just doesn't run the fan until it gets hot. However, the CPU fan should spin and keep spinning for as long as the system is up and running. If the system seems to only power up and turn off, you may have a power issue. If you do, stop here and let us know. If not, then continue with the below items.

            1) What CPU are you using?

            2) What about RAM - what kind of RAM are you using? Can you provide a picture or specs written on the RAM?

            3) Have you tried resetting CMOS yet? If not, disconnect power from motherboard and remove CMOS battery for a few minutes. Then re-insert battery and re-connect to PSU. See page 54 and 54 in the manual and check your BIOS jumper block configuration is correct - it should be in the "Normal" position when the board is operating properly. But to reset CMOS, put the jumper in the "Configure" position and try turning On the motherboard with that. If board does turn On in the Configure position, move jumper to Normal position, set up things in CMOS, save, and restart. Board should boot normally.

            4) Which graphics port are you using on the motherboard - on-board or external graphics card? If on-board, try an external (discrete) video card.

            5) Does the board have a mini speaker/buzzer? (According to the manual, page 13, there should be one - it's labeled "N" on the diagram.) If not, try connecting one to hear if BIOS throws up any errors. If none, remove all the RAM modules and see if the board beeps then. Report back what you get here.

            6) If none of the above work, disconnect power from motherboard and remove CPU from socket. Check CPU socket pins carefully under good light and see if any are bent or broken.

              Hi momaka and thanks for all the advice.1) mothercard lights up whith the power cord ,presses on start no fan, power supply is ok tried with jumper and it works. Bios jumper is on normal Cpu: i3 and it has no pins but I will check the socket tomorrow. Have connected the speaker but no sound and have used onboard graphic card HDMI port. I have not tried your suggestions because it is quite late 04 but I will return with pictures and answers to your questions thank you very much

                    Hi Stj as you said so the battery was dead encapsulated one. I have examined the psu socket's pin momaka asked me to do the upper half is straight and the lower half looks to be curved but the whole lower half so I think they should be so you can maybe see in the picture

                                      no, it wont damage the board.
                                      maybe the bios is corrupt and needs to be reprogrammed.

                                          Hello everyone.

                                          I have come here with a rather specific question. I was given a Dell Latitude 7420 laptop with a busted screen, and wanted to see if I could refurbish it into my daily driver. I wanted to experiment and see if a 2-in-1 display would work as the chassis of the laptop and 2-in-1 7420 looked identical. I threw in the display and my hypothesis was correct, however, I was greeted with a locked BIOS and since I didn't know the password, I figured I'd try to unlock it somehow. I bought one of those POGO pin probe things for my CH341A programmer so I could read and make...

                                          Hi everyone,

                                          I hope someone can help me.
                                          I have an Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 (G814JZ) laptop with a Winbond 25Q16JWNIG chip on the motherboard.

                                          Unfortunately, I flashed the wrong file (BIOS/EC/other region – I'm honestly not sure anymore), and now the laptop is completely dead: no display, no fan spin, no reaction at all.

                                          I have a CH341A programmer and I'm able to read and write to the chip. However, I'm not sure which software is best (AsProgrammer, NeoProgrammer, etc.) or if there's anything specific I should watch out for.
                                          A valid BIOS/EC backup...

                                          Asus Chromebox CN62 - wrong chip put on BIOS reader
                                          by BMCappelletti
                                          Long story short:
                                          - dad converted Asus Chromebox CN62 into Windows compatible, with mrchromebox BIOS, years and years ago
                                          - gave the computer to his son a couple years later
                                          - son now decided to revert it to Chrome OS, to sell it as original (re-writing BIOS with the backup one created by his dad)
                                          - too lazy to remove the board from the case, thought a voltage regulator was the BIOS chip (you know... it has 8 legs)
                                          (seems like the story was not that short)

                                          He used alligator clips to read the chip. No luck reading it. Removed chip and placed on a SOC-8...

                                          HP 840 G1 Completely wrong system info
                                          by Andreasbest
                                          Hello.
                                          I received a 840 G1 with completely wrong system info in BIOS.
                                          Serial Number and everything is wrong, even the Model is wrong (written as 850 G1)
                                          How can i reset these info?

                                          Thank you!

                                          hi,
                                          i've being using this Cello tv, uk brand, C40rts, HK.T.RT2841P638 main board, for a year or more.
                                          Last week i've found an update, 3rd party, that i though it was close to my board. Inserted on a usb stick the install.img, started the Firmware update, ended, rebooted and nothing. The led (red-green) keeps flashing, backlight is on but to response on remote.
                                          I've retried with original fw, no success. Hooked the uart Cp2102, putty, tried to swuu command (to update from usb), it goes for a while the get "cpu reset" on laptop screen that brakes the process and halt....
