    D945GCLF Atom ITX board looping on graphics driver.

    This is Atom 1.6GHz CPU that sip 2W at full speed using D945 chipset.
    Latest bios and drivers versions.

    Without graphics driver I can use it normally with XP. With that driver installed, every time windows start to intialize the driver after desktop appears, it reboots itself.

    The intel INF driver got installed successfully with no issues.

    Also I have what I get is noise in the video (fine horizontal lines crawling up and I also have noise (using scope) in the Vcc for this D945 chipset. Filtered by two 1,000uF 10V and one smaller 220uF 10V, all GC Samxon caps. Other markings: X3A, temp rating of 105C There is H after this temp rating.

    This is one I consider unusual is it uses a LM358, (IPD)135N03L and 20T03GH
    LM358 pumps a sine wave (if using FET, should have been a square wave?) into these two power MOSFETs then thru this aforementioned 3 caps. No coil at all. What the hell?

    All other voltages from PSU, other switching regulators are quiet and working well.

    Cheers, Wizard

    Solved:

    And I was able to install with same video driver too.

    it was noisy PSU even had this PSU recapped myself. SIGH. Have to look into it and fix it again.

      have been seeing a rash of bad samxon gd in nvidia/evga boards recently.

        D945GCLF Atom ITX board update

        I finally had time to dive into the power supply again as I need it for another
        D945GCLF project to replace our ailing shop's server PC (Deskpro 500MHz PIII.)

        It was freaking perfect PWM waveforms on the -12 & -5 DC lines.
        I can't see why FSP used 100uF 25V pair crammed down there and COVERED with those burnt bread crumb glue. :P These two should be at least 470uF or more.

        Also hard to get my mind around that, what can regulators need these negative voltages? Early boards I would accept that but this no...Using LM358 IC to control pair of linear regulators for the D945 chipset. 22W. No switching neato stuff here. :P

        Cheers, Wizard

          LED DRIVER KEEPS DYING
          by osrex
          Hello, this is my first post and im just a beginner, so be easy on me guy. thanks



          i have a LED chandeilier that switches colors from white to cool white to warm when toggling the switch, it has 24 LED arms, each arm is 30 CM length.



          i have no datasheet at all for the LED lights, all i have is its length.



          long story short, testing the chandelier on the ground, and it works fine for 1 - 2 - 6 hours, no problem.



          as soon as i fix the chandelier to the ceiling and bury the driver inside the hub,...

          Vizio E55-F1 dark backlight zones. LED failure or Dimming Zone Driver?
          by howardc64
          Problem

          Fixing a dimming zone TV with LEDs not lighting up. Dimming zone circuit introduces added variable to diagnose LED and/or Dimming Zone Driver board? Some 1/2 rows of LEDs appears to be out in active dimming zone off AND some brightness flickering with active dimming zone high while playing changing video



          Model & Board Pics



          Conflicting Spec

          Vizio indicate this TV has 10 dimming zones. However, LED strips and Zoned light driver connector suggest 12

          Audio Driver for Thomson P14C4BK128
          by charif
          Need Audio Driver for Thomson P14C4BK128 (Windows 10/11)

          Hi everyone,

          I'm looking for help finding the correct audio driver for my Thomson P14C4BK128 laptop.
          The sound is not working properly, and I believe the audio driver is missing or not installed correctly.

          Here are the details:
          • Model: Thomson P14C4BK128
          • Operating System: Windows 10 64-bit

          If anyone has a working link to the driver or knows where I can download it, I'd really appreciate it.

          Thanks in advance for your help!

          how to install gl usb2.0 uvc camera device driver on windows 10
          by bohaboha
          Hello all am trying to reinstall my AMCAP Microscope on windows 10 but it is not working anymore. But the cam and the drivers are present in the Device Manager but there it saysWindows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) the drivers is : gl usb2.0 uvc camera device driver and i also get this mesage: Windows found driver software for your device but encou​ntered an error.
          but it is quite strange because it did work on this same OS for one week ago and even for sometimes ago on that same but now nix.
          any help?

          UN55D6900 BN44-00428B partial led driver circuit failure
          by Daveleone
          Hello TV experts! I have a UN55D6900. The successfully TV turns on, and the backlights light up, and I get a picture, but there is a section that is dim. I took it apart and 1 out of 4 segments of backlight LEDs are not lighting on both sides of the TV (in other words, the same segment is out on both LED strips).

          I tested the LED strips with my LED tester and all of the LEDs light properly, so I believe the problem is with the PSU/LED driver board (BN44-00428B). The voltages at CNM810 (between PSU and main board) look ok to me. The voltages at CNL801A and CNL801B look off for one...
