    eMachines T3065 (FIC AU31)

    I recently recapped an AU31 and did a poor job.
    Honestly I was surprised the board POSTED when I turned it on.
    My brother has been complaining since then that the computer has been running slowly. Today I noticed that the BIOS is picked the Athlon XP on it at 1300mhz when it should be more like 2100mhz.

    Could this be because of my shitty soldering job or does the problem likely lie elsewhere?

    Thanks much.

    Hi gonffen

    I had similar problem few days ago, after recap tha MOBO, the PC was working very slowly and the CPU was always at 100%.

    I follow the suggestion (by robofind and gdement) to clear CMOS because even if the BIOS appears correct, some settings can be wrong; after clearing and loading fail safe setup in the bios, the PC started to work correctly.

    Hope this help you

      Thanks for the reply but I already tried clearing the CMOS(both pin + battery methods).
      It's the BIOS that's seeing the processor wrong.

      I've been wondering if it would be worth trying to flash the board with a less stripped BIOS...

        I just got finished flashing the BIOS with a modded TCB420J binary I found.
        After reboot the board didn't seem to POST. I attempted to clear the CMOS a few times and then it booted right up. I was then able to set the bus speeds and the BIOS then saw the cpu as an Athlon XP 3000+ like it should.

        Thanks again.

          OLD eMachines T6520 BIOS Request!
          by grimacelord
          Hello,

          I know that this is probably a long shot, but I figured if anyone could find this BIOS, it would be you guys.

          I am working on an (old) eMachines T6520 desktop PC that might have a corrupt BIOS.

          Model:
          eMachines T6520

          Motherboard markings:
          MS-7145B0505068731
          RS480M
          7145 v2.1 RS480-A21+SB400-A23

          Symptoms:
          The computer does power on, CPU fan spins, but does not POST. No display.

          Troubleshooting steps so far:
          Replaced the CMOS battery (which was in need of replacing)
          Re-seating...

          Whirlpool PACF212HP W portable air conditioner, upper fan only turns slowly.
          by spleenharvester
          I just acquired this portable aircon, history unknown. Its behaviour is quite strange:
          • When turned on and placed into cooling mode, the upper fan (cold air out) just spins slowly. The compressor and lower fan do not run.
          • If the device is then placed into heating mode and then back into cooling mode, the lower fan and compressor kick in and start cooling, but the upper fan still only spins slowly.
          • If the device is placed into fan-only mode, the upper fan does not respond to low/medium/high speed toggles - just keeps running slowly.
          • Display and buttons all behave normally aside from the
          ...

          Emachines T3104 "Sleeper"/random parts build.
          by dmill89
          I decided to see what kind of "sleeper" build I could do on the Emachines T3104 from cheep/free thread with the "random junk" I had laying around (with the exception of a SATA to IDE adaptor I bought to make the original Emachines optical drive to work).
