Re: Need help on emachines 1840 Plz

Re: New MOBO
weird thing i always see that only 2 jumpers were needed mine has 3 why i have no idea but still i removed the 3rd one and did exactly that put the 9-10 and 5-6 no sound i havent connected the cables from the mic or headphones from the front becouse the plugs are not the same nor i have a clue where they go really. maybe that might be the couse of this no audio problem. how do you go into the bios manually maybe i can see if audio is enabled.Leave a comment:

Re: New MOBO
speakers are plugged and even asked the tech at tiger he told me that on the fromt panel jumpers there should be only 2 on . there's a pin missing on one side so he told me on each side from it set a jumper looking at the diagram from mobo it says the same. also inserted the cd in board at it said that the drivers were not installed so i hit install. i remeber when i restored the HP it was the same and all i did was dowloaded the driver for the AC97 and worked fine afterwards. maybe it helps if i was to connect the mic plug and headphones. maybe thats why but am not...Leave a comment:

New MOBO
Hi again Guys well am here trying to find out and hopefully you guys can help me out. i hope is a little step am missing. i just replaced my MOBO on a emachines t1840 box nexgem. my thing is i had plugged eveything in the right place looking at the guide but the damn pc still wont come on. come to find out the light that would always stay on with past MOBO was the HDD light which now i can see the fan in the MOBO running. and hard disk making some part of the noise it makes at start up but no pic in the monitor. i bought a mach speed micro atx board from tigerdirect link [url]http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1644615&sku=M450-1020[/url]... -
Re: Need help on emachines 1840 Plz
well all the capacitors are in the same connection type board. meaning i can sracpe the board anywhere to make a better connection. and i kinda noticed a broken path on the board which i made. put a wire to recoonect it. but is kinda hard when you dont have a multitester to verify. i will be looking into buying a multitester since i guess is kinda of a need. for many things either way ama buy a new MOBO this weekend at tigerdirect and maybe later i can trouble shoot the old bord with multitester. i just wish i had a copy of xp home couse i have...Leave a comment:

Re: Need help on emachines 1840 Plz
well originally it had 10 of the same YEC caps(replaced by Best buy in december) only one was good. but i went and replaced all 10 anyways with M caps. i can see smaller caps some are made by sam young and they are 70 mf and 6v i also see some smaller ones that have a symbol of ohm more or less they are blue 220 mf 16 volts. and 3 brown ones that say kzg 1500 mf at 16 volts all look good i think i may need to buy a multi meter to get back in the game. i see the jumper and it says clear cmos do i just take the lil block off and try to turn it on?...Leave a comment:

to tell you the thruth i cant say for sure the brand i got of this guy that sells electronic components. he said m something like they are black with gold he told me they were good then again any sell person will tell you that . i noticed that the foils are very small on this so what u also did was scrape the board to make a better connetion. iv'e seen people talking about different caps from different materials. i hope maybe i messed up in pacing this caps and i should get others this ones say +105 oC FC and a m in a box the pervious were YAC...Leave a comment:
