After removing all cards, dusting off CPU heatsink and MB, reseating DIMM’s and Vid card & swapping Vid card I still had the same indications. So I decided to remove the RTC/Setup battery and reset BIOS to defaults. Upon boot I got video and was able to enter the setup utility but as soon as I “saved any” changes I got the same indications as mentioned above. So I reset again, and again got video and was able to enter setup but was unable to “save any” BIOS settings without it reverting back to the “black screen of death.” I repeated it several more times to ensure that it was consistent, and it was. So my question is: with the indications above, can anyone tell what the probability is that the problem is the BIOS chip or that it’s the MB circuitry that supports the BIOS chip. I really don’t want to spend the money on the chip just to find out it’s the board. TIA, Joe You just need to replace the CR2032 battery that is on the board. They cost like $2.99 at walmart. Thanks, But I don't think so. In my 16 years of building IBM clones, I've never seen a MB whose BIOS wouldn't save data just because the "Battery backup" was dead; which is all that battery does. It's there just in case you loose AC power so you don't loose all your BIOS settings. A capacitor actually keeps the BIOS settings while you have AC power. If you loose AC power that battery takes over until such time that AC power is restored. Thanks anyway. Joe Joe, I have the Rev 2.xx version, and I had a similar problem, just slightly different, and replacement of the battery did the trick. Give it a try. Stranger things have happened, it's just another "funny" that can only be explained at significant cost and effort, much greater than the $2.99 cost of the battery. Chill. How did you know I had a can of chill? Do you mean the CMOS EPROM or one of the diodes Paul referred to? I find it hard to believe that your kind can be so presumptuous. I have not sought your council on interpersonal relationships, but rather batteries, MB's and EPROM's. A wise man such as Paul knows that you get what you give. That Psychology dictates that I'm a mirror, what you see is merely you only clearer. Or in other words what you see in others is a mere reflection of yourself, after all, you is all you truly know and that's not certain. So I'll give you the same unsolicited deluded condescension that you gave, CHILL! How condescending. So, you tested the battery while in circuit and it was fine. Tell folk that and they won't waste their time trying to answer questions when not enough information has been supplied. Paul is likely correct, if the battery volttge is fine. You (or someone else) likely shorted the CMOS reset jumper without reading the manual. Rob, How idiotic. (just repaying you) Did you read the original message? So as well as a fiction writer do you also talk to yourself? Seriously dude, I don't know what in the **** you're talking about. I'm the original owner, no ones touched the MB but me, and it's never been mishandled. As to assume that their is only one way a circuit can die. Dude let me educate you, on average Caps are usually the first thing to die in any circuit from just plain old age, from doing what the were intended to do. You guys are ****ing newbies, backyard computer fixers. I bet you call SIMM's and DIMM's "memory sticks." You can take the ****ing BACKUP BATTERY out and throw it in the trash (well actually all lithium batteries should be recycled) and the BIOS and the motherboard will work FINE, just don't unplug the PS from an AC source of you'll find yourself resetting all the BIOS settings. ITS A ****ING BATTERY BACKUP FOR YOUR BIOS SETTINGS AND THE RTC for god sake. It only comes into play if you loose power. Now like Paul has outlined if in fact the circuitry supporting the sensing/switching of power sources fails then the problem is the circuitry, the possibility that a dead battery can cause such an indication is only a SYMPTOM of the REAL problem. Some people are just clueless. I worked for Tandy corporation for 7 years back in the 80's. I spent the greater part of the mid 90's Working for Bell & Howell, producing custom built PC's for the Powersports industry (Basically a computer base Parts catalog and ordering system). We were making custom CDR's on a $3000 1X Sony SCSI based recorder back before anyone had the capability to master CDR's at home. Returned to Tandy in a sort of way as a computer repair technician at Incredible Universe , Tandy's huge retail store chain. Then went to work at CompUSA for a few years as Upgrade Center Manager for 6 years in Salt Lake City. So I do know my way around a mil spec soldering station and a PC. I only suggested the battery not to be a simpleton, but to try to suggest a part that was the cheapest to try and you wouldnt be out much if it didnt work. You need a new battery anyways if you have never changed it since you bought that old board.. Newby my ass! Some people are juct cocksuckers! BTW, buy a MB that is from this millenium!!! You shallow ****! Yeah I said shallow. What the **** does a new motherboard got to do with anything other than feeding the Capitalist BEAST. You're a ****ing moron. Brainwashed by the system! Keep on competing with the Jone's you mindless fool. Life's meaning escapes you! Paul's got a handle on it! Or so it would seem. His demeanor says it all! \\\ And by buying a chinese made motherboard you fed some communist. I bet your the type of liberal who wears cornroll haircuts and rarely if ever Do a Google search, it is pronounced either cornrow or cornroll. showers for fear of hurting mother earth. It's cornrow by the way, so does that mean you're a bigot as well? Where the hell did i say anything about ones race, I only commented that i hate certain unbathed liberals who wear filth haircuts. AND your solution was in fact ****, and has everything to do with your capabilities or lack thereof. Like I said earlier, Mr Hawking! Credentials mean nothing if you were in fact the the most ignorant simpleton at the various places you've mentioned. Why else would you move around so much. Becuase the dumb ****s who owned the companies ran them into the ground. CompUSA is history, Incredible Universe is history, and I didnt want to move and follow Bell and Howells relocation half the way across the country to go to work in Wooster ****ing Ohio!!!!!! You spoke of mil spec. Well I worked for the DOD for 16 years concerning TEMPEST. So what the **** does that really say, dip****? That we both know how to hold a soldering iron properly? Does it mean I was the lead scientist or the ****ing janitor. Probably closer to the later. The point man, the point obviously escapes you. The point man? Hippie much? You ****ing morons that depend on name dropping are the most ignorant people out there. PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING. And from my vantage point PAUL HAS GOT YOU ALL BEAT, BOTH AS A GENTLEMAN AND AS A SCHOLAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PERIOD! I honestly respect him! You others are a bunch of no account wannabes, ****ing backyard fiddlers. Intellectual infinitesimals. Quit sucking yourself and think of someone else for a change. If you cant figure out a bios problem on your own in this day and age and with your so called experience, what does that make you???? Human |

Like I give a **** what you think. You're a ****ING NOBODY! **** YOU! What an exquisite attempt at validating yourself. Original, thought provoking, but your mind is still a small crippled excuse for a person who himself has no answer to his problem. You are wasting valuable solution time by acting up like a three year old brat. If you know so much, then fix it yourself. Or were the 16 years spent learning the hateful words and spiteful attitude? I have never before seen someone ask for help and then belittle someone for making an effort to tender that help just because you didn't like their suggestion. Instead of beating those attempting to help, you might have just said that you tried their suggestion and it didn't work, then just say "Thanks, any more suggestions?" I have, I suggested someone try a splitter cable to see if it helped with their motherboard when it only had one PS2 port on it. And when it didnt work, rather than returning the $5 cable to the store, the person ripped me a new asshole for weeks, bitching to me that i shouldn't have suggested anything and i repeated that he should have done more research himself if he didnt want others to help suggest things to him. THIS person sounds like that very person. Say you took the mobo to a repair shop and didn't like their soultion. Are you going to throw a tantrum there like you did here? My guess is that you would think the same thing, but not have the cojones to say it to the persons face, because you know you would get a fist right in the old chopps. I can't wait for your next intellectual demonstration. Rant on! :-) |
