AOPEN AX4BS-V MOTHERBOARD - won't boot - won't POST - help please!!
AOPEN AX4BS-V MOTHERBOARD
Windows 2000 Pro with latest service pack & updates 384 megs of ram (128-meg sticks x 3) tnt2 video card 80-gig hard drive running hardware monitor III - which checks the temp & voltage I was using CuteFTP to transfer some files to my webserver. My computer locked up. I hit CTL-ALT-DEL - no response. I hit the reset button. Instead of rebooting, I got: * no video output * all 3 LEDs on my keyboard flashed 5 times quickly, paused, then repeated * fans were spinning, LED on my motherboard was on I pulled the power cord from power outlet, waited a few minutes, then plugged it back in. When I turned it on, I got the same results: * no video output * all 3 LEDs on my keyboard flashed 5 times quickly, paused, then repeated * fans were spinning, LED on my motherboard was on I pulled the power cord from the wall, opened the case, and removed the power leads from the power supply to the motherboard. I then (following the instructions in the mini-manual) moved the jumper JP14 from 1-2 to 2-3 for a few seconds and back again. I then plugged the power leads from the power supply back onto the mother board, plugged it into the wall outlet. Now I got: * no video * no keyboard errors * no beep codes * cant get to the point of hitting DEL to get into CMOS and reset back to defaults * fans spin - so I know there is power to the motherboard I then pulled every card but the video card (network, sound, etc), removed every IDE cable from the Hard Drive, the CD-Rom and the floppy drive. I then removed the power cords to the same devices. I then removed all of the memory (3 sticks), and put a random one into Slot #1. I then removed the button battery that backs up the CMOS area, waited 10 min, put it back in. I then did the Jumper JP14 again - trying to reset the cmos that way. Now I got: * no video * no keyboard errors * no beep codes * cant get to the point of hitting DEL to get into CMOS and reset back to defaults * fans spin - so I know there is power to the motherboard I now I have it sitting on my desk, no power of any kind going to it, battery pulled, no cards except the video, and I've re-seated it to make sure it's ok. no ide cables, no power connected to hard drive, floppy and cd-rom. I have no idea what to do. I could not find what the original 5 quickly-flashing keyboard LED error was... Can someone help me please?? I have major important work that has to be done this weekend and no computer! I'm on a friend's computer right now. If anyone can help me, please post here or email me at: Thanks! Lucy |
