HP / Compaq have succeeded !!
Hello everyone !
I have an motherboard from a Compaq Presario Desktop PC 7EL7000T-131. I have tryed to find a manual or some information regarding the "LED-Connectors" on this MOBO. Can anybody help or know an URL for this ?!. I would be so happy, send an ice-cream and a couple of shorts !!. It really are amazing how hard it is to find drivers manuals etc. on those companys bloody homepage´s. If legally possible somebody should set up a page with drivers etc. that doesn´t take a day to find. I might be a stupid unintelligent person, but I´m not alone. I´m now looking for the adress to the company here in Sweden, I will visit there office and hide soooo much stuff for them. YES It´s revenge !!. Thank´s in advance !

Not every bit of info for every part is kept online forever. As stock of
parts is depleted, there is no need to keep the info online. If you try to search for parts info on that model, you get: "Information is not available on HP PartSurfer for this product. For parts information, please call (800) 227-8164 between 5 AM and 6 PM Pacific Time, Monday thru Friday." So follow instructions here, and enter THAT info to search for. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/d...4&lang=en#N542 If no hits, then you'll not find it at HP. Especially if the info you are looking for is ' nice to know' but not necessary to repair. ( designed to swap out MOBO , not repair it onsite) Try ebay etc for your model PC. I often find what info I need for old models there. Bobb "VmnEjG" wrote in message ... Hello everyone ! I have an motherboard from a Compaq Presario Desktop PC 7EL7000T-131.

Hi!
I have tryed to find a manual or some information regarding the "LED-Connectors" on this MOBO. Can anybody help or know an URL for this ?!. Try looking at the connector with a magnifying glass to see if it might have markings on it that tell you what connector would go where. You might get lucky and it only takes a few minutes. If this is a relatively new PC (within the last five years or so), you might also try looking on the motherboard for a model number. Such a number can usually be found between the PCI expansion slots or in the middle of the board. Punch that number into Google or your favorite search engine and see what you find. You may find that the board in your computer is nothing more than a rebadged version of a model sold by any of the big motherboard makers. I recently did that with a new Compaq and found that the motherboard inside was nothing more than a variant of a model offered by ECS/Elitegroup. Although the Compaq variant has only one PCI Express slot, it still took the ECS BIOS and drivers without issue. Strangely enough, the CPU has a Asus fan and heatsink on it. William |

ECS/Elitegroup? A new low in quality, then, for the HPaq. This is simply
another motherboard made by that paragon of manufacturers, PCChips, and stickered with ECS/Elitegroup markings to cover up the origin of manufacture. PCChips achieved its reputation by placing fake cache chips on its 486 motherboards way back when. HPaq boards OEM'ed from Asus and FIC are at least respectable in quality. ....

Hi!
ECS/Elitegroup? A new low in quality, then, for the HPaq. That's what it is, but in model # only. There isn't a sticker on it proclaiming its maker. The model # has an extra "H" and does not match up precisely with any ECS product. Some Google searching turned up a technical information page (don't have it handy right now, nor am I front of the system) from HP stating that the board was made by ECS/Elitegroup. I do happen to think that the board is of decent quality and looks to be reasonably well made. I wouldn't have associated it with PC Chips. Yes, the system is a low-end inexpensive model sold at a steep discount. I still don't know why it's got an Asus fan/sink assembly on it. I didn't know they sold those standalone. (But then again, perhaps someone grabbed the wrong brand for the finished system. PCChips achieved its reputation by placing fake cache chips on its 486 motherboards way back when. Interestingly, I have a loose 286-20MHz (featuring a Harris Semiconductor 80286-20 CPU) PC Chips board that is still working great. I have used it for a variety of things, but most of the time it sits around on an anti-static mat. Even the onboard battery is still working and accepting a charge when powered up. I don't know, but this would seem to suggest that at one time (now past us, or so I think) PC Chips did know how to build a good board. HPaq boards OEM'ed from Asus and FIC are at least respectable in quality. I have a 2005-era eMachine across the room from the Compaq that is using a FIC board. Haven't seen too many of those...but this one has always been reliable. When I've built my own systems, I've used Asus boards. Only two exceptions exist--one system I put together needed a lot of PCI slots and only Supermicro had enough. (Asus marketed a board that would have worked, but it looked to be vaporware when I got there with my needs.) The second was a system built around an Iwill P55TV (loved that board) and a Cyrix 6x86 CPU (didn't really like the CPU). It worked until I zapped the board while working on the system. William |

It is common, nay, the usual practice for PCChips-ECS-Amptron-Matsonic-etc to
obscure as much as possible the origin of motherboards. Very few markings on the boards themselves, although the BIOS identifiers typically give away the manufacturer. If you are unfortunate enough to ever get a boxed retail version of one of their boards, the box betrays nothing about the ultimate manufacturing source, and the installation manual contains no clue as to manufacturer or tech support contact. Pride of ownership in ones products? Just the opposite. The attitude expressed is one of "Here is the product. Don't EVER bother me." Part of the whole scam is to come up with these other brand names... Ben Myers On Thu, 09 Aug 2007 05:17:33 GMT, "William R. Walsh" m wrote: Hi! ECS/Elitegroup?
