gift.

I just reset it back. Nothing good, the same problem. I put away the agp
video card I start with a pci card. I put away the memory and start
without
is the same..
Maybe is not a good contact at the battery. How to check if it is a good
contact?

Thank you

I would try to reset it again, unplug, wait for led to die, take out the
battery, reset, put switch back, put battery back, plug back in, power
up..

I dont belive in removing the battery, but the manual does call for it,
so
I
gues you should do it "per" the manual

I have the following problem.
I tried to clear the CMOS at a motherboard A7N8X Deluxe. Well I
moved
the
jumper from the position 1-2 to position 2-3 I removed the
battery.
Then
reinstall the battery and move the jumper back.
I can not boot anymore. I don't hear nothing. No beep. I can not
see
nothing. The pc is dead. The onboard green led is open . I can see
the
green
light.

Please advice and help.

Thanks in advance.



Did you unplug the PSU before you tried to clear the battery?, was
the
PC
turned off, did you check to make sure the battery is in the correct
position?

Have you checked your power SWitch lead to make sure it didnt get
disconnected while you reset the bios..

Have you tried disconnecting the power cables, clearing cmos (leave
battery
in, move jumper over, then move it back) and reconnect power
cables..

When you try to turn the power on do the fans (any of them) start
spinning
or no?

Do you think NOT removing the batt. before the clearing can screw up
these boards tho? I haven't tried it myself. ;p

No I dont...
I would really need to see the tracks to tell, but you would think that the
jumper actually makes the circuit for the battery when on 1-2, and it
actually makes the drainage resistor when it's on pin 2-3

Believe me when i say that your board is probably screwed right now. This
keeps happening on the A7N8X models. I recently had to RMA mine but go to
this thread for more info

Contact the shop/vendor and ask to RMA the board.

That is the wrong order. You should remove the battery first then briefly
move the jumper and return it before putting the battery back. Doing it
your way may have damaged some components. You should have read the
manual first.

All you need to do is to move the jumper with the machine off. Leave it
for a few seconds and move it back. No need to remove battery or to even
unplug the unit. I have done this many times without a hitch.

Visually it seems to be OK. It is with plus up. I already tried with a
voltmeter. I put the - at the case and + on the battery and is OK. I
have 3.1 V

My guess is that the CMOS chip or the bios chip is screw'd then

I would bet on a bad CPU.
