1132741 2010-08-29 10:27:00 for a Chaintech P35-121-16B9 motherboard.

I bought this MB on trademe only to find no manual was included and the seller could not recall the connections (s'pose I should have asked first, however if I cannot get it going he is happy to refund ).

Really, the only pins I need to identify is the power connector jumper, the others I can leave for the moment. Maybe try trial and error later.

Caution... I searched the net for this MB and several sites claimed to have what I wanted, but most needed my phone number, prefexed by 64. Had I proceeded guess my next phone bill would be huge.

Anyway... one last thought. Could I do any harm if I jumpered two pins at a time till it powered up ?

1132742 2010-08-29 10:34:00 Well it looks like they've stopped making motherboards. So, it maybe hard to find the manual. If you know where the header is (on the mobo), for the front power, it should be labelled Speedy Gonzales (78)
1132743 2010-08-29 11:14:00 Thanks speedy, yeah the connector is easy to locate but there is no identification of the pins at all. All that is printed is "Front Panel", next to the
connector.

1132744 2010-08-29 11:21:00 Take a pic of the connectors on the mobo if you can Speedy Gonzales (78)
1132745 2010-08-29 11:43:00 Yeah Speedy I can and I just know you want me to post the photo somewhere but I damned if I know how to do it ! curly (6655)

1132747 2010-08-30 02:14:00 They used to have everything available at www.chaintech.com.tw but now nothing comes up for motherboards.

You could try contacting them, they probably still have the files.

1132748 2010-08-30 02:16:00 You can't kill anything with the front panel, it's easy to figure out the power and reset using a screwdriver, then just go by trial and error to find the LEDs. wratterus (105)
1132749 2010-08-30 02:35:00 I wouldn't go poking around.. there are voltages there, some things might not like it if you short them to other things...

Are you sure "P35-121-16B9" is the correct number? I checked Chaintech's website as archived on Web Archive and there is nothing by that name.

I bought this MB on trademe .. the seller .... is happy to refund ).


Personally I'd go with the refund., Chaintech were not a terrifically reliable board anyway......
