| 611166 | 2007-11-13 04:11:00 | I screwed up bad again. I was fooling around in the BIOS of another homebuilt..thankfully not one I own..but this is the bad part.... Now it won't post, blink, run or anything but it does beep rapidly after a few moments like a smoke detector..and NO..there's NO smoke either! At least not yet. . I tried to pull the AC and hold in the power-on button for a few minutes..no soap! Next step is pull the CMOS and try it again..but after that I am outta ideas... Any help is appreciated here...:mad: :annoyed: :waughh: :( |

| 611167 | 2007-11-13 04:17:00 | On Most Boards there is a Reset CMOS jumper, try locating that and resetting the BIOS that way back to default , its usually around the location of the cmos Battery.Example (www.imagef1.net.nz) Whats the Board ? |

| 611168 | 2007-11-13 04:48:00 | I had the name in my head..but like most things there..it's gone now... I'll open her up and try to find the CMOS jumper. It's a FOXCONN...can't find any jumper though. Need some board numbers to help? QUESTION: when/if I find it, do I leave the jumper on and power up or just jump it and then return it to original position before I start it? |

| 611169 | 2007-11-13 05:21:00 | Usually there are 2 or 3 pins. If there are 2 pins, with the PC turned off, place a jumper connecting the two pins. leave a few seconds, remove the jumper restart the PC. If there are 3 pins, its usually set up like pins 123 pins 2&3 may have the jumper already, remove and place on jumper 1&2. leave a few seconds, place back on pins 2&3. Restart pc. If you are able to supply the model it may help, its usually in between the PCI Slots or some locatiom near the RAM slots |

| 611171 | 2007-11-13 05:37:00 | If you were messing about in the BIOS, then reseting it to default *should* fix it. I have fixed my PC many times like this while overclocking and it not wanting to POST... |

| 611172 | 2007-11-13 09:52:00 | try this, hold the INSERT button on the keyboard while the computer is sitched off, then turn it on while the INSERT button is still pressed! Does the trick of resetting the BIOS on some motherboards |

Does the trick of resetting the BIOS on some motherboards Switched off? Really? What commands are going back to the mobo if theres no power exactly? |

| 611174 | 2007-11-13 14:36:00 | Switched off? Really? What commands are going back to the mobo if theres no power exactly? That works on my Dells and maybe a Compaq or two, but this MOBO won't let me do that . I feel it just drains the CMOS and dumps the BIOS to a defaulted condition . I call that a forced BIOS reset . . . and it does work on some like I say . I found a bus with 6 pins and two two-pin blue jumpers . It is pretty close to the CMOS battery, but 'way down on the bottom of the board with no lettering to tell what it's for . Pins 1 & 2 had a jumper, pin 3 blank, pin 4 & 5 had another jumper and pin 6 had none . here's a drawing, as it is: 1-2 3 4-5 6 What the hey, I figgered . . if the power's off, what can it do? . . . . so, I jumped 2 & 3 and 5 & 6 for a few minutes with the power cord removed like below . . . . . . . 1 2-3 4 5-6 . . . . . . . . . . . . . and it worked . |
