Hi guys Just found at the flea market what I believe it's a PcChips M558. The issue is that some capacitors around the CPU were forcefully removed by somebody and I don't know what to replace them with. If anyone has some clear pictures of a complete mobo or schematics for it, It would mean a lot. …

Looks like it might be a couple of stuck data lines to memory. The first line on your boot screen says "A'a"d M/d%l!r B O " which should read "Award Modular BIOS". Looking at the hex values for the ASCII codes: w 77h, ' 27h r 72h, " 22h o 6fh, / 2fh u 75h, % 25h a 61h, ! 21h So both 6 and 7 get …

Hi guys, I managed to get my hands on a Voodoo Banshee for really cheap (1$). It had some busted caps near the memory modules that I replaces with new ones of same values. The VGA connector is bent but on a connectivity check, no pins short-circuit and the ground pins are where they should be. On a …

Thank you 😀

Hi guys I have this Suntac SUH286 motherboard with a busted tantalum cap next to the oscillator and for the death of me cannot identify what are the specs of that. It just has '10k' on it and as you might have noticed, I am a noob without the right tools to measure capacitance. https://imgur.com/ …

Nothing else connected, just one ram slot used, and the VGA cable connected. I changed the battery with a new one.

Hi guys, I got my hands on a Fujitsu Siemens Esprimo E5700 that outputs no video and I am trying fix it. The mother board model is D2334-A11, has embedded VGA, 2 PCI slots and a PCI-E (that allows ADD2 only). I tried onboard VGA, PCI video card on both of the slots and I get no video output. CMOS …

Bother, I was about to say I'd found it list on UltimateRetro where SM-P5TX3 is given as an alternate for a Kaimei KM-T5-T3: https://www.ultimateretro.net/en/motherboards/7907 and that has jumper settings. But the layout doesn't match. So it's probably the other P5TX3: https://www.ultimateretro.net …

Hi guys, Recently I got my hands on an obscure socket 7 motherboard for which I don't know the manufacturer, just the model: SM-P5TX3 (the one in the first page of this forum: https://forum.index.hu/Article/showArticle?t=9013352&la=155520136). I've been trying to make it work but I seem to hit a …

Hi guys, I'm relatively new to the MIDI world, but I've been using a SC-55ST in my DOS gaming rig for a while and I am extremely happy with it. I've been wanting to push to early 90s gaming and I just took the chance of acquiring an MT-32 for relatively cheap (mt-32 emulation wasn't satisfying). Do …

Thank you for your reply. Will try and do that

Hi guys Proud owner of a Voodoo 5500 here. Seeing the prices of these cards, I was wondering if a cooling mod is required to prolong the life of my card. I'm a conservative about retro gaming (all the modern 'parts' in my P3 are the fans and the thermal paste) and that is what stops me from just …

Hi guys, new in here. I've just acquired a Compaq Armada E500 to use as a mobile retro game machine with Windows 98 SE. I was wondering if I can upgrade its GPU using an external PCI adapter (http://amfeltec.com/products/flexible-minipci-to-pci-adapter/) instead of the miniPCI modem. For the 'new' …
