Probably bad capacitors somewhere on one of the boards.

Alright. Thats definitely something i can do. I will have to order the programmer when i get some spare cash. any chance this is one of those chips that can be programmed in circuit or will i have to desolder it.

Found the manual and other possible BIOS options here: ftp://ftp.dyu.edu.tw/pub/Hardware/vendor/Diamond/Legacy-Micronics/PENTPRO/W6/ You probably need to remove the BIOS chip and use a TL866 type programmer... Any particular recommendations on a programmer. And do you just load the .bin file or …

I dug it out from the corner it was buried in. I misremembered what happens when i turn it on. It boots to a black screen and makes 3 beeps repeatedly. I took some pictures of the board attached below. I did not see any rev 1 or rev 2 markings.

I did not even know there was a rev 1 and rev 2 version. I had a very hard time finding any bios updates or information at all. Does it say on the board or how do i find it. If it wont boot past the bios checksum or similar screen is there anyway to do a bios update off a floppy disk or am i looking …

Funny to say but windows 98 did dilever all the driver needed. Seems like its out of the box working! I had no problems yet. Thanks anyway for all the help :-) Can you please make a post listing what hardware this machine has so that anyone who has this issue in the future and doesn't want to use …
Re: Why is the Asus P5A so fast?
Posted on 2022-06-15, 20:48
This is not an asus p5a but it does have an ali Aladdin v chipset and i am curious to see how it matches up with better systems. It is an IBM Aptiva 2153, it came with a 3xxmhz k6-2 of some kind which i swapped for a pentium mmx overclocked to 250mhz with a 100mhz bus. I have always felt that it …

I have a micron millennia pro or pro 2 with a w6li dual pentium pro motherboard. I accidentally botched a bios update, either the wrong file or something went wrong during the flash. Does anyone have the correct bios and know what i would need to do to flash it. The computer boots to a screen that …

I did some more research and unfortunately the wayback machine did not save any of the drivers. It appears that machine was offered in both a pentium 2 version with presumably an intel chipset and a k6-2 version. If the k6-2 version is anything like the aptiva 2153 it probably has an ali aladin v …

Hmm at the old IBM archive is lists 2151 but only 82C, 84P, 84Q, 84V, 88P, 88Q and 88R. No 30A. and links are broken..... The 30a might be basically the same and just a code signifying what store it was meant to be sold at or something. And sometimes you can put broken links in the wayback machine. …

You are likely going to have to track down drivers manually. I have an aptiva 2153 that came with a k6-2 on an ali aladin v chipset motherboard. I was able to identify some of the drivers i needed by reading chips on the board. Some of the devices had to be identified in device manager to find out …

That is reason for best clean up is using ultrasonic to get out dirt in tight spaces like under the ICs, BGA etc. But best way is get another 2.7 processor that is not ruined. Second, if powered with liquid under any BGA ICs, you will have shorts for sure, always reprrestive of time even 10 seconds …

find someone who have ultrasonic machine and wash that processor board in it. Phone repair that does soldering will have one that is large enough to fit some of it and turn over to do other part. They use it to clean liquid damaged phone boards for recovery or data recovery. We have one too. Cheers …

The dual 2.7ghz i bought works to some degree. I soaked both processor cards in vinegar, then water, then alcohol. Processor 0 seems to be working normally. Processor 1 is reporting erratic and often negative temp numbers and the computer freezes after about 3 minutes and has to be force powered off …

Another update on the plywood G5. I found a dual processor 2.7ghz G5 for sale locally. I was able to get it for 25 bucks as it was listed as broken. It came with 2gb of ram and either a radeon 9600 or 9650, case says 9650 but the card looks like a 9600. The liquid cooler had leaked heavily but …

I finally got around to making the new sides and top for the plywood G5. When the weather warms up i will coat the plywood in polyurethane spar varnish exactly like my plywood music rack that its sitting on. I used aluminum angle iron for the corner pieces, its strong, easy to drill and looks good. …

I would like to upgrade the processors on the Plywood G5, Its a powermac 7,3 the 2004 revision. I have seen some indications that this isnt possible on the base models with only 4 ram slots. Does anyone know for sure, has anyone actually tried it. The early 05 powermac 7,3 used dual 2.0ghz on the …
