It's really hard for a noob like me to buy electronic components 😀 There are multiple references and they are often sold in high quantities. Concerning the LMC7211 I can see there is a "simple" or "double" power supply. Do you know which one is the good one for the card ? Tanks again 😀!

Thanks sdz for all these usefull information ! Do you know a mouser or digi-key alternative available in Europe ? (shipping cost from USA are 10 times the price of the components). Thanks !

Could be "A004" on mine...Thanks sdz ! If someone can help identifying this transistor, it would be great !

I am trying to read on my board as Q510 and Q512 have the same reference but I can't clearly read what's written 😒

Ok, thanks, will try to see if I can find one at a good price. Concerning the Q510, I have no other picture of it. Looks like the ASUS FX 5900 as quite the same PCB...maybe it can help identifying the component ?

Hello sdz and thanks for your answer. For the transistor, you are right, PCB says "Q510" Do you know where I could find these parts ? Thanks 😀

Hi all ! :) I have an old geforce FX 5900 that I would like to save. Two components are missing at the card back and prevent the card from booting: https://i.ibb.co/wpyJbdM/Photo4471.jpg I've been able to identify the missing components : https://i.ibb.co/K7qBGMx/component-1.png https://i.ibb.co/ …

Yes, sure, but the 350 would have been a better candidate for BX board. Cleaning done. I have been searching the web and the board might be a Fujitsu OEM. Looking at an old web page, it looks like Fujitsu was using original Award MSI BIOSes. Have hot flashed the BIOS with Award one and...same result …

At the moment the motherboard is in white vinegar. I'll then clean it using isopropyl alcohol and I will try with all Pentium 2 CPU I have 😀 I received it with a P2 350 that was working at 233 I think...strange match.

The thing is that I don't know where to find the good OEM BIOS to test...The board was shipped to me with an AMI BIOS sticker on the EEPROM. I've seen on MSI website that there are AMI and AWARD BIOS for this board. I have already made a deep clean, may be not that good, I will retry. I have tested …

Thanks weedeewee, but what I mean is that I'm trying to test slot one through the motherboard back https://i.ibb.co/b59rww8/back.jpg SSTV2, i'm not 100% sure, but tracks look fine. SMD seem ok but I don't know how to test them correctly, this is just a visual check. CPU and PSU are fine, i've tested …

I found this site with slot 1 pinout : http://ps-2.kev009.com/eprmhtml/eprma/f706.htm Problem is that I haven't been able to make measurements from the slot 1 itself but only from the motherboard back and I am not sure of how both sides match.

Hello weedeewee ! Yes, same card. It's working correctly on PCI slots and I now understand why this is not the case on the ISA ones :D Still no life after reinserting something like 100 times the cpu in the slot :/ I don't understand why the CPU is dead cool athough it seems receiving the good …

Hello SSTV2, thanks for this suggestion. I will try this. Northbridge and southbridge seems to heat up normaly but I can't say if they are OK or not.

Not sure whether it's this one or not but I have never been able to make it work on an ISA slot 😁 LEDs are not labeled (only the electrical L for LED) and manual was not included when I received it (not a problem for post codes). Without CPU or without BIOS, display is the same "0000" 😒

Right again, I tried the 266 configuration with no change, I removed the jumpers to have the same configuration as the one when I received the board. You have good eyes 😁

Hello bofh.fromhell, thanks for your answer ! 😀 Yes, JBAT has a missing pin. I soldered a jumper to the back of the card. Concerning the slot, yes, it is the light, pins look OK. You are right for the rust. I have made a cleaning using isopropyl alcohol with no change.

Hello Warlord and thank you for your answer :) Yes, I tried with a battery with the same result. Differents memory sticks and CPU tested, each one resulting in a "0000" POST code :( BIOS has been successfully (at least in the uniflash meaning of the word) hot flashed to the newest version available. …
