Hello all,
I've got a Socket 7 Amptron PM-9600 MB which is dead.
https://theretroweb.com/motherboards/s/amptron-pm-9600
Things I tried
- VCC2 and VCC3 are the same and correct - 3.3V on my P90
- Board is set to single voltage
- P90 works on another MB
- Clock is present, 60Mhz
- BIOS has voltage
- I've re-written the BIOS using my programmer
- Battery is ok
- The diagnostic card shows "----", no activity
- Reset line working
I have 3.3V missing from the diagnostic card but I think it's normal?
I am testing without RAM. It should still execute some code and beep.
Probing the BIOS lines, I basically see constant pulses. I might see a little attempt at doing something when I power up but very briefly, then I have regular pulses.
Any ideas?
Thank you!
