Allright I started to try to restore mine : First I desoldered the same components : https://i.imgur.com/zPmmbGbl.jpg There was also a patch of corrosion on the backside for some reason (perhaps the board had been stored against another board with a varta battery ?) https://i.imgur.com/1vieBC9l.jpg …

A bit offtopic, but what is that program you've used to see the jumper settings ?

This is great ! I have one board like this, heavily corroded. It gives me some hope I can fix it but I don't know if I have the time for that ... By the way your BIOS matches the BIOS we have on uh19 (version 1.2). What's the POST string of that BIOS ? I can't extract it from this ROM and I can't …

Most 286 ROMs are swappable. The chipsets weren't specific enough yet to really prevent your computer from POSTing without the correct ROM.

if you have another 286 using the same kind of ROM you can probably get it to boot with the roms from this board 😀

Can you dump the BIOS ? We might be able to find the brand using the POST string.

Can you please make a photo with the entire motherboard in the frame and without anything going in front of it (especially IDE cables) so we can add it to UH19 (see my signature) ? A BIOS dump would also be appreciated :) We might even be able to identify your board if we have it in our database …

Your chip seems to be from 1999. It may or may not be dead as well (I've got one from 1997 that still works, but that's not very common so it may be different for you). However if you simply swapped the chip and didn't do anything else, it's normal for the BIOS to display errors because you haven't …

CMOS setup is just part of the bios. You need to configure everything first. Date, floppy drives, hard disk geometry (this is important), memory size, primary display (EGA/VGA is probably what you need)

If you changed the CMOS battery, you still need to configure your computer first. By the look of it it's a really old award bios I think. Check if you can access the CMOS setup. If there's no CMOS setup built-in, then you need a setup program on a floppy disk. Maybe GSetup would work ?

What about making 72 pin Simms with these chips ? I have a 486 motherboard that can do 0ws on both reading and writing but even with 60ns simms, I'm limited and it doesn't take 30 pin Simms, only 72.

I wonder what's in that ROM. Nowadays you could recycle it to install an XTIDE ROM in a computer 😀

The photo can bring informations the manual might not provide (such as the socket or the chipset sometimes). If clear enough it can even be used to help people with a damaged motherboard to fix their own.
