Is this still an overclocking issue? - take it you didn't get anywhere with the links in this thread BIOS Flashing on a Compaq Presario 5284

Both. I have one big desktop (no riser, cards go directly to MOBO) with S370 Celeron 733. 20 years ago I owned classic Compaq Deskpro (big slim desktop with PCI and ISA slots in riser and "low profile" onboard AGP) with Slot1 P2/266. And I also have two mini desktops - this one (P2/350 in Slot1) …

Watch those silver caps on the Soyo - I had the same ones on my Soyo KT333 Platinum Dragon board and every single one of them upchucked 🙁

No, the voltage regulator on your board fully supports Katmai P3s, but can't support the lower voltage requirements of Coppermine P3s.

Re: Anyone have original compaq restore disks

I usually find the easiest way to pinpoint the files is thru the model-specific Compaq support pages on archive.org which gives you the SoftPaq SP numbers then just hunt these down online, either on the various HP ftp servers or the multiple archived mirrors. Maybe more info on specific model nos / …

Does this look like the correct one for the Deskpro 2000 http://cwcyrix.duckdns.org/ftp-archives/ftp.c … 5000/SP4711.TXT if so just change the .TXT to .EXE to download the matching Softpaq...I'm sure the others are available too.

If you look at the picture at native resolution --> https://frankfurt.apollo.olxcdn.com/v1/files/4uyhqmldcwsn3-RO/image;s=1632x1224 , it does indeed look like a PC133 SDRAM DIMM is physically installed . Whether or not the board actually works with is another question . Nowhere in the ad does it …

Here's a link with the board apparently set up with 64MB SDR - does the picture gallery give any more clues? (looks to me like it's jumpered on the two pins nearest the board edge) https://www.olx.ro/oferta/kit-sk7-intel-penti … html#a93b4f90d2

Presuming the lower half is a (removable) hinged door, given the perfect colour change match to the shut-line and was probably stuck on a ledge out of the way somewhere but in sunlight.

Posted on 2020-05-28, 20:26
Ok so there's no extra character at the end which means retail Intel board was used. Thank you for the information though. Maybe that's why this bios version is higher than the highest one carried by Fujitsu support (1.00.06.DT0). Also I seem to remember they used to include the board number on the …

Hopefully @dionb can confirm for you, but meantime if you do a Google search for "ps-6201-1c pinout" and look at the images returned you'll see a Polish forum http://www.elektroda.pl/rtvforum has done some work on this already
Re: Failed FN45 Socket A ITX board - where to start with diagnosis/repair?

Brand-wise you'd be looking at Rubycon, Nichicon, Panasonic or UCC (United Chemi-Con). As to specific brand series, maybe someone more experienced with actual recapping might chime in on that.

Sadly yes - I'll quote @PCBONEZ from another thread here "OST caps are famous for failing without bloating or leaking."

I'd be thinking that every one of those OST caps is a potential source of (open) failure without visible sign - are you up for the time & cost of a recap?

Should be near the CPU slot, between the CPU and the ports of the board. Two coils, then 2 power transistors, then there an IC. If there is a totally different model on the chip, please post that one, I see some boards were made with a different model and brand of controller chip. Saving myself …
