Sorry, Not having an easy time finding a manual or any info about a similar problem, the fade out is pretty common but that zoom is weird. There is a plausible hardware failure that would explain this behaviour: Failure of the anode voltage insulation. A color monitor like that typically generates …

That looks like some kind of screensaver or third party joke application to me. I can't imagine that this is a mechanical monitor issue. I'd try booting to different media to see if it goes away. I have tried different devices, plus all the stuff I have on my machine are all just basic drivers and …

Hello everyone, so a half a year ago I bought a 17 inch Dell CRT monitor on eBay (refurbished). When I first tested it, the monitor worked great, it was until several weeks later when I started having some screen fadeout issues. It would happen sometimes when used but somedays it would work totally …

Well, on my 98 Rig, I have my AWE64 Gold routed into my Audigy 2 ZS's Line in on the back with the cd audio going into the AWE64 Gold. I'd imagine that you'd hear the AWE64 through the front panel audio on the A2ZS if you did it like that. Hello, I just got the cable in today to test in out and no …

Hey everyone, so I recently got these two cards working in my 98 machine and was wondering if there was a way to route them together internally. My AWE64 model is CT4520. As for my Audigy 2 ZS, I have the modified front audio connector that was sold by Performance-PCs (pic below) which works great …

The hard drive LED in every setup I've seen uses two pins, so my guess would be the first two pins with pin one being the hot one (maybe the other two pins are for a power LED and are unmarked?). As far as I can recall, I've never seen a motherboard that lights up the HDD LED even for a moment if …

You can definitely use KEYLOCK for power LED, pin 1 is 5V, pin 2 GND, see: here No worries, thank you …

Pin 1 seems clearly indicated, that would be where to put the (green) coloured wire for HDD LED, the other would go onto one of the other three. I'd guess all three would be wired to GND, so 2, 3 or 4 pin connectors would all work. Failing that, just separate the connector and try the options one …

Pine is one of the many, many PC Chips/ECS/Amptron/HsingTech/Elpina/etc synonyms. You're also looking for the wrong chipset - Via 693A is the Apollo133 (without A), and the board clearly doesn't have the ApolloPro133A (aka 694X) as it has an AGP 1.0 slot, not 2.0 like the A would have. So: a full …
