Yeah, if you wanna pull together a few datasheets and research it, I can punch out a pcb for you. Just tell me what it needs to do. That is a particularly perplexing situation though. How one chip could assert dominance over another while in parallel. My guess is there may be a pin for telling the …

Hello guys I have a 286 motherboard ( CDTEK M218 ) featuring the VL82C311 chipset and the motherboard is not working. It looks good, ( no battery leakage ) so I said it will be a good candidate for repair. Hi, I don't know about those very old chipsets. Of course they are much simpler than modern …

Anyone has the datasheet for the IT8870F-A? No datasheet. At least you can compare GND and VCC contacts of I/O chips of …

Another idea - the RESET button circuit may be faulty and cause the system to be in a reset state. A PWG signal for the southbridge may be formed by a PWM controller of CPU VRM (as example).

PCIRSTJ (reset in PCI bus) is active (low) , isn't it? A southbridge will deactivate it when power-good signal PWG gets active. Or maybe it's some faulty chip pulls reset to low level. Or the southbridge is faulty itself. The southbridge is ALi M1543/M1543C here. So you can find a datasheet and …

If the driver installation fails then try to edit *.inf file removing in either of two lines a chunk "&SUBSYS_B16E0E11&.... " It will expand range of devices for the driver. So you will get something like String1%=Trident.Install,PCI\VEN_1023&DEV_8520 I mean that sp16985.exe driver-file is just a …
