What did you set in the Bios for the CD ROM drive? But I guess now, that drive is just too new for a 486 mainboard: When it really needs PIO mode 4, maybe the board cannot do it? Crap, did not see that! Thanks for the info. I wonder if I could install a add-on IDE controller that supports Mode 4? …

So you try on CD on the second IDE controller? On the first IDE controller, there is just the harddisk? Another CD drive works on the second IDE controller? Does the second IDE controller work at all? So you try on CD on the second IDE controller? Yes On the first IDE controller, there is just the …

Have you tried another drive to confirm it is the board or the drive? What is the Plextor connected to, directly to IDE or set up as a slave? If directly connected to IDE does connecting something else work on that connector? If set up as a slave (is the drive jumpered correctly?) does connecting …

Hello, I am having an issue with my Lucky Star LS-486E Rev C1 not detecting my Plextor PX-W1610TA. I know that the Plextor works fine because it is working on all my other systems, 486's and others. I have tried every DOS CD-ROM driver I could find with no luck. I have also upgraded the Firmware of …

For example, in Wing Commander 2 at the Origin intro, you can hear some clicks in the fireworks parts with the MT-32. With my CM-32L, in Ultima Underworld 2, the music clicks very often. This video demonstrate the bug : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLvsaJ4h-VY&t=8401s and this one https://www. …

Gigabyte used "customized" versions of the I/O chips. Here https://jucetize.weebly.com/uploads/3/7/2/0/37200949/chip_compatibility.txt you have a compatibility list, I know that your chip is not there but you can se that Gigabyte used "customized" chips, the last I've remplaced was from an AMD 970 …

Hello, I have a MT-32 and a CL-32L and both have the clicking bug. Is there anyway to fix it without having to replace the units with non bugged ones? Is there a firmware update or mod that I could do? Thanks.

Hello, I purchased a Yihua 948II de-soldering station a while back and did not get a chance to use it until recently. For some reason I can't get the soldering and the de-soldering iron to work. The hot air part works fine. When I power on the station, the soldering iron temperature stays around 70C …

If someone has one of these IC and is willing to sell, let me know. Thanks.

Hmmm, it would appear the this IC is hard to find. Anyone knows where I could order one?

Filename Good news.jpg File size 91.29 KiB Views 852 views I removed the Gigabyte IC and the short is gone. I will order a new one and hopefully the board will come back to life.

Well, did somebody notice the estrange color in the middle of the super IO chip? Or my eyes are playing with me, or is because of the photo. The one on the bottom left of the board that has Gigabyte written on it. Here are some close up pictures of the IC. Since the board is dead anyway, I think …

I tried to inject power on the +5vsb pin with the bench PSU and nothing is warming up. I cranked the amp up to 1 and only used around 200 mA at 5v. I think that I will mark this board as dead and use it for parts unless someone has another idea. Thanks.

This fault is driving me crazy. +5vsb is grounded for some reason. I've checked every component that I can check and none seem to be shorted. There are 2 capacitor and a regulator that have there pins to ground also but I have removed them and tested them and they are good. The pads re still …

The PSU did die at the same time. Most likely took the MB with it. I tested with a known good PSU and the MB won't even power or post. I've removed and checked the LX8384 and it does not seem to be shorted. I've checked the 2 MOSFET K3296 without remove them from the board, but they don't seem to be …

Hello, My Gigabyte GA-6VXE7+ just died. It ill not power up at all with a good PSU. No apparent visual damage. When I check the power rails, I see that +5vsb is connected to ground. All the others are not shorted. Any idea which component could be shorted? Thanks.
