Hello, new here and I have a problem with a
old SBC in an industrial application. It says "486 5x86 sbc ver g9" on the card. It has an lcd screen attached but it has stopped working so I pluggd in an external screen to make it work. But to activate the vga port I've been told to change some jumpers. The problem is that I cant find the info anywhere online. Does anyone have a manual or info on the topic?
Sorry for bad language.

I don't recognise it, and google image search doesn't recognise it, but if you get a picture of it at less of an angle, more flat, then google image search might give a better ID.

Otherwise, I would suggest unplugging the LCD connector to see if it defaults to VGA out. I realise you might not want to use it like that if you are trying to troubleshoot LCD, but if we get the POST screen we may be able to do a better ID from the BIOS screen... possibly also, the config is in the BIOS setup and the battery is not holding settings still. Those Dallas clock chip/battery/CMOS RAM modules are usually good for 15-20 years maximum and that one is 27 years old.

Unicorn herding operations are proceeding, but all the totes of hens teeth and barrels of rocking horse poop give them plenty of hiding spots.
