16 Jun 07 - 04:53 AM (#2078486) Subject: Tech: Motherboard Error Tones From: The Fooles Troupe I have acquired a HP P4 1.7 Ghz bare Motherboard in its original case - original PSU and CPU - all the obvious lights light up - including some leds on the MB. The LED next to the power switch stays lit. I can't seem to find the 'hard reset button. There is a switch that the case triggers so the lid has to be on while running. All obvious things have been wiggled to check that they are tight. I get a two tone warble for a couple of bursts, then several beeps. No other info at present - no idea what BIOS. Anyone able to assist in error troubleshooting? Sites for such codes? I could try and find a MB id code - but dunno what or where to look. Btw, using a KVM to connect - I don't want heaps of cables everywhere. I have a warranty, so if it is dead, I can get a swap. Robin |
