Identifying a board (finally)

Hey guys,
I don't know why I've not done this sooner but I can't find a clear conclusive answer anywhere and so I'm sure someone on here can help this pain I've been having for ages.
Right,
It says on the MOBO it's a:
'945GCM5 V2' & MS-7267 VER 4.2.
The current spec is
Intel E4500 OC'd to 2.7Ghz
2x1GB Of DDR 2 667MHZ RAM
ATI 6870 1GB
Now all I finally want to know is are those RAM & CPU the max it can take?
An answer is and will be greatly appreciated.
Tom

64 bit os or no, that board cannot remap the hardware reservations above 32bits. So you are stuck.

How Do You Identify Logic board revisions for MDD FW800?

I have a logicboard, the CPU board, and the heatsink for a PowerMac G4 MDD FW800 DP 1.25 that I want to sell, but I can't figure out what Revision it is (A, B, C) or if it is 133MHz or 167MHz. I do not have the computer (bought for parts) they came from anymore but I have my own MDD FW800 DP1.25 I could consult. Logic boards, I'm discovfering, don't make for easy reading--can anyone assist or point me to a "Logic Boards 101" text?

Hi-
The following should help to ID the logic board.
For the FW800 1 ghz board, the part is identified by looking at the serial # ON THE BOARD.
Look for one of the following code combinations in the
last 4 digits of the serial # : NME,P2X,P3E,P3G,P3U,P7P,P8E,
PFD,PFF,PFG,PFT
This would be the 133mhz model.
For FW800 multi processor boards, the part is identified by looking at the serial # ON THE BOARD.
Look for one of the following code combinations in the
last 4 digits of the serial # : NMF,P2Y,P3F,P3H,P3V,P7Q,P8F,
PFE,PFH,PFJ,PFU
This would be the 167mhz model.
For the MDD 167mhz, rev A, look for one of the following code combinations in the
last 4 digits of the serial # MXJ,ND0,ND9,NE2,NE8,NEV,NEX,NFA,NFG,
NG1,NKT,NNR, NNS,NNW,NRC,NWK,P8S,PG2,PG3,PG4,PG5,PG6,PGI
For the MDD 133mhz, rev B, look for one of the following code combinations in the
last 4 digits of the serial # : NF9,NG1,NNR,NRC,PG7
For the MDD 167mhz, rev. C, to determine which 167 MHz logic board is installed in the computer, check the AirPort Card connector at the edge of the board.
If there is a 2-pin fan connector on both sides of the AirPort Card
connector, it is rev.C. Otherwise use rev. A.
Look for one of the following code combinations in the
last 4 digits of the serial # :MXJ,ND0,ND9,NE2,NE8,NEV,NEX,
NFA,NFG,NG1,NKT,NNR,NNS,NNW,NRC,NWK,P8S,PG2,PG3,
PG4,PG5,PG6,PGI

Help needed in identifying MSI board

Hi gurus...
I recently bought a secondhand Micro-Star motherboard off eBay (yeah, stupid, I know, but you live and learn) in an effort to rectify a problem with my sister's PC - it's only really an email box so I didn't want to spend a fortune on it, but she wants to use floppies, and I suspect that her current FDD controller is faulty.
Trouble is, the board came with no identification, no driver/install CD or much else. I've tried contacting MSI tech support but the email bounced, so I've come to you guys.
Board is Micro-ATX form factor, based on a Green PCB, marked 'Micro-Star model 6506'; six mounting holes.
Serial number label on underside shows: 6853150100 and M65060111279503
Intel Pentium 4 CPU socket 478.
Serial number label by CPU socket shows 1800192029
Power connectors: CONN1, (20-pin) and JPW1 (4-pin)
Fan connectors CFAN1 and SFAN1;
Main peripheral connector slots are:
IDE x 2 (my guess is parallel ATA)
FDD x 1
AGP Graphics card slot
2 x PCI peripheral slots
1 x CNR modem slot
2 x DIMM 168-pin RAM slots
USB 2.0 on-board header.
Ports/peripheral connectors are:
PS2 Keyboard and mouse ports
2 x USB ports
D-9 COM1 and COM2, with parallel D-25 printer port stacked above;
D-15 Games/sound port above 3 x 3.5mm mini-jack sound connectors
Behind this stack are four connectors, three 4-pin labelled JPHN1 (green) JAUX1 (white) and JCD1 (black) and one 3-pin labelled JSP1 (black). All have latching sockets of the standard CD-Audio connector type.
There appears to be no on-board LAN or video/graphics.
BIOS chip is labelled 686 AMIBIOS (c)1999 BA44 7151
The board came with half-height Video card and LAN card, (with half-height metal mounting plates) suggesting a low-profile case though these cards are not easily identifiable. I doubt that would be much help anyway
Perusing the MSI support sites produces no useful information - Searching on the board number says it's not recognised. If anyone can at least point me in the direction of the 'marketing' name for this board so that I can identify essentials such as FSB bandwidth, RAM type and speed, AGP speed etc, I may be in with a fighting chance of making something useful out of it.
Of course, I acquired a P4 CPU with it, so I can at least improve on sis's Celeron, but that still won't get the floppy working....
Any suggestions gratefully received.

Thank you, Bosskiller;
I have to admit I hadn't considered an OEM possibility. Although my Czech isn't up to translating most of the extras on the site, I was able to retrieve (eventually - not the easiest sites to navigate) the equivalent information and download various drivers from the equivalent UK site.
All being well, I'll get to the rebuild tomorrow; any more problems and I'll repost here.
Thanks again

you are welcome, let we know if you need further help.

Identifying Which board I have & which drivers I need to download?

Hi, rebuilding my system. Lost the original cd driver disk that came with the MB.
Im having a really hard time identifying exactly which MB I have? (I've surfed through stickies FAQ, cant find the 'how to' on this if there is one)
Can someone tell me:
1. How to determine exactly which MB I have
2. How to determine what chipsets I have so I can download correct drivers. (VGA, AUDIO ETC>>> ETC>>>>
The LAN one was easy, got that one.
Many Many thanks in advance,
Garrett

sorry, yes I should have included this info.
P4 2.8
I have about 512MB RAM. 333MHZ
On board Audio, and video (however I installed a radeon agp card - using that instead. The board has on board Promise Raid controller however I don't use it. I only use 1 SATA HD.
Also has onboard 1394, LAN
Basically the works.
I'll go downstairs and look for the serial #. Ive looked for the model name before and could not find it.
Tx!

Identify logic board revision (without GPU issue)

Hello!
I am participant of this program https://www.apple.com/support/macbookpro-videoissues/
Few days ago I've got from apple authorized service repaired macbook pro late 2011 md318 a1286.
I have small reason to believe that its not new revision of logic board, just a board from other old macbook.
How can I identify that this is new version of logic board without gpu issue.
Thanks a lot.

It doesn't look like brand new. May Apple send refurbished logic board to Authorized Service?

Pls help Identify my board *******

I have an MSI MS-7125
The board is labeled VER 2.0
The website offers drivers for ver 1 and 3.
I ma lost.
Any Ideas?

Quote from: selkov on 20-February-07, 00:26:46
Thanks.
Interesting reading.
Any Idea wich driverset I should use?
chipset drivers: http://www.nvidia.com/object/nforce_nf4_win2k_6.86.html
audio drivers: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=14&PFid=23&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false
or you can pick drivers from here as well:

but DO NOT use MSI BIOS on your board.

Identify motion control board

I'd like to identify a motion control board and get the according manual. There's no product number on the board, except the following numbers and names:
PCIstep
Assy: 184903C-03
184905B-01
The device is named
PCI-Step-40X MotionValue
in the measurement&automation explorer.
Could someone identify this board?
Thanks in advance,
simon

Simon,
What exactly do you want to know about this board?
I know very little about this board.
What I can tell you is that it is a very old board which has been obsoleted and is no longer supported.
As a value motion board you may have some luck scavanging through the ftp site at ftp://ftp.ni.com/support/motion/Software/PC/ValueMotion/
You can find information on our current line of Motion product here.
Hope this helps at least a bit.

HT203254 Replacement logic board scheme

My 2007 Macbook Pro's logic board finally bit the dust a month or so ago. I know the replacement scheme officially finished last year but do you think Apple will still replace it?

mende1 wrote:
If they have the logic board your computer needs, they will replace your logic board, but it will be expensive. If they haven't got the logic board, they won't repair your computer because it's considered vintage.
My advice is to get another computer, but if your MacBook works correctly for your use, try to replace the logic board
I could be wrong but I don't think you read my question properly

Which model of the nuLogic FlexMotion interface boards is this?

Hello,
I am trying to replace the board shown in the attached pic, but I need the pin assignment diagram. The only information that I was able to get from the card is that it's a nuLogic Inc FlexMotion Interface Bd. Rev-A 1995. I can't find a specific model or part number. If any one can help identify the board, or point me in the direction of some nuLogic hardware manuals it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Michelle

Motherboard need identifying

Hi all
I have a Compaq Presario 1639UK PC,and want to
know who makes the motherboard.
From what I have found out so far points to it
being an MSI board.
It's supports AMD CPU and ATI chipset.
Can anyone give me some more information
about it please.
Thank you very much

It will be an MSI OEM board....
MSI doesn't support those themselves.
However, why are you trying to identify the board? Any particular reason?

Board won't power on IF atx 12v is plugged

I was trying to switch cpu fans. The pc booted and froze during POST. The pc wouldn't turn on afterwards.
MS-6777
The current situation is:
No device connected to the mobo, not even CPU.
I took the mobo out the pc-case to avoid any shortages.
I can manage to turn it on WITHOUT atx 12v. If I plug ATX 12V computer won't turn on, fans move a little bit but stop.
thanks for your time.

for other helpers sake, please use the 'marketing name' of your board instead of the MS-xxxx number to identify your board
in your case, MS-6777 is the 'K7N2GM-L'
Is your problem caused by your PSU?
Clear CMOS Guide
Make sure your heatsink is rated for your CPU, and is seated correctly:
and in order to POST correctly, your mobo needs at least a CPU and one stick of memory...

IPod 1st Generation Logic Board

Hi!
My 5GB iPod 1st Generation's logic board finally gave out. I'm having trouble locating a replacement board. Does anyone know where to get a new or used one other than iFixit (out of stock)? I need one just like iFixit's: Complete with the firewire port, and a not chipped headphone jack.
Thank you and I greatly appreciate it.
-Brian Skorski

Brian,
I may be in the same boat as you and I did Google 1st gen logic boards and didn't find much, except for WLM. They are pretty high. I thought maybe they would be cheaper for the really old ipods.
I wrote a post about my own 1st gen 10gb ipod on how my dome imac no longer reads my ipod but yet it charges the battery. I replaced the battery on mine after it died thinking it would fix everything but it didn't. ipod plays music just fine, but i can no longer load anymore new music to it. So I checked into replacement logic boards. If I do not purchase a new logic board, I'll probably just buy a new ipod (I want to anyway)

SB Live 5.1 Plat/XP SP2 driver/install issues..

I'm about to pull my hair out, maybe someone here can help me.....thanks in advance.
My SB Li've 5. Platinum card and drivers/programs had been working fine for years. Shortly after the SP2 install, I started getting corrupted driver messages upon startup (unable to identify which), until finally startup failed altogether. Thinking that my hard-dri've was failing too (bad sectors), I decided to upgrade and do a complete re-install of win98se, XP and all my programs. The re-install has been going great (albeit slow), until I got to the install of my SB card and programs. Here's the issues I've been having since:
-The Auto-Updater said I had the latest software & drivers before I installed anything from Creative
-The SB Li've original CD says it's not compatible with my OS (XP Home update version/SP2 updated). I tried to download the programs, but it said I needed previous versions when trying to install. (Later, I installed the CD anyway per a previous topic I saw on this board.....startup was ok.)
-Then I installed the Li'veDrvUni-pack found on the downloads page (28 Feb 03), and the other program updates. The remote control center & Recorder updated, the others say I have the latest version.
Now I'm back to the same startup-freeze-reboot cycle that I had on my old HD. Booting in safe mode isn't easy to do either.
Anybody have any suggestions to help me be able to use my computer and beloved Creative software without a win98-like experience? I'm at a loss at what to do......

I'm a little seasoned in this stuff. It seems to me that your problem is not related to the Creative card, driver, or software. For this kind of help it might be more helpful for you to try posting your problems and all system information on forums like help.com (CNET), WindowsBBS, the Microsoft forums, computing.net, etc, etc.
I could try to help troubleshoot you but I would be the only one helping you, whereas if you post to those other kinds of computer forums you'll get access to lots of folks who have varied experiences.
You've got some work ahead, but keep at it and you'll get things running again.

790GX-G65 bad flash

Hello,
I'm new here, and of course that's because I made a stupid mistake (or more than one).
I was informed that I could 'unlock' the fourth core on my AMD Phenom II (on http://us.msi.com/landing/amd_quadcore/amd_quadcore.html) so that seemed worth the risk of trying. I followed their instructions and when I rebooted the system didn't work anymore, except for some serious beeping.
I panicked a little but with the 'Clear CMOS' button I was able to get back into the BIOS, and got my system to work again.
Still wanting to try to 'unlock' the fourth core, I found an updated 1.5 BIOS with Support for the "CPU Core Control" function.
(on http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=bios&maincat_no=1&prod_no=1739)
I checked, and was running 1.4 at the time.
I downloaded 1.5 and updated it through M-flash. It seemed to work just fine until when rebooted back in the M-flash section of the BIOS, with no other options.
I now suspect this may have been booted from the USB-stick (or the dual boot thing, I am not sure). As the only thing I could do in the BIOS-menu was to update the BIOS again, I tried. This time it gave a warning that the version did not match something, but i don't remember what.
This could have been a smart point not to go ahead with that same flash, but I did. It again seemed to update the BIOS, but this time it would not boot at all anymore.
The computer remained on on a black screen. After a couple minutes I restarted the system to see if it would boot, but nope. Fans start running, lights come on, I hear the HD spinning up, but no reaction. I tried with and without the USB-stick, but no responses. Screen never seems to get any signal.
Guess I really screwed this BIOS up now, and hope there still is a way to fix this.
Still kinda new at this and have been reading a lot to find an answer.
I found stuff about hotswapping the BIOS (kinda hard since it is soldered on), using floppydisks (where can I still find one of those?), or using certain key-combinations on PS2-keyboards, but I finally got a bit scared and thought to ask you before screwing it up even more, if possible.
Hope you can help.
This is my hardware, if you need more info please let me know. I (was) run(ning) Windows 7 Ultimate RC.

Ok seeing how nobody knows the answer to your problems and which I know, nobody wants to be in a position where a bad flash has gone awry. I have to tell everyone here that MSI has screwed up bigtime on its latest bios revision for this mainboard! there seems to be a fatal error when flashing with the M-flash. MSI seriously needs to add a note to the new .150 bios and add DO NOT FLASH THIS BIOS WITH M-FLASH AS IT WILL BRICK YOUR MOTHERBOARD, USE HQ MSI USB TOOL INSTEAD well thats the sad truth about it all. I was in your same position and all of this could have been avoided with a little note attached to the new bios update. Now here´s the good news you can recover it with the help of some czech programmers and a little ingenuity. follow the trail and put it all together in order to learn how to flash the damaged bios through the spi diagnostic port, no need to desolder or anyother physical hack. heres a diagram of the boards diagnostic port, numbers are based on a parallel header. you will need 4 150 ohm resistors 1/4 watt, skip the 1uf cap in the schematic from here http://www.fccps.cz/download/adv/frr/spi/msi_spi.html as you do not need an external power source. VCC is unused in our case as the motherboard still boots standby power. Run CWSDPMI.EXE before SPIPGM.EXE
SChematic in order to build the cable
the following commands are used to identify, erase and finally flash the dead bios chip
SPIPGM.exe /i
SPIPGM /e
SPIPGM /p bios.120 (i used bios version 1.2 to be on the safe side)
MSI JSPI1 PIN HEADER ASSIGNMENT
Vcc |o o| Vcc <-- (both not used)
10 SO |o o| SI 9
7 CS# |o o| SCLK 8
GND |o o| GND 18
n.c. |o |
`---'
summary
1. Build an SPI Cable and install header pins on jspi1 port
2. Leave the computer connected in standby power and attach the cable to the jspi1 pinout and attach the parrallel end to another computer booting DOS (for example I built a custom freedos bootdisc with said programs)
3. run the spi server then run the spi software
4. detect, erase, flash
5turn pc on and learn from your mistakes
Optional flash the new 150 bios with the HQ MSI USB TOOL!

Warranty void due to multiple dents on edges?

currently my ipad display distorted as it still have 6 months warranty so i send in for repair.
but they said can't repair only replacement.
Now they said can't replace it as it has many dents on edges so warranty voided.
that not fair i just bought it for 6 month and the dents were already there for since first month i bought.
so the distortion wasn't caused by the dents.
Does anyone encounter such problem?

Some not insignificant physical trauma caused those dents, and Apple cannot just take your word that the dents didn't cause your problem. Especially since the duration of time between the denting and the problem doesn't mean a darn thing. I once dropped a MacBook Pro on the floor and, despite a big dent, it worked fine... For a month, then the logic board finally failed. Following physical trauma, problems can crop up at a later date, they don't have to occur right away.
