Solaris 10 - Help replacing Motherboard

I have been running Solaris 10 for a number of months on a pieced together PC. Recently the motherboard died (ECS Nforce6M-A V:2.0). Unfortunately, I was not the one to set all this up, and have been desperately looking for help to get this system up and running again. I purchased an Asus M3A76-CM to replace it with. I wasn't able to find another ECS board of the same model.
The issue is that it seems (and I've been told) that Solaris doesn't like the fact I changed the motherboard on it. During the boot up process, I get into the Grub selection menu (the two options are: Solaris Express Developer Edition 9/07 snv_70b x86, and Solaris failsafe). If I selected the first option, it displays the first 3 lines (which I can't seem to catch) and immediately reboots. I can enter the failsafe mode just fine however.
Can someone direct me to a link (or help directly) as to what I must do to get this up and running? I have been and will continue to search for an answer on my own, but I'm racing the clock as is :(
Thanks for any help (and I hope this is the right section for this).

We are facing very similar (the same?) problem.
Does anyone have a solution to this?

Need help, replaced motherboard in my computer.

Im running windows vista home premium.
I recently got a new hard drive and I just synced my ipod and it erased every song that I have bought from itunes thinking that I am on a different computer.
How can I fix this?

You should have deauthorized it before you replaced the mother board and authorized it after you replaced it. No worries though.
Play one of the songs in iTunes.
This will authorize the computer. The songs should then load okay.

Help - lost motherboard, auto save saved older script, newer script actually with older date.

Adobe story team:
I had a best script to date, on an older hard drive and the motherboard failed on my HP tower. The sony laptop has a more recent dated script, but not the one I want. How do I replace an "older" date script, one that I want for a newer script. I don't want the newer script, I want the older one that is on a "pulled" hard drive again, from a tower that failed.
Do I save the older file on an offline, using a new ID, new password, forever changed or what can I do?
I need a fairly quick response, timing is critical. HP tower is the problem.
drgm
thanks

You have it half right. the issue is the HP tower I had failed. The mother board failed, I pulled the hard drive which is windows 7, I have a sony laptop which is in 32 bit vista, I am not sure if the different versions will be an issue. can i take a file off the pulled hard drive and put it somewhere in a directory even with the different windows vista vs windows 7 if so which file should i copy on the pulled hard drive and where do i put it on the laptop, directory plus I will go back on online save it in the clouds and reformat the laptop and go to windows 7 then go back to adobe story and go from there. thank you for your quick attention in this matter.
Respectfully,
drgm

Hi
I am not sure if I understand your problem correctly, but as far as I can make out you had been working on a script and then it got autosaved and now you wish to go back to the "older" script.
In order to do so you may visit your document's history through the View->History option. There you will see older versions of your document (if you had not turned off autoversioning). You may then open an older version of the document from the panel by double clicking on it. Once on an older version you will get to see the "Make Latest" option. Clicking on that will make the "older" state of your document your "current" state and then you may proceed to edit the document as usual.
I hope this is helpful to your situation. In case you face any issues in following the mentioned steps do let us know.
Thanks

X220 How to user replace Motherboard?

So my X220's motherboard is apparently non-repairable and my warranty is out. I'd like to get a replacement motherboard from ebay, as its cheaper than a new laptop, and the x220 is less than two years old.
The only motherboards available are i5 2520m 2.5ghz models, my original motherboard was a 2.4ghz 2430m I believe. Is it still possible to user replace it? I'm not sure since its a different cpu, and I have heard of people have invalid UUID problems. I am wondering if I can just swap motherboards and use the same HDD and OS? I dont have a setup utility or original windows disk.
Thanks.

Replacing Motherboard on HP Media Center PC running Windows Vista Home Premium (32-bit)

Running OEM version of Windows Vista Home Premium (32-bit) on an HP Pavilion Media Center m8226x Desktop PC. Replacing motherboard ASUS M2N68-LA Motherboard 6150SE HP Narra2-GL8E with an MCP61PM-HM (Nettle2) motherboard due to failure. Both boards have same chipset and form factor. Can I just replace board without reinstalling windows? Do I need to install new drivers? I don't have an install CD or install key, would Microsoft provide a key if needed? Is there a link I can reference for MB replacement/ install?
Thanks for you assistance!

This question was solved.

The OEM license is tied to the original motherboard version, ie M2N68-LA. You lose the OEM "rights" when you changed the board.

Same pc, replacement motherboard installed, won't accept activation

Hi all,
I have adobe installed on my main desktop and a laptop. The desktop recently went for repair and came back with a replacement motherboard (exactly same make/model etc) but now adobe won't accept the activation. I had assumed that after roughly 2 weeks the 'old' activation would stop, like when a hard drive dies. This doesn't appear to be the case however. So I'm left with the same pc but Adobe thinking I have 3 different installations. What to do? Many thanks

Activations cannot just "stop", because the server handling them doesn't know anything about your dead system. Call support by phone and they'll sort it out.

Replacement Motherboard for Aspire M3985-UR20P in the US

Need a replacement motherboard for an Aspire M3985-UR20P. Any ideas? Couldn't find any motherboards in the Acer Store. Thank You

Hello, You'll find below the motherboard of your desktop:MB.SJQ0P.001MAIN BD.B75.W/O.1394.LF If you use Windows preinstalled, you have to buy this one from your Acer store.You can request a quote and place an order from your Acer store by tchat or by phone.You'll need the serial number of your desktop. Microsoft OEM:"Generally, an end user can upgrade or replace all of the hardware components on a computer—except the motherboard—and still retain the license for the original Microsoft OEM operating system software. If the motherboard is upgraded or replaced for reasons other than a defect, then a new computer has been created. Microsoft OEM operating system software cannot be transferred to the new computer, and the license of new operating system software is required. If the motherboard is replaced because it is defective, you do not need to acquire a new operating system license for the PC as long as the replacement motherboard is the same make/model or the same manufacturer's replacement/equivalent, as defined by the manufacturer's warranty."

Replacement Motherboard for Dual 1ghz MDD G4

My original motherboard for my G4 is toast.
What replacement Motherboards are compatible with my dual 1ghz
mdd G4?
The white sticker on board reads: 630T3984/630-4256
Thanks
Eric

Ouch, I was hoping it wouldn't be one of those.
I think it has to be the same. My info comes from an Apple document discussing CPU upgrades.
Wait ... quoted -
Before Replacing the Processor
Important:
Apple has determined a compatibility issue between the processor and certain
fabrication levels of the logic board on some Power Mac Server G4 (Mirrored Drive Doors)
and Power Mac G4 (Mirrored Drive Doors) products. Before ordering a replacement
processor for those models, follow these steps:
1. Open the computer and check the fabrication number that is printed on the logic
board. The fabrication number is easily visible at the edge of the board near PCI card
slot 5.
2. If the logic board fabrication number is 820-1308, 820-1440, or 820-1445, do
not
order the processor module. Instead, you must replace both the logic board and the
processor by ordering the combined module: Module Set, Logic and Processor (Apple
part number 661-3654).
Replacement Warning:
When ordering this combined module set, a returned logic
board must match one of the three fabrication numbers (820-1308, 820-1440, or 820-
1445). If the logic board does not match one of these fabrication numbers, it will be
rejected.
3. If the logic board fabrication number is any other number (
not
820-1308, 820-1440, or
820-1445), order only the multiprocessor module (Apple part number 661-2730).
So make of it what you will. If your email address is in your profile, I'll email the whole document - it's a bible for MDD owners - shows you how to remove and replace everything, with photos. It's only 3.3MB.

Dv6636nr replacement motherboard now microphone not recording sound

hi
i am having a problem with my machine. after a recent replacement motherboard was fitted i now no longr have microphone functionality. skype will not complete the test call successfullly and trying to set up speech recognition the red and yellow bars dont even move.i think that in the microphone section however if you tap the system it does recognize there, there are a couple of shooting green bars, this is all i can get!!
i have been trying to solve the problem for hours now, downloaded the drivers/uninstalled. tried a previous version but it just kept reupdating. also got the UAA driver but still nothing.
i have sound on everything else and my cam works.
any ideas?
thank youu!!!!

Good idea Joe.
I went to my system preferences (I'm running Mavericks) and checked.
My internal microphone shows as 'built-in'
My line in shows as 'audio line-in port'
I moved up the input volume a little to be safe
Output volume on full, but there was never any problem playing tracks previously recorded.
I still haven't reinstalled Garage Band, as I wanted to get my podcast done before the end of the month. I exported the cast as it was to an external hard drive, along with small mp3's I had been about to add in (like my jingle) then went to another computer in the house, and recreated the podcast from those mp3's. I was able to add in the introductory audio recording on that other computer and complete my podcast.
I transferred the newly recreated podcast back to my normal laptop (where the problem occurs), checked and published my podcast. I double checks the newly recreated cast (the one I built up on the other machine from mp3's) to see if I could record now - since I recorded within that particular project on the other machine. I *still was not able to record* on my laptop.
I still cannot create another new project that allows me to audio record. My preferences for the garage band app and op sys on my laptop, all appear to be set for sound.
I guess I will now break down and reinstall garage band. I think I've reset something in the application that an update doesn't reset.
Thanks for your ideas.

Replacement motherboard for P6813W

I haven't been able to find an original replacement motherboard for my P6813W desktop.
I see a lot of aftermarket boards for sale. I want something that is compairable to my original since it worked well for me.
I need one that can support an AMD FX-4130 3.8Ghz proccesor and a MSI ATI Radion HD6450 video card.
Any suggestions for one that is $150 or less?

The Win 7 OS your using is tattoo'ed with the original motherboard. It will only activate with the same board and version. Recently my m8100e CTO motherboard (Narra3) became unsteady. The HP s5120y has the Narra5. I tried swapping out the hard drive to the working system, but it did not activate, but did allow some latitude (3 days) to activate. As I was busy with another project, I have not continued with the Narra5.

Help need help with drivers etc...had to replace motherboard in my m9517c

I had to replace my motherboard in my M9517C and as a result had to reload windows. Now the computer does not know it is an HP computer so I cant load any of the software for the DVD drive, media smart etc. The motherboard was not available anymore so I didnt have a choice but to get an Asus motherboard that was not from HP. How can I get around this issue or can I?

Hi,
As MediaSmart and other HP software checks the bios for a tattoo ( which you won't have on the bios chip of your new Motherboard ) before it will install, there is probably no way to get around this.
Best wishes and a happy new year,
DP-K
