I think I killed my extra BP6.
I tryed to do a hot flash for a Gigabyte board, now neither of them do anything.
The Gigabyte board had a bad flash, I got the boot block and floppy search but it wouldn't do anything witha floppy in there........
The BP6 beeped once, long beeps, the ram is good, I tryed it in the kids BP6, and I took the BIOS chip from the good BP6 and it still did nothing.
I think thats what the long beep's are......

It is sitting on bubble wrap on the shelf I was gonna use for the Gigabyte board, no case.

One question I didnt think of in my excitement.
Why would it have to be standing up to work?????
It doesnt work laying down, I put it on the bubble pack they came in.....

What has to be standing up to work; the motherboard(s)?

Slagathor · Post by **Slagathor** » Fri Jan 17, 2003 7:21 pm

Ya, it's not in a case.
In order for it to do anything it has to be standing on end.....

you didnt try to lay it on a flat piece of antistatic baggie or anything (mat, foam)?

maybe somehow the bubbles were not antistatic?

Slagathor · Post by **Slagathor** » Fri Jan 17, 2003 10:47 pm

No I didnt try that, I will tomorrow, I got some big anti static bags from other mobo's I have purchased..........

No go with it laying down but it's up and running both 533 CPU's.........

I took a pic with my lousy web cam.....................
I really need a digital camera......heh

lol poor Slagathor

is there something on the backside of the board making it short or is the cooler on the cpu touching something when its laying flat?

Post by **Derek** » Sun Jan 19, 2003 11:03 pm

Maybe it has something to do with a loose/broken wire?

I havent seen anything on the bugger to make it not run when laying down........
I gave her a good once over, then did it a secend time.......
It would be nice to lay her down, then I wouldn't need that floppy to brace the vid card.........

Check the slots. May have a distorted contact in one that makes it only touch when gravity helps.
My fussiest BP6 system is now doing a lockup about once a week & doesn't reboot (locks on bios stage) unless I lay it in its side (mid-tower). After it's up again for a while, I can put it back upright until the next freeze. One capacitor bulging.

She's laying down now.........
But I also just got another Gigabyte mobo with blown i/o chip, so I snaggled the bios chip and have a perfectly good Gigabyte.....hehee

To bad it isn't an abit......

I thought anti-static-bags were conductive on the outside to discharge the static? So you shouldn´t put a board _on_ them, because that could cause a short-circuit. But are standard bubble bags anti-static at all? Always thought they´re so popular only because, you know... we all love to *pop* them bubbles, right? ;D
