Micronik Busboard woes again!

[lorddef]

Okey dokey I will not try that then  :-)

The PSU is an eyetech one, basically just a normal AT supply to which I have fitted a connector for the power.

I think I'm getting 9 short flashes and one long flash on the power LED when I try and boot the computer, then it reboots.

This defies all laws of electronics, but I solved my recent Micronik problems by rotating the internal power connector 360°. It could be a coincidence, but I went from random crashes and power failures every 30 minutes to 24/7 Rock Solid Stability.

Nope, this fits entirely into the "when in doubt, wiggle it about" paragdim for connectors of all kinds...
Probably one slightly ill fitting pin or dodgy bit of soldering is fixed by the change in stress directions etc...

If you still want to test that a1200 mobo, it looks like Nottingham to my place is only about 1:30 to 2:00 by car...
Still, that's according to AutorRoute 2000, so you might want to disregard that entirely :lol:

For car travelling.. you might check http://www.maporama.com/share/
it's online service that has amazingly accurate maps and driving
instructions.

Yeh it's just under 2 hours by car usually, depending on traffic

a good tip is:

REMOVE a1200 orginal psu ..power the busboard only with the power connectors (AT) , you supply the power trough the busboard + a1200 with 1 solution.

also is your mikronik busboard the one with memory slots on ?  or is it the first model?

a tip there is ... the jumpers!  , do you have the manual ? ...i might have mine still..but i gave my board away and went mediator.

cheers

Yes its powered through the busboard only atm. And no; the power connector on the Micronic busboards is not AT!

Nope it's not the one with memory slots, it's a rev5.44 / 5.43, no jumpers
