tasr Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 Remove the battery and clear the CMOS, if posts load defaults.  If that doesn’t work replace battery and do a long clear. This is the link for long clear and follow it exactly.  Are all the power connectors plugged in? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
portugesepirate Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 thanks tasr.....i have no manual......and only see two of those power connections......do you think the chances are good that it will work Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tasr Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 Long CMOS clear is worth a shot. Â I have the same board the two power connectors are a 20 pin main and a 4 pin. Â When you get a chance remove the CPU a inspect the socket. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinnie Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 man you are portuguese?add me in msn if you want to talk about this [email protected] first thing,this boards rock,and very hard 2nd a lot of this boards, "eat" it's bios,so maybe it is the reason you have 4 leds open...to solve this you should do a long and good clear cmos as suggested up there...or if it that doesn't solve your problem,you must reflash your bios chip...the board will work,at least I have 2 of this boards here,and one day both got their bios corrupted (I have 1 spare chip,and it "eat" that spare bios too) and what I did was picking up a friend's epox nforce2 mobo and flash my chips there...and that I called hotflashing.. you are not stupid,simply you are new to the world of dfis..(i think) in a month or two after posting and reading things here you will know a lot...but a lot more...

portugesepirate Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 does the bios chip just pop out....iff it does where can i get one...i have too much money and time in this thing not to work.....yes i am a proud portuguese american....i really want this board that is why i spent the crazy money that i did....skinnie and tasr thank you for all youur ti3me.....i have had thhe battery out the board all day...i will try it tommorrow Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinnie Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 the chips normally don't went pop..the bios just got "corrupted" and a "reflash" of the bios solves it...there was a post here in the street explaining how to hotflash your bios in another nf2 board,of course if you don't have anyone with an nf2 board,you may buy a chip here from tmods and then you reflash yours,and you stay with 2 chips,wich sometimes my salvation...
