U4iK Posted July 27, 2005 Posted July 27, 2005 Hi everyone I have just received a Lanparty Ultra II B motherboard this is for my second system. I unpacked it and plugged in the components located in my signature below and tried to boot up. The sytem powers up and i get the red led at the bootom of the board for power and the red led next to the memory. I get no post screen up and the diagnostic leds sit with a constant 1 and 2 ON. Can anyone expand on the manuals explanation of of leds 1 and 2 ON. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loggan26 Posted July 27, 2005 Posted July 27, 2005 Both leds on is normal boot, you need to try all the usual tricks to try and get post... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
U4iK Posted July 27, 2005 Posted July 27, 2005 I remembered i had an athlon 1100 sitting in a box so decided to plug that in and see what happened. System starts up no post screen and all four diagnostic leds are ON. I have chucked it for tonight and left the battery out and the cmos clear jumper on to clear will try tomorrow but am starting to go crazy working on this :drool: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
U4iK Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 No joy with the Athlon 1100 this morning. So i placed back in the Athlon XP - M 1600 to see what would happen. It is now back to starting up and the diagnostic leds jumping to 1 and 2 ON with no post screen. Does anyone have any other suggestions Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinobi Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 Humour me & Try removing the J8 jumper thats near the North Bridge & CPU Socket, then try & boot... EDIT: There are a few different 1600 XP-M's and some are 100mhz FSB CPU's(14 x 100mhz = 1400mhz clock speed) and so to run you might need to remove the 100mhz J8 Jumper Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
U4iK Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 Thanks for the reply Shinobi Tried the J8 jumper trick and same as before leds 1 and 2 ON Thanks for the link on the processors I managed to dig out the info I had previously found out about the processor and I have the AMD Athlon XP-M Model Mainstream, 45W. This gives me a 133 FSB. Do these two leds point to somewhere? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinobi Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 Yes they do. But i don't have a LanParty B(so no Diagnostic LED's) and so i'm not really all that familiar with them. I'll just try and check out the Online Manual... Right, so its getting stuck on 1 & 2 LED's? Initialising the DRam Controller. What Ram are you using(just noticed, Corsair 3200LL, what Rev?)? If your using 2 sticks have you tried just 1? Have you tested them both out individually? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
U4iK Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 I just nicked out and purchased a cheap stick of ddr pc2100. Have tried this in all three slots and still get no post screen and diagnostic leds showing leds 1 and 2 ON Do you need to flash the original bios to support mobile athlons or are they dare I say it plug and play.

Shinobi Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 No it should post fine still. And with it being a new board i imagine it came with one of the later bios' anyway, that contain the microcodes and enhanced support for mobile processors. Have you tried unplugging everything but 1x stick of ram, video card & CPU? Then setting the Cmos to clear for at least 10 minutes with the battery removed and PSU unplugged from the board. Then replace the Cmos jumper & battery, plug the PSU back in and see if it boots? Other things i can suggest are make sure there are no unused motherboard mounts in your case shorting out the mobo underneath. Also, have you got the +12v 4 Pin Connector plugged into the board? It should still post without it really but its better to use it... Btw, what Heatsink are you using? I've heard certain board/bolt hole mounting heatsinks have caused ppl problems by crushing the chips underneath the CPU Socket on the backside of the board... You'd probably just get stuck on 4 LEDs in that case though i imagine... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loggan26 Posted July 29, 2005 Posted July 29, 2005 Right, so its getting stuck on 1 & 2 LED's? Initialising the DRam Controller. Um according to that pic you posted Shin on the LPB diagnostics his prob is Led's 1 & 2 are ON = Initializing the Onboard Super I/O Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinobi Posted July 29, 2005 Posted July 29, 2005 Damn, i was looking at it the wrong way round You'd expect 1 & 2 to be listed first wouldn't you... So it could be down to his Floppy, Mouse, Keyboard etc? Just running bare minimum setup should help to isolate the issue then.

loggan26 Posted July 29, 2005 Posted July 29, 2005 Yeah it looks like he has a prob with one of his input devices. I would be pulling all that kind of stuff and replacing it with 2nd test stuffs. But then again what saddo would keep spare mice, keyboards and Floppys etc lying around,,,,,,,ME LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
