DL580 No video possible memory board prob.
I have a Compaq DL580 and it was seeming to work ok when i first first plugged it in after getting it home. It booted and i got video and it errored about the drive controller... I didnt have all of the drive slots populated at the time so that could have been the reason, im not sure if it is one of the types that has to have them all there to work properly... So after i checked it that far i moved it upstairs. I pulled the memory board and looked at it, then i put it back in and powered it up. No video now. I thought that it was the periph. card, so i removed the cmos, that didnt fix it, so i removed the whole bios chip for a bit and put it back in, still no fix. I left it alone for a while. Today i was determined to get it working, I pulled out everything and closely examined it. I noticed on the memory board that one of the ceramic box resistors was broke off on one side. I tried to place it back and hope the connection restored, but i still didnt get any video. Since the vid went out it will power up and everything, with no errors about ram or anything, the periph card error code led reads 00, which is normal operation. It seems to boot just fine and go through and check all the drives, but i never get any video... When i bought the server they said it had intermitent problems, so i dont know if the mem board was already messed up or not... -- Aeridyne ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aeridyne's Profile: http://www.futurehardware.in/member.php?userid=664 View this thread: http://www.futurehardware.in/showthread.php?t=567124 Future Hardware - http://www.futurehardware.in |
