"Speaker For PC Interanal BIOS Computer Motherboard Mini Onboard Case Buzzer
Board Beep Alarm NEW." https://www.newegg.com/p/pl?d=Speake...ep+Alarm+NE W. This is a cheap option that can be added post hoc. Is it worth it? Maybe. |

This is a cheap option that can be added post hoc. Is it worth it? Maybe. Oh ****. Restored POWER LED connectors+/- to original position. Now POWER LED does not work. I thought these were protected by some 'magic' circuit. Is cheap option above worth it, pre hoc? I guess. |

I thought these were protected by some 'magic' circuit. Is cheap option above worth it, pre hoc? I guess. Indicator LEDs have a 5V Peak Inverse Volts rating. Indicator LEDs are red,yellow,green and T13/4 size. And $0.20 a piece, leaves some profit for the seller (even though back in the day, RadioShack might want $3.00). https://www.superbrightleds.com/more...ngle/285/1212/ Continuous Forward Current 30 mA Reverse Voltage 5V === perfect for computer cases :-) There are some LEDs, particularly power LEDs that'll knock an eyeball out, that those are *not* rated for reversal. If you reverse them, sometimes they reward you later with reduced light output, or they blow out completely. And some power LEDs, you can see an element next to the substrate with the LED, and that appears to be a reverse polarity and/or ESD protector. Summary: 1) When around PC cases and computer motherboards, the usage of LEDs here is "carefree". No worries that I've ever seen, due to the 5V PIV rating of these LED types. The motherboard always has a series resistor, so the computer case side doesn't need a resistor to be present. Sometimes the wire bond fails, and this can be caused by stress on a leg, pulling on the anvil and maybe the wire bond wasn't properly formed. A little chip of GaAs material is mounted on an anvil, and a wire bond to the surface provides the second connection to the LED. 2) When dealing with $20 LEDs from Newark, I'm a lot more careful. I check check and recheck the polarity. Examples of running power LEDs off a constant current source. Sometimes the "star" hexagonal substrate, has polarity markings. You buy them mounted this way, to avoid damaging them by applying too much soldering iron heat directly to the LED. Two of these light my kitchen right now :-) You point them at the ceiling for "bounce" lighting. http://lednique.com/wp/wp-content/up...wer-supply.png https://cdn.instructables.com/ORIG/F...O9FDYPTCX6.jpg Paul |

I can disconnect Fans. Q9650 CPU stays. I have confirmed isolation between frame ground and MOBO. SATA power cables are remove. Ditto 500 MB DDR2-533 RAM module. Still Beep code "Continuous short beeps: Power error". Either I need an ~2008 PSU or advice on 5V USB power pack. Don't want to burn more circuits. The USB power pack is 12Wh. Output is 2.4 A Max. 5V x 2.4A = 12W. not at all comparable to 400W. Maybe lab power would work? I don't think I have any need or desire to test USB power pack. From manual "(Note 5) Dynamic Energy Saver Meter will automatically reset when the total power saving reaches 99999999 Watts." Even engineers get confused with units. Watts is power watt-hour is Energy .. This was reset and should be zero. The manual is not helpful with PSU. Maybe should swap out for dumb PSU? |

This is not with all the PCI and PCIe slots loaded with goodies: https://www.anandtech.com/show/2717/11 Idle: 138 or 142 Watts. Load: 236 or 242 Watts. Maybe a 400W PSU is a good choice for a fully occupied MOBO? |

I made some progress in hypotheses. Here is my latest experiment. "From my last experiment, I tied removing 12V and using my installed PSU. Same result as last. Fans spin, LEDs glow, no boot recycle, no beep codes. 12V = beep codes." No PCI VGA boot to BIOS screen. 500MB DDR2-533 installed. WTF? My friend Jerry interpreted manual different he says default PCI VGA is first. I say different. Maybe I should move format jumper on PCI VGA graphics card? |
