e139761 pin settings

[erik879]

I have a motherboard that I took out of a dell computer. The computer would no longer power on, so I replaced the power supply to no avail. The next step is to put the board into a different case, but the dell case had a specially designed plug to connect the lights and buttons on the case to the board, and of course most cases have 4 or 5 seperate cables to power the lights and buttons. Long story short, I can not find the manual for this board anywhere. Does anybody have one or know where I can find it?

Welcome to Windrivers erik

I may be the bringer of bad tidings.....

Dell used proprietary power supplies on some of their models. If you changed it with a standard one, the motherboard is now dead. The dell psu's do not look any different from a standard one, just that the pins in the atx connector were different.

As for the case connector block - is there anything written on the motherboard on the case connector pins?

Do you know the model of dell that the motherboard came from?

Can I butt in here? I have the same problem as Erik, exactly. I replaced the Gateway PS and case with generic ATX unit.

My board came from a Gateway GP7-450, and it's a slot 1 variety. The case connector block is marked clearly but it has three pins in the "Power on/off" area, 1-2-3 -- I've tried 1-2 and 2-3 but nogo. The connector won't fit across 1-3.

The psu fan runs but there's no activity from the motherboard. 5v and 12v power lines seem OK, at the disk drive connectors anyway.

Any advice will be appreciated.

What serial number is this gateway - cannot find any good info for it.

The label on the rear of the case says the following:

*************************
Gateway 2000 Inc
Model GP7-450 As TAB III SYS KER
LP Mini Tower
Serial No. (Bar Code here)
00872572
Mfg Date 21/06/1999
Assembled in Malaysia

The machine was rescued out of the trash bin at work by my enterprising grandson, who saw it as a good one for his young sister. It was complete except for power supply when it came to me.

My problem is similar, but i took the power supply that the dell case had as well. motherboard has a dell tag on it and e139761. i need to get the pin settings and possibly a manual for said motherboard does any body have any Ideas on this?

If you go to this site: http://tinyurl.com/lup8t

you will note that the Intel version is a 440BX and that there is a Dell Precision 410 with a 440BX chipset.

I would suspect then you could go to the dell site and look at the manuals available and see if it looks like yours.

edit: other Dell boards use the same - the idea was for you to look through the Dell site and determine what is what.

Thanks for the help. reason i asked for help is because i have two jobs and am attempting to get my computer fixed and having to use the local library for my research thanks for the pointers

update:
after taking a closer look at said mb i noticed that the chipset wasn't a 440bx, but a 440LX if any one can help let me know

FOUND IT:
mobo is a dimension XPS Dxxx now all i nee is the settings for the connector the dell website just tells me that the front connector goes there not how its set up

also the specs say that it will only run a 233-333 processor. can i put a 450 in it and get away with a slower speed?

Service manual for the Precisioon 410 shoeing pins.

http://www.cs.unc.edu/~jeffay/dirt/F...viceManual.pdf

Cut and paste tha above to IE address bar - it is obviously possible to find Dell Service manuals on line BUT they don't seem to want to let you copy the url for some reason.

Anyway, when it wouldn't ley me copy it, I went to the address line right side, arrowed back, added a single quote, arrowed across, added another single quote, THEN I could copy and paste.

Go figure.

i got the power and leds working, I think, but now i don't have any video. wheh i turn it on it dosn't even give me a single beep unless i have the bios Jumper in the RCVRY Position(according to the board) jumper settings are:

1-2 - normal
2-3 - Config
off - RCVRY

in RCVRY mode the mobo attempts to load a new BIOS from Diskette,
but when after it reads the disk(i Still have no picture durring this)
it gives me a low pitched single beep that repeats until i turn off the system.
power works like it should in the other positions(4-sec hold to turn off)

the only thing that make sense is that it dosn't like my 450 p3

link to user manual is here

i've been all around here and the only it says about the power and led connector is here

if any one has any opinions or helpful suggestions pls let me know

I don't know if you folks are still interested after several months... but I just got a similar mobo hand-me-down, and searching E139761 didn't get me anywhere. But the Intel support site recognized a number from the solder (back) side of the board.

Mine is "Intel Type: SE440BX2", right next to the FCC logo, directly opposite the processor's heatsink. Result = PDF product spec (http://www.intel.com/support/motherb...cs-013640.htm).

Hopefully, using your Intel Type # will get the info you're after.

PS- I didn't look up the FSB on a P3-450, but the max FSB on this mobo is 100 MHz.

This thread may have already died.

P3 450 is the first katmai. S spec's are at below website.450 is a 100MHZ.

I ran across this one too... and its really helped me, I'm tearing apart my daughters old computer, figure if I ruin it, no harm no foul, just trying to teach myself about them, as I'd like to eventually build my own.

I don't even know where to start, but thought I'd just say thanks in advance for all the info I know is here!

[jwisenor]

Does anyone know where I can get a block diagram for my motherboard? I think having something show me might be a good start
