But what about CPU Core stepping ! Is it compatible ?
Not enough information - the motherboard has to be compatible, not the core stepping.
Have you figured out how to get 8x multiplier yet? That's your biggest problem.
Have you found any other laptops containing this motherboard? What's the biggest processor that went in it?
I wrote to asus, but they told my: go to asus service ;)Quote:

I didn't find any service manual for Asus or for Advent (the simular model with L7300 motheboard)
The biggest CPU what I Found:
ASUS L7300, Intel Celeron/Pentium III 650-800 Mhz
In russian:
http://www.price.od.ua/catalog.phtml...id_p=1&id_c=17
I found service manual for Compal NoteBook N20U
Intel P III Mobile Coppermine CPU 500MHz, Celeon 450/500MHz.
Intel µPGA2 package
FW82371(PIIX4M) for PCI IDE controller & USB interface.
FW82443 BX Support 100MHz Front side Bus.
Very closer (to my ASUS) but again not DIP switches for CPU.
All you can do is try it...
Success !
Pentium III (SL4GT) 800Mhz - worked (without any sw modification).
But new Toshiba DVD-ROM SD-C2202 didn't work :-( (I think this is laptop firmware problem)
I found new bios firmware but I'm afraid update it ;) (for desktop computer I have made it).
What you think about bios update for laptop ? Is it hard to restore it if error will ocur after laptop restart ?
Thank you

I updated bios (v.12) ! But DVD(I tested on dvd-rom and dvd-ram) still hasn't detected :-(
Heya klep. What OS are you using?
Have you tried the longshot 'fix' of cleaning the upper/lower filters?
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060
Failing that, how about ASPI layer?
http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/aspisetup.cfm
2 CCT
without any OS , didn't detect in bios
And this is an IDE dvd with jumper Master hooked to an 80 wire-40 pin cable on the END connector?
yes, I tested with toshiba sd-c2202 and toshiba ts-l632 (40pin connector).
No any jumpers for master/slave ! I think he looks CS.
May be new bios didn't update DMI information ;) I don't know (I made all by instruction from asus)
Apparently the toshiba sd-c2202 can be set in firmware either master or slave - try the slave connection.
Have you checked dma/pio settings in Bios?
My notebook didn't see it, and I can't set any settings in bios (or change firmware).
Just out of interest, have you tried the dvd on both IDE connectors (primary and secondary)?
No ! I can't ;) because i have only one IDE connection for CD and another for HDD (I can't connect to it CD because it's hided in hdd cady).
Regards.
p.s
I solve connect DVD as external drive through USB.
Well then, it sounds like the cd/dvd connnections or ports are disfunctional. Will the USB connection boot the install disk?
