dfi nf2 lanparty board won't turn on !!??!??!?

[Soulkeeper]

i think i left the clear cmos jumper on too long and now the system won't turn on
anyone know how i might fix this (besides taking the board back) ???

Long shot but did you try a different jumper?

 

[Soulkeeper]

yeah i did
no luck

Hi Soul,

completely remove the ATX block from the board (with the power completely off to the PSU), swap the CMOS jumpers again, then plug in power and turn it back on.

if this does not resolve the issue, please let me know!

Thanks,

Travis

Perhaps something else is wrong...

See, some motherboards, specially OEM type (ECS/Pc-Chips) come with their BIOS jumper on reset mode, and they are shiped like that, so they must stay in that state for a bit longer than 3 weeks, my guess... and have no issues whatsoever.

I'd suggest you check other aspects.

well i got sick of that broken paper weight so i took it back and got an asus a7n8x 2.0 delux and it is perfect
great board

Has anyone else had a problem similar to soulkeeper with the DFI NF2 LanParty?

I'm dealing with a very similar problem with my LP NFII. It has never posted, and after a few attempts at clearing the CMOS, all four LEDs now come on when I hit the power and stay on with no POST. I'm really hoping I can avoid the cost and aggrivation of sending the whole GIANT pack of stuff back to newegg for an RMO.

:disgust:

Gameshow, i just PM'd you. A lot of times a replacement BIOS chip will solve the problem and is definitely easier than sending the entire board back =)

Let me know if you have resolved this issue or still need assistance. Thanks!

Guys, try this. (RE: DFI No Post) Don't" just" unplug the ATX. Unplug power to PSU, Take CMOS battery out, pull your ram out, pull out your video card, now unhook ATX connector. Move cmos jumper to clear for 5 minutes. Now move FSB jumper to 100 (fail safe). Put all components back in. As you boot up hit insert key, enter bios with delete key right after insert key. Set bios manually to optimized defaults. Boot up - allow post. Check win for 100 Mhz post (FSB). Boot back down, clear cmos with only ATX unplugged this time (power to PSU and wall unplugged too). Move fsb jumper to Auto detect (or manually to 166 if running a 166 fsb processor, or 200 if running a 200 fsb processor. Done. Maybe it will work maybe not. But it's better than sending the board back. Try a new CMOS battery too from radio shack - or the camera section of Wal Mart.
