Folks, I've got a motherboard from an eMachines eTower 300k, it's a TriGem manufactured Delhi III model MoBo, and I've been trying to get info on jumper and/or dip switch settings and both manufacturers are useless!!! eMachines, however, did tell me that jumper settings are supposed to be printed on the inside of the case. So, does anyone have an eTower 300k (or at least the case) and could possibly let me know what the inside of your case says as far as jumper and/or dip switch settings. I would really appreciate it! I've got my eye on a new MoBo to replace this but finances dictate that I wait for awhile - quite a while!!! Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks in advance folks!

It may be that they meant that the settings are printed on the motherboard itself, which is where they are usually. Get a magnifying glass if you need it and look carefully at the board in a good light. You should find small tables with the jumper settings indicated. The tables will not necessarily be near the jumpers or dipswitches themselves.

Here are some pics of another board (NOT your Emachine's) to show what I mean:

A couple of the pictures show clearly two tables that correspond to the set of 4 dipswitches in one of the blue blocks on that board.

I wouldn't expect miracles from an Emachines mobo.

Ulysses, guess it looks like I'll be getting a magnifying glass. What I'd really prefer to do, though, is buy the new MoBo to replace this one! Thanks! Anyone else out there seen the markings inside the case I'm talking about?
