Foxconn A9DA-S post code list

[bryanW1995]

Does anybody know where to find this? You would think that foxconn would have some info on this. Sadly, you would be wrong. maybe google? nada. owner's manual? zilch. Love the concept of having post codes in led on mobo, but foxconn absolutely f***ed it up by not actually, you know, listing the post codes anywhere at all.

btw, post code is SP, trying to boot with 1055t. before anybody asks, tried with 2 different psus (ea 650 and xfx 850w). ram code appears to be 00, got that when accidentally tried to boot with no ram. tried each ram stick in each of the dimm1, dimm2, dimm3, and dimm4 with same SP post code, then tried different ram with same code.

I suspect that, even though 1055t is listed as supported and everything I read said that it would work fine with this cpu, I will have to flash the bios. unfortunately, I don't have any other amd cpus so can't test that theory.

ok, I have the pdf if anybody needs it.

also, they are mailing me a bios chip. good customer service imho.

ive had hit or miss service from foxconn. I have a A7DA-S in my HTPC and when i had it in my main rig i wanted to know if a BIOS had been released to support the 6 cores, they told me no and it was impossible the board didnt support the dual power planes the new 6 cores needed.

Then out of nowhere two months later i get a e-mail with a bios attached and one line of text saying this new bios supports 6 cores, so they obviously lied to me in the first response. I then replied and asked for a full CPU support list for the new bios(as i wanted to put a PH II 555 or Athlon II 635 in the htpc and never recieved a response)

And the bios they sent me has not been posted on there website yet and its now been over 3 months, so i guess everyone but me is screwed for 6 core and new AM3 CPU support.

Im not entirely sure if thats good service or not, i got what i wanted but was also lied to, and the bios never made it to there website to help others.

I admit I was a bit peeved when I ordered that mobo because even though everything said that it supported 6 core I hadn't actually seen anybody using one straight out of the box with one. Just as much my fault for not doing research. I'm posting this with the new rig now.

Overall I thought that their service was great, I had a response within a few hours, they told me exactly what I asked for, then they followed up to ensure that everything was ok.

of course, I also noticed that there are absolutely zero, none, zilch overclocking options in bios. that was definitely my fault, so I rma-refunded it and have an 890fx mobo on the way.

So do you still have those post codes?
