Site to ID Motherboards?

[Thira28]

Is there a site to identify old motherboards. I have a motherboard with a PII 300 processor. I cannot figure out how to connect the LED and Power switch. etc. The motherboard has an intel chip and is labeled F019 Rev2.1. There is a Winbond atmel chip on the board. I need to get the small group of HDD LED, Pwr sw etc plugged into the motherboard.
Thanks

You can try shorting two of the pins beside each other on the pins block till the power supply comes on. If you can get so far as seeing the BIOS number when it boots up you can get it identified here, Motherboards.org
If you can find a part number on the board itself you might get it identified there too.

Look closely for a model # all over the mobo, particularly the edges on both sides.

Enter any likely looking numbers into Google.

On the motherboard itself, there is "F109" Rev2.1. I can get the system to boot by plugging in the powercord onto the back of the case. But the power button or reset button do not work. When it boots "02/03/98-i440LX-2A69JFDBC-00" I cannot id this at the Award BIOS site.

I did find this, 2A69JFDBC-00: DataExpert (ExpertColor MLX8440) on Wims BIOS but that's all I could find out about it.
The home page for DataExpert I could not get to but the address is shown as http://www.dataexpert.com.tw/

Good Luck !!
