20 Most Recent E-Machines (308714) Motherboard - Page 4 Questions & Answers

I am an emachine specialist. These computer suffer with problem motherboards which often blow the power supply unit. Replacing the power supply on it's own does not solve the problem as the motherboard processor socket is the cause of the problem, the fault in turn blows the power supply. The same applies to all Advent and Medion computers sold via the high street stores.

Need help to repair, email me me at [email protected] or ring me on 07926-106150

Hi,
The final set of connections are the front panel leads that attach to the motherboard. This includes the LEDs for hard drive activity and power status, the case speaker, and most importantly, the power switch.
eg:

You should consult your motherboard manual to find out where to plug these in. The power one is obviously the most important.

Hope this helps

Standby does not turn off the computer. It reduces power consumption but does not turn the CPU off or the power supply. Because the cpu is still on the cooling fan stays on to cool it. If you want it to turn the fan off or be silent I suggest using hibernate or shutting it down completely.

Hi birm,
I can tell you that most likely the white wire is the ground wire. The others are positive. The two manual found on eMachine's site does not provide enough of detail.
In this manual see;
Replacing the front I/O Panel (Pages 168, 170 see number 5).

The information is not specific enough, my guess is the front panel connections is the cable to the far right. (Looking at the picture).
You can try by looking at the picture & hooking the cable as shown.
The white colored wire seems to face to the right. Than try the power on button. If system does not come on, turn the connector 180 & reconnect. Try the power on button on the case.

Good luck birm!

I wish I could be more specific.

Well this is just my take on the problem, and feel free to click on the repost button to get more opinions from people around here but.

I haven't seen a single service manual for a motherboard and when I worked at a Pc repair shop we never repaired motherboard we replaced them. So as far as I know not available but I will look into it and if your not satisfyed with my solution go ahead and click repost.

can U give me mercury p4vm800m via vt8237r display driver PLease and When?

i would get one off of a old card-like off a game port or any other card that has these nuts, i have done this..hope this helps you.

The regular way is by accessing the inside of PC, reading the numbers on motherboard, or on AGP/PCI video card, and looking on google for the model.

An alternative is using software, even if this does not even work. See:

The correct wiring plan for this computer is as follows:

Pwr Led Pwr Sw N/C

X X X X O

X X X X X
HDD Rst N/C

Note : N/C = no connection, top row has no pin, bottom row has a pin but not connected.

when you plug in the Pwr Led and HDD connectors, a light should come on, if it doesn't , turn off the pc and turn the connector round on the pins, re -power on your pc.

e machine uses FIC motherboards and you can get a manual from FICusually an atx 500 watt power supply will run any board

i dont get any sounds when i am using linux, in windows when i open a vedio initially it comes in black color after open the nvidiacontrolpannel it comes in its original colrors.this is my problem

Industry Standard Architecture exists here.

The pin arrangements for USB are standard, some usb headers are attached to the boards in the opposite direction but the pin arrangement is the same.

USB headers consist of 9 pins, arranged as 4 pins and one missing, and 5 pins like this:
x x x x o
x x x x x

these are marked as:

vcc1 usb 0- usb 0+ n/c
vcc2 usb 1- usb 2+ n/c

colours are:
red, white green black

Note: some motherboards have these connectors back to front but the connection sare as per the diagram

the audio header is arranged as follows:

X X X O X
X X X X X

top row = gnd, vcc5, mic2,n/c line

bottom row = mic1,mic r, line out,front spk r, lin out L

The cable colours may differ but the preformed plug will only fit in one place /direction

the pin arrangement is 4 pins and pins.
From left top row (4 pins) first 2 are power led, next 2 are power switch, next 1 is empty
from left bottom row ( 5 pins ) first 2 are hdd, next 2 are reset, next 1 is empty.
The connectors for the power led and the hdd produce a light, if they don't produce a light, power off your pc and switch the cables round the other way and power on again.

there will be one INTEGRATED CIRCUIT (ic) near by the pci slot it is called as the video adapter ic ....
if this ic is dead then the the display will not come ...

so you need replace that ic ..

you can do that if you are experienced professional ...

if you have no idea then you need take it to motherboard technician ... ..

well this is one of the nightmare problems I keep got into ..there can be alot of posibilities..but the most common are the video card is damdaged or the mainboard.try to change the video card and check than.if the problem persists,than is a motheboard fault..look to all the condensors,chech the intefrity of your connections..
good luck.
it is  a very booring work.

If you need to replace the motherboard, it is most likely proprietory which means it can only be from emachines so you can request an RMA at the link.

Try Checking if your motherboards bios will recognize the hard drive. If not, Then the hard drive is probably damaged.

To access The bios, Most Motherboards open the bios when you press the delete key

If you have two or more hard drives then the settings of the jumpers eg. Slave,Master,Cable Select.
Because they might be conflicting with each other.

I had the same problem, But I tried installing XP Home edition on my secondary hard drive and it works.
But i need to insert my xp home install disc to get it the bios to recognize that windows is installed otherwise it goes " insert system disk and press enter"

The front of the case shouldn't be the opening. Check on the back of the case
for screws that will either let you take off the housing or the side panel.

Most Mobo's have printing next to the places that are jumpered or pluged into. The ones you need sould be close to the edge of the mobo, that is close to the front {power button} side.
