20 Most Recent E-Machines Athlon XP 2200+ (rb-t2200-c67) Questions & Answers

There is a front-panel header on your motherboard, usually on the bottom-right-hand side if the rear I/O ports are on your left.

It is usually a header of 10 pins, in two rows of five, with the last one removed as a "key". So you will see nine pins.

if you open the case, on the bottom of the motherboard is a set of pins, you will need a light to read the small writing but it should say RST (for reset) and PWR (for power) hook up accordingly

Hi,

Generaly, the little connectors on the printed side will face the bottom of the case. Also, typically, Black is negative, and white/colour is positive (except on the power sw, it doesn't matter). On the motherboard, where the connectors go, there should be some kind of print saying where to plug them in. (IE, POWER SW, would go into PWR, and HDD LED would go into HDLED and POWER LED would go into PWRLED).


It may look different than this, but generally the same kind of layout, as you can see, it shows the positions, as well as positive and negative.

The fact that the fans are running indicates that your power Sw is connected properly.. Make sure that you didn't accidently pull out/loosen anothe connection to the motherboard/harddrive.

Unplug the power from the unit, Open the computer and remove the bios battery. Let it sit overnight reinsert the battery and then the the power. If the issue is within the bios this will clear it I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/lou_afa492c634393790

is f1 the key it asks for to enter bios.... try other keys f2 or even the del key.

If you feel comfortable working inside the computer, after taking electrostatic precautions and ensuring the power is off and disconnected, look for a group of colored wires which plug on to a set of pins near one corner of your motherboard. The power wires should be marked "PWR" (or something similar) on the end of the wire, and the appropriate place for it on the motherboard should have the same marking.

If in doubt, take it back to who/where you got if from, and ask them to do it for you, or give us the eMachines model number and we can give more specific info on how to proceed.

Safety first. If you're the slightest bit unsure about what you're doing...DON'T DO IT!!!

I've had 2 emachines t2682s with celeron 2.6ghz procs, go bad. From my research it seems that the PSU goes out and takes the mobo with it. just this week i am updating the latest fatality. Thought i had the fix but new mobo only supports celeron D and P4. Just ordered new proc. Should have changed it all over to AMD like I did with the last one. Good luck finding the right mobo with 2 pata ide sockets. I'm currently trying to use a biostar P4M900-M4 but need to upgrade RAM and CPU. Could have gone with an AMD dual core set-up for same dough. Hope this helps some.

This is most likely the motherboard you are using. If it is, you can find a manual for it here http://www.ecsusa.com/ECSWebSite/Downloads/ProductsDetail_Download.aspx?detailid=62&DetailName=Manual&DetailDesc=&CategoryID=1&MenuID=6&LanID=9

check that you have no spyware or virus by running the appropriate programmes, then clean all your temporary internet files as you may have some corrupt cookies, you can get a good system cleaner free to download from the link below called ccleaner

Well, chum, windows XP is the operating system, not a specific program. Phil must have been a rather daft fellow to spread such tosh. I do believe what he meant to say was Windows Movie Maker. Right, hope that helps.

well that is 17,000 volts there 17kv and can be lethal . CRT is cathode ray tube and 2nd anode is 17kv, 1kv per inch screen.. we use a chicken stick to discharge that. one guy gut hit here and flew across the room ,hit head and next up paramedics deep.. not fun to see that. ive taking 600v but never again. vaccum seal, why do that.??? send it to the , toxic lead recycle center, let them do the danger work when I was only 16yo I worked in TV shop and I had do that "nnipp" that in the bud on all CRT sent off to refurb. (or toxic trash) (we sold them all here, you name it) we had to remove the socket there find he glass bud there dead center and full PPE, and snap it with wire cutters and it sucks in air fast. later in military too on old radar scopes, i worked . the vacuum inside is pure and prefect, zero gasses. implosion hazard exists. a glass flies in the bounces out and hits you and then next up blind i one eye. leave CRT alone to the trained.

the monitor is dead. PSU dead inside. only used PSU sold on ebay.

to boot a cd then you must have the bios set to allow it, or tap f12 immediately to intercept boot menu and choose cd. sounds like your drive has a few bad disk sectors.

firstly lets think why a Working pc would no longer BOOT. The boot process then. a pc starts the bios which POST's. this results in ONE BEEP which might be followed by messages(if you get several beeps then they are like morse code long/short and count out an error code). when you get your ONE BEEP the pc is working. when it then HANGS(appears to do nothing) its usually because of either a) the cd drive is duff so disconnect its cables. b) the hard drive is duff so disconnect its cables c) the hard drive hasnt quite died yet but has some very slow sectors and is making the Clackety Clack of the heads recalibrating every few seconds. d) there could be a a gpu card bios glitch and your pc is running but you just have a blank screen. some hints then 1) never start removing parts as that corrupts the CMOS(the battery backed up configuration for your BIOS) so you may need to clear your cmos. 2) never play with the idea of changing ram sticks as people usually end up putting them in any old slot(which may result in a non working pc). make sure a PAIR is fitted in slots 0/2 and a separate matching pair in 1/3 slots not in slots 0/1 which is two half pairs. Other factors. 1) a short circuit. your PSU has built in protection, if the psu fan(inside case of the psu) turns and kicks back and immediately stops you have a short circuit and its cuts the power to avoid a fire/meltdown, which could be caused by high wattage gpu(>60 watts) without its extra power cables fitted or wrongly connected front usb cables or removing a mainboard and fitting it into a new box where the board has its support posts NOT lined up with the holes fro the screws so the post is touching underside of the board circuits. hope some of that helps.
