SW1 switch not working
need help

New MessageSW1 switch not working (modified 0 times) Georgie

This is on a V3b. I think I have done everything as described in others' posts. I have the DIP switch soldered in SW1, desoldered R130, but the switch is non functional, i.e. I am unable to change the CPU multiplier with it. The IO only boots at the 3x setting. In this case the actual multiplier applied will be 3x for the Winchip, 2x for the K6-3+. That's all. At any other setting the IO won't boot. I know I can use k6clk to set the multiplier in DOS/Windows, but it doesn't help in other OSes. Any help will be greatly appreciated. TIA

chances are you have a bad solder join somewheres.

take your iorn and make shure you have a VERy clean solder pads where you removed the r130

also for the dipswitches on sw1

hold the soldering iron on each contact to reneat/seat each pin, this may help. You may end up having to just TOTALY remove and resolder the dipswitch. The only other thing i can think of is that you may have put it on backwords. if you did then your settings are going to be worng.

You don't say what your FSB is set to, but the IO will not boot above 300Mhz. This is why you need the K6+ processors so that you can switch your multiplier after you boot up.

Thanks for the ideas.

MP3boombox,

That's what I first thought and I have already desoldered-resoldered the whole switch once. Although the pads of R130 may still be the culprit, I have to look into it.

Badflash,

110 MHz.

Gee, I didn't know it. Any specific reason?

But then anyone running a non-DOS OS has to write his own k6clk for running above 300MHz?

Apart from this I was unable to change the multiplier with the Winchip as well (of course, FSB was 67MHz), so I would think it is of the contacts.
