 |
|
| I have a emachine t2792 that will not power up. I tried a new power supply to no avail. I believe the motherboard is fried. Are these propreitary mobo's? What board is it? Will another board that accepts the 2.7G Celeron work with the emachine case connectors? Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance, Bjorn |

TriGem Imperial GV board.
http://www.emachine-upgraders.info/dir1/motherboards/socket478/imperial.shtml
It is not really proprietary as in it can be replaced with a regular socket 478 board that will take your celery... However, you will be forced to reinstall windows if you replace it with something different than the original...

your board is the Trigem Imperial GV listed here
ive just replaced this board with a refurb i got off of ebay, this is what i used, for about $32.
you can also get something from newegg, like this but you will have to reinstall your operating system, and the emachines restore disk will be useless for that.
on a side note, i did not have to reinstall windows when i used the board i got from ebay. just had to call the activation line and reactivate it. bonus there.

I guess the chipsets were a close enough match for windows not to go haywire. Sometimes you can be lucky indeed.

sure was evasive, actually, i booted into safe mode first, and it found all the drivers for the G chipset, and installed them. plus all the other new hardware. then it rebooted and went into the activation thing.
one thing i notice, every time an emachines power supply goes bye bye, it takes the board with it. think they got that planned? and its almost like clockwork, about 2 years.

| Thanks all who responded. I found a board on ebay for $29. It doesn't have video, but that's fine. This machine died suddenly at work and the boss didn't want to fool with repairing it. We pulled the hard drive and I snagged the rest. Long story short, I have to do a new windows install anyway, so i should be fine. I'm praying it's the mobo, I already tried swapping a power supply to no avail. Hope the cpu is ok. I guess I'll find out soon. Thanks again, Bjorn |

change the power supply as well, or you will most likely blow the new board too.

hi I need and did a search the site but this the near same type info on the Emachine T2482 motherboad a friend has the system and today I was asked to look it over and his system is showing no video it seems to be booting as I took the Hard drive off line and put in linux boot cd and could hear it spin up and boot no post Beeps on the system though.
I noted that also the keyboard had to lights on the numbers keys and the caplock. they would not turn off when the system was shut down and the and could not be turn off while it was on.
I have done system install on this system so I know this not normal. We took the system pluged in anothere power supply of the same wattage(150) but still no boot .
From looking at the site you linked to it was not the same MB.
this was AMD 2800+ with the 2100 256meg DDR memory.
the have a 64 meg ATI card installed but that card would not come or would the on board Video.
I pulled the Cmos battary for bit as well..
I Will need to replace the MB with something that is near what they have now as well the power supply take that upto a more real wattage. any sugguestion would be helpful
Ok thank you
