A20GATE(A20 GATE)
Super I / O's port92 buffer, SGA20 bit if set to 1, A20GATE output is High, if set to
0, A20GATE output is Low.
A20M # signal is the output signal to the CPU by the ICH. This signal is for CPU
emulation 8086 only 1M Byte (1 megabyte) address space Real Mode (real mode) when,
when more than 1Mbyte address space A20M # is LOW, A20 is driven to zero leaving
the automatic reentry to the first address a 1M Byte address space.
INIT(Initialization 启始)
As an output signal from the ICH to the CPU, and the RESET function is very
similar, but the difference is with the RESET internal L1 Cache and CPU floating point
operation state did was ineffective. But TLB (address conversion reference buffer) and
BTB (divergence address buffer) within the data were invalidated. INIT and RESET
Another difference is that the CPU must wait until the gap between the command and the
command will be confirmed, leaving the CPU into the startup state.
RESET(重置)
When RESET is "HIGH" CPU inside is reset to a known state and start reading the
first instruction after reset from the address OFFFFFFFOH. CPU internal TLB (address
conversion reference buffer), BTB (divergence address buffer) and SDC (segment
address translation cache) occurs when the internal reset all data becomes invalid.
ICH is an output signal to the CPU. When the CPU floating point error occurs when
you need to respond to this signal CPU. When IGNNE # is LOW, CPU will ignore any
incurred but not yet processed non-shielded floating point errors. When one of the, CPU
will continue to run this floating-point instruction but if IGNNE # is HIGH, when there
are errors exist, if the next floating-point instruction is FINIT, FCLEX, FSAVE?. Etc.
However, if the instruction is not a floating-point instructions above command When the
CPU stops executing while waiting for external interrupts to handle this error.
SMM mode of operation of its functions is to provide system designers to use design
as SMM Mode: System Power Management (System Power Management) or system
safety devices (System Security) and other high-end systems operation and management
of the program? ..
As an output signal to the CPU by the ICH. When the CPU detects the SMI # is
LOW, ie into begging SMM mode (System Management Mode) and to SMRAM (System
Management RAM) reads the SMI # handler, when CPU NMI, INTR and SMI # interrupt
when SMM mode signals are shielded off, you must wait until the CPU executes the
RSM (RESUME) Directive SMI #, NMI and INTR CPU interrupt signal will be
recognized.
As an output signal from the CPU to the ICH. SMIACT # SMI # is the CPU in
response to a signal, when the CPU enters SMM mode that will drive SMIACT # is
LOW, and will continue to be driven when LOW, wait until the CPU executes the RSM
instruction to the normal mode, will be driven HIGH .
ICH is an output of the CPU interrupt requests made signals, peripheral devices need
to be addressed when the data proposed for the interrupt controller interrupt request when
the CPU to detect when INTR is high, CPU bus cycle to finish running before we start
INTR interrupt handling requirements. NMI (Non-Mask able Interrupt not be shielded
interrupt)
ICH is an output from the proposed interrupt requests to the CPU signal, CPU
processing NMI interrupt request to the system interrupt controller does not read 5
Interrupt vector, NMI interrupt vector is pre-set internal CPU interrupt vector.

Preface:
Before the actual repair you must first understand the basic structure of the substrate,
because the structure of each piece of M / B are not the same
Currently it is the most common beginner Intel architecture is best to repair the Intel
Architecture M / B as the first priority, the other in front of the maintenance you must
first learn how to use a variety of maintenance tools and timing. Please understand the
significance of the various models of the BIOS Error Code represent.
Of all the M / B can get your hands when you first visual inspection, in fact, could
have an adverse visual way to see part of it, so visual inspection is very important, of
course, if you understand the structure of M / B can be obtained from The Function Point
for each adverse visual inspection may be able to quickly identify problems there.
Some of the bad maintenance board replacement parts are required, you need to
make sure before replacing parts bad parts problem is not caused by bad process, so
please put before replacement parts can be re-welded part (BGA parts can not be re- it is
not necessary to re-weld welding), so once again re-welded parts can be reduced or false
attribution of responsibility unit problem. Also, if you determine bad problem is caused
due to poor process, please remove the bad parts and then signal for further confirmation
of the part to ensure that the non-parts caused by misjudgment. (Eg: Short you find a
particular part of the two signals, after removing the part you please re-measuring the two
signals is short if this is part of the re-determination of Short process the adverse?).
In fact, maintenance is not difficult, as long as your ideas clearly in the right
direction to find the problem is basically 80% of the bad boards can identify bad
points. mb basic repair method (2) --- FF, 00 repairs
5 If found only Address Please check whether the BIOS is empty burn?
6 If the BIOS after replacing the BIOS still can not Work Please check whether the
Address receive?
8 If there is action, please check the BIOS CS Memory Read whether the action?
9 Input power is not there sometimes BIOS can cause not Work, so be sure to check
all the signals confirm that the power of the front parts are correct, and the voltage Level
is normal.
11 is the mother of all circuits of power, just like cars have gasoline to go, so if you
get a bad M / B which has not entered any power, must try to let all the power there Input
to M / B, the After you solve the power problem is often just as if the original problem
may be solved.
12. Would you have thought about the role of M / B in the BIOS of the play, in fact,
the BIOS stored data is the combination of a number of programs and data, which
provides the system in some process of basic tests before starting and basic Chipset
initialization action. You know System Boot before the first data of EA 5B E0 00 F0
actually a long-range jump instruction (JMP F000: E05B) (of course this is For Award
BIOS is concerned, if the other BIOS might be a little difference in the Address, the But
basically the first BIOS must be sent by the BIOS "EA", is also part of the system BIOS
on the Memory of so can not read data in the BIOS you have to check all received the
BIOS Address & Data Are there broken or Short is like? Other Control signals have to
check, because the signal can not be issued even if the Control Address correct BIOS data
will not be put on the Data Bus. (so if you find a series of data are the same 00 or FF
Note Perhaps Control problems).
13 Currently Intel has developed a new component called BIOS FWH (Firmware
Hub) function Fengyun components before actually using Flash ROM and is almost just
the way it functions more, and Fengyun components will still Clock Work So before
repairs must Check whether clock back to the part. This component also has two RESET
signal (RST # and Init #) these two signals must take action to normal FWH addition
there is a signal must be made before the action on the RST # must be set to complete is
IC (Interface configuration PIN), because there are two parts to the action in which a
Mode Mode is FWH (that M / B is currently Default action) called another Mode
1 If the plug DIMM found parked in C1 Or 28 Debug BIOS problems that arise in
Check Memory can not go to the next process.
2 In this case, please put each DIMM Socket are plugged Memory Module. Then
boot to check whether the situation is still the same?
3 fully remove all Memory Module Memory Module then were plugged on each
DIMM Socket, check whether there is either a socket slot Work? If either expressed
Socket Work must check can not work all the DIMM Socket signals.
4 Check the DIMM Socket not Work in process: Please Check each DIMM's Clock
is correct, LEVEL & frequency are correct Also check the quantity of each DIMM Clock
is correct??
6 In addition, some M / B Failure on the DIMM when Clock does not send, so
please plug in when you want to check DIMM Clock.
05 repair process:
1 is defined by the Error Code 05 on behalf of Keyboard Controller when not Pass
BIOS basic test, so the resulting system stops at "05"
2 Please check the Keyboard in maintenance mode IRQ is normal, check the line
Keyboard solution is normal?
07 repair process:
1.07 is checking BIOS CMOS normal? Addition also detects Battery is normal?
3 In addition also check whether the CMOS IC normal? (Some of the M / B CMOS
IC is external, such as ALI series Chipset.
5 additional current M / B RTC is mostly built around it would have in the chipset
Chipset in a cylindrical 32.768 X'Tal. Crystal is to provide the M / B RTC time base line,
so that M / Time line B can timely and accurate work. 0d repair process:
1. 0d VGA Card is the BIOS detects the presence or absence of a program, BIOS
will at this time to check whether there is plugged in all the Slot VGA Card, if they
would not plugged in
2 Generally you must first understand VGA Card is inserted in the Slot, with current
M / B terms are inserted in AGP Slot, so please check whether maintenance of PIN AGP
Slot in, there is no shortage of PIN the situation?
3 missing after the PIN, please make sure that no measure of AGP Clock is normal?
AGP Slot VCC voltage (+12 V, +3 V, +5 V) is normal?
(4) If VGA is ON Board is its VGA BIOS and M / B are combined so you can first
and then check whether a change BIOS boot.
5 Because VGA Type is determined by the CMOS VGA Type setting is generally
set at VGA / EGA color images that card. So if the content is wrong CMOS VGA may
not cause action. (At this point you can see the clear CMOS VGA will become normal)?
3d maintenance mode:
2 In addition there is a problem with Keyboard Mouse repair parts similar way. Only
difference is different from the Mouse Address. 4E maintenance mode:
1 General 4E is timing BIOS show error messages, if there 4E when two different
conditions, the first one is no picture at this time you have to check whether there is
plugged VGA Card, another condition is not action Keyboard At this point you must
check whether the Keyboard can work properly?
2 You will ask why 05 when it has checked Keyboard checked once again in 4E
Shiyou it, in fact, if the system does not indicate a problem when 05 did not occur during
initialization Keyboard controller. There may be room Keyboard controller Keyboard and
Keyboard not Work can not cause action.
3. BIOS initialization in 05 phases only work for some kinds of signals over the
initialization and can not check the problem only appears on the practical application
problems.
4 Please open your road map, you will find Keyboard Keyboard controller and
external communication signals only five exclude VCC and GND remaining three of
which have a PIN is NC Pin PIN so this is actually applied only KBData, KBClk two
signals.
There are many applications where the B in order to save space and cost, in the case
of certain low-speed serial way is to communicate as SMBUS
Computer motherboard is more complex, the failure rate is relatively high, the
failure phenomenon is more complex distribution is more dispersed. Now described as
follows:
Various cable should not be short-circuited through the place, off the pass at the
barrier; IC chips, resistors, capacitors, transistors, inductors and other components pin
off, short circuit, breakdown; connections, pins and power, ground short circuit
conduction; printing plate line disconnection, short circuit and pad off and so on. These
are common faults.
(2) DMA controller and the auxiliary circuit malfunction
DMA controller more powerful, higher failure rate; auxiliary circuit chip and the
input signal circuit is also prone to failure.
PC, the serial interface controller has a separate, also combined with other interfaces
together. Serial Interface higher failure rate.
Clock controller, bus controller, the bus driver, the control command chip, are likely
to be defective.
The PC memory chips more, higher utilization, the chip itself is the failure rate is
higher.
Different board in the CPU, a memory, I / O device data transfer bus, the bus
buffer / drivers, which have a degree of failure.
Performance in the motherboard address bus, address latch and address to send the
address buffer register CPU / drive etc..
(8) with the address of the memory control signal generating circuit malfunction
Refers to the RAS / CAS row / column address strobe signal, the row / column
address delay control signal and the row / column address circuit error.
(9) individual outlets, such as poor contact pin loosening fault
Refers to the chip and the socket due to corrosion, oxidation, less flexible, sealing
off the pin, and the failure to break bad switch generated.
Refers to the I / O channel slot copper loss, less flexible, short break, pins Weld,
sealing, excessive dust, or objects have fallen into the fault generated.
Very low.
General Power output controller current is large, heat, poor quality or if the control
chip cooling manifold or poor, high failure rate. And its surroundings due to long-term
power supply filter capacitor in high temperature environment, will result in failure
because the electrolyte dry, causing increased power output ripple caused by the
motherboard unstable.
The failure is not generated on a motherboard, which has about 60% of the fault
would cause the motherboard can not start work; 35% of failures will cause the
motherboard is not working properly; addition of about 5% for the random special fault,
performance of the motherboard state instability.
2 So if the BIOS at boot time can not be found in no HDD or Floppy disk, the
computer will stop to. And Show an error message, but the test line is so general HDD
Boot HDD must face the question came from, in general, if you use the Award BIOS is
that you can take advantage of CMOS Menu (usually press Del to enter some M / B is
also in accordance with the button) you can find a place called HDD Auto Detect
function that can help you if BIOS can not find HDD? If you use this feature BIOS can
not find HDD IDE interface indicates a problem with the wiring diagram you need to find
all The IDE signal (on the M / B has two rows of pin 40 PIN's, called Primary IDE called
Secondary IDE) HDD If you can try a pin inserted in another and then perform a HDD
Auto Detect function if that the problem can be found in the main HDD IDE interface if
you still can not find, please make sure that all signals are normal again Check. In
addition, you can also enter CMOS Menu after first Check whether the HDD function is
Disable, because there are some M / B because the BIOS BUG may sometimes have this
function is turned off. So if encountered this kind of M / B you can clear the CMOS may
be able to resolve this issue.
3 Sometimes No Boot BIOS is not the IDE can not find it in the Load OS crashes,
some previous models have L2 Cache, L2 Cache you can try to turn off, if you can solve
this problem you can move in the direction Cache maintenance. However, if the problem
M / B No Cache models, it does not involve a wider dimension discussed here. But you
can move CPU voltage (Vcore, VIO Vref?.), Chipset VCC part of the start, the other if
there is noise voltage may also cause the system to crash. When repairs have checked
CLOCK, CLOCK fact, if the title is not clean enough may also cause the system to crash.
4 Cache repairs before mentioned manner, has a CACHE Controller (usually
Northbridge) on you to check the line signals connected with this Chipset whether Open
or Short questions on general M / B.
5 did not mention any problems before replacement parts, some of which are high-
priced because the parts are things in M / B, and if the random replacement may cause
unnecessary waste, it is not recommended that you replace the initial repair parts,
replacement parts, please ask to more experienced people.
