The collected works of chemdream

I just got an o2 off ebay. I was really excited because it's a mips 12k!

I know it worked before delivery, because I was provided with a image of it working etc...

Anyways, I finally get to turn it on and.... solid red led.

I tried the jumper trick. I reseated the RAM and CPU.

I'm trying to see if I can get anything from the serial console. But, no luck. That could be my fault though. I'm trying a USB to serial with zterm (9600, no compression, no xor, etc)

Any other ideas?

I've left the computer on for like 10 minutes. It just sits at RED. No hard drive spin up or anything that I can hear.

Just in case, does anyone have a link to a replacement Dallas chip for the O2?

Thanks!

So, I put in a new Dallas chip. That did not help. Now, When I plug power in, I hear the PSU receive the power. But when I press the power button, literally nothing happens. So it's like I took a step backwards.

Do you guys think the only fix is a new logic board? If so, anyone selling one?

Thanks...

I just ordered a PSU.

I had no idea these things were so touchy.

Since NOTHING happens when I hit the power switch, I'm assuming it's the PSU...

This might be a dumb question, but do I need to program the new Dallas chip? Because I just popped it in...

It took it MOSTLY apart. I took the CPU and RAM out. I'll find a replacement motherboard.

It's so frustrating, because I bought it from eBay, working. I know it was working because there was a photo of it on with the serial # and date. And because these are so old, they are still sold as is. I bought it just to play around with it. Now it's turned into tech support. hah.

My board died! I'm looking for a 10k or 12k board.

I'll buy a full o2 desktop if the price is right.

Thanks!

Ahh, by "right price", I mean, less than eBay, in dollars...

Looking to buy a 1600sw monitor. I'm in the Detroit Michigan USA area.
