My friend gave me this old motherboard and I'm trying to find out which pins I need to connect to the power LED, power switch and reset switch wires. The mb does not have the make & model on it, he can't find its manual and I can't find it on the ASUS web site. So I'm just looking to identify it right now.
It's got a 400 fsb, 4 DIMM slots, AGP, PCI x2, PCI-E(?), socket 478, VIA VT8233 chipset. My friend thought it was an 845 but they all appear to have 800 fsb.
Hi,what DimaYasny said Is right it is made by PCChips, and they usually put their model numbers on the board somewhere.
Quite often it is between the AGP slot and the first PCI slot ( but I cant see cos you have a graphics card in place )
The pin outs for the power - reset & led's are usually to the bottom right corner on most Mobos.
But from what I can see on your board they seem to be just underneath the end of the bottom PCI slot .
and they should go like this.....
you should have two rows of four pins
Power switch connects to top row right hand pair
Reset Switch conects to bottom row right hand pair
Power LED connects to top row left hand pair
HD LED connects to bottom row left hand pair
Hope this is helpful

Fine, so it's a PCCHIPS board, now which of a series of 3-4 is it?
I have a chips board here and PCCHIPS is notorious for NOT putting the mod./ver. info on the board, you only get that at boot time by reading the BIOS info at the bottom. connect nearly everything and temporarily short the first two of a series of pins in parallel to boot.
Go to PC Chips website here http://www.pcchips.com.tw/pccweb/ind...uID=16&LanID=0
click on motherboards
then click on any of the boards
then click on the "zoom" button
How many do you see that DONT have
the model, Rev No on them ?
None thats how many

used to be that the same bios chip was used on a variety of boards. more recently tho the bios is usually board model and ver. specific.
search the numbers off of the bios chip, you'll have to remove the small square sticker to read them. DON'T remove the bios from the board, the bios is sensitive to the static charge that you hold in you which will corrupt if not destroy the flashed info in it.
the bios chip is the large IC just left of your two PCI slots.
