Gateway/eMachines (multiple based on 4001189R board), unlocking X2 support?
#11
Bump , still don't know how to force bios crisis recovery mode specifically for version "0631". Posted a thread about it here : http://www.bios-mods.com/forum/Thread-Ke...0ua-mx3410

(02-24-2014, 12:22 AM)JollyGreenJoint Wrote: Gateway W340UA / MX3416 bios update installed and hung on boot @ "Mouse Initialization". Took the system battery out, rebooted, was able to get into bios and confirm it was 79.10 but it was saying "Unknown Processor". Remember reading about some posts involving the motherboard and the secret 79.13 bios which I finally found here Big Grin Yay ! but from the above posts it doesn't seem to matter, even though I have a working machine with Athlon 64 x2 on bios 79.10 im tempted to give 79.13 a whirl :p For anyone else going through this gateways site lists 79.10 in three different ways: 79.1 79.10 79.10 EXE
heres the original bios file that came on the machine, 79.06


i used the middle link which was confusing because the directions make reference to things being places they weren't ( which only happens if you use the self extracting .exe, before i knew it existed.

Update
Flashed back to my old bios to grab version # and because I swear it was listing a turion processor before I flashed to 79.10. On restart it asked for a password !? when I know there was no password ..EVER. Popped battery , no more pw prompt.

Update1
Got around to flashing 79.13, laptop is now bricked, first recovery attempt failed Sad

Update2
Hit a bricked wall, key press's for crisis recovery mode aren't working. Not sure which chip is bios but im assuming its this one : sst 39vf080 ; 70-4c-eie ; 0644156-k This was the closest pic I could find [Image: hp-dv9000-bios-chip-444002-001-sst-39vf080.jpg] Listing this mess for parts or waiting for a cheap mobo to pop up... BOooooooooo ! WHy boo !? Because im almost sure there is some proprietary method to recover it without removing the chip, which no one seems to know for these boards :/ And im pretty sure the basic bios is still intact, computer boots fan spins cd rom drive is accessed. The only other info I can add is motherboard markings : "HannStar J MV-4" "94V-O 0631"

Update3
:oooo gateway's part number 4001189R (which is also listed as Gateway 40GAB1200-C510)does not reflect revisions in the board. Here u can just make out a "07somethingsomething" instead of "0631" Confirmed in other pictures I could zoom in on "0718" & "0720" , these later revisions probably fully support x2 processors :o Considering how many different laptops were using this board who knows how many different flavors it comes in

Sorry to hear about your problems with the bios phlash... good news is that these systems are pretty cheap these days... problem you run into now is that the cheap ones have had the video overheat and need a video BGA reflow to fix them... but if you have the process down its about a 15 minute fix once you get the system torn apart. I've done half a dozen now and only had one not come back (could have had other issues- maybe I should try bios recovery??)

Hey, has anyone modded a bios on these to enable more than 2GB ram with this mobo? Since these systems are getting pretty old, 2GB is not very much ram anymore, but after various fixes mine is still working pretty good and I'd like to add a little more pep and go to 3gb...

Thanks all
