    Hi All,

    Hopefully someone could help me.
    I have a motherboard that originally came out of a Compaq Presario 6000 series. The board model number is MS-6541.
    I am looking specifically for the jumper settings for the HD light, power switch etc,

    If anyone has one of these or any information on it I would be eternally grateful.

    Cheers

    If you look really close the layout should be printed on the board beside each pin e.g. Hd led, PW sw etc...

    Thanks joePC

    Thanks to all that replied.

    The problem is that that there are no descernible markings near the jumpers only numbers! I was hoping that maybe someone who has one could take a peek inside and note what goes where

    Cheers

    sweetr,

    the problem is compounded by the fact that the MS-6541 doesn't appear on the MSI website anywhere. There is even a mb_comparison.pdf that lists for example (K7N2GM -> MS-6777) so you can compare marketing names with model names and vice versa, but I couldn't find anything on 6541. Best bet is to find out the original Compaq model and try the Compaq site.

    Thanks for the reply.

    Ive been through all the usual channels including the compaq/hp site.
    Guess I'm just going to have to find someone who has one and copy the settings.

    Cheers

    Did you try contacting Compag directly or emailing them? Just on the off chance?

    There is an MSI motherboards newsgroup maybe a post there might bring you some luck?

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but there should be what - 8 pins in that bank? Why not just have a go at trial and error? Obviously one combination should work, and a wrong-setting shouldn't affect anything major?
