1651 not working!!! NEED HELP ASAP

i have a 1651 whitebook with these parts:

t9400
4GB Gskill
western digital 320 gb 72000rpm harddrive

is it possible that i need a bios update? I read on so many threads that the t9400 was compatible. . im so pissed. please help guys

also mine is MS-1651 ID3. not sure if that makes a difference.

 

You mights want to post more specific detail of your problem, and what you were doing prior to it happening.

I take it you replaced your CPU, RAM and HD?

Does it turn on at all?

 

yeah it turns on. i can hear the heatsink fan and the hard drive. the optical drive works as well. I'm also using the laptop with the ac adapter directly without a battery in. i doubt that would effect anything though.

Does anyone have a t9400 running in their 1651 without a bios flash? Or any one have a t9400 that required one?

 

man i wish i could help you, but i'm waitin for my cpu and hdd to come in, sam setup as you (T9400 & WD 320GB 7200RPM) just different rams, so i won't know til the end of this week, i hope your problem gets solved =/

 

vinceboii... my friend's cpu is on its way... i goggled it and it should be in ORD customs by the 4th of Feb

 

foreals? i looked up mine, it doens't say anything but the shipped date which was 2.1 for them in taiwan but 2.2 for us here. my hdd doesn't come til the 7th..

 

just check out the flight data on google. you can "guesstimate" the arrival day from there on

 

i lied my came today! while i was at work so somewhere between 1-5 it came YAY now, the hdd...

 

oo. aww man. alright let me know how your operation goes. i really dont wanna get another processor just to do this.

 

alright no problem, will do, i think OC had the T9400 and it worked out no problem for him, didn't have to update bios or anything.

 

It should boot out of the box with a T9400

 

It sounds like bad RAM; do you have some other you can try?

 

If it's bad RAM, the chances of both sticks being bad is slim. Just use each one individually across both slots. Usually you'll get an auditory warning if it's bad RAM.

Make sure the CPU is properly seated and the locking screw is completely turned. Sometimes you think it is locked, but it isn't.

Try booting without the HD just to get to Post and setup.

Throw it against a wall.... (J/K)

 

dang. tried both mem sticks. and i'm 99% certain cpu is locked. i'm afraid to go any further cause it might break something. (you shouldn't have to use strenth right?) Is it more likely the processor or the computer? thanks again guys!

 

Definitely check that RAM as stated earlier. Try using just one stick at a time in each slot. while you are in there, make sure everything is seated correctly.

EDIT: Just saw you already did that. Do you hear any beeping at all from the Mobo speaker?

 

There's no sound when I turn it on. I only hear the heat sink fan and the hard drive. I'm beginning to think its the processor. I got it off ebay and it's a es model. Shoulda just forked out the extra money. I guess ill just return it and get a p8400? Vince let me know if yours works out. Thanks guys.

 

i got everything up just like 30 mins ago! everything is working GREAT! i wasn't able to install XP =/ i don't know if it was my cd or something maybe i should have tried again but i didn't, instead i just formated it with Windows 7 and its working perfect. The driver cd came with mainly Vista exes where can i get XP PRO? and quick question am i suppose to plug in the BT or anything? i don't think mine is working.

 

you have to hit the blue tooth power button on the touch sensitive pad. It won't detect it and allow you to install drivers till you do. I just got all my xp drivers from the msi website, the sound drivers where a pain though. You have to get the nvidia hdmi sound driver from the cd to get it to work. It wasn't included on the online download.

 

oh okay i did that thanks!
