Odd problem

brightonrvf · 28 Jun 2007 at 11:18

Just built a shuttle.

The is no video output, I have changed cards and monitors (they were all working before), but no joy

The shuttle is running up ok but I just get a no video input message on the screen.

Any thoughts??

isn't that a bit of a common shuttle problem? fans spin up but it never posts? Or do you think it is fully booting, ie you can ping it on the network, just no video?

Re-seat components, clear bios, if that doesnt work then the mobo has probably gone bad.

Stripped it down, taken the cpu out to see if it posts.

I dont have a manual, do you hold the reset CMOS in on boot up, or a is there a different procedure?

Erm taken the CMOS battery out and out it back in again. Pressed the reset button, followed the instructions on the Shuttle site.

With no CPU in I should still get a bios message when it boots?

Im guessing but I dont think it will post without a cpu, memory yes, cpu no.

Take the RAM out - should get one long continuous beep

No beep at post or when the RAM is taken out

Unless you have regular HD activity, it's more likely the Shuttle isn't completing a POST. Could be due to memory compatibility.

There is a jumper on the motherboard to short the CMOS. Just make sure the mains power is also off while clearing CMOS. Best look on the Shuttle website and download the manual for exact model.

As far as I know, no Shuttle model has onboard speak for POST beep error reporting.
