Compaq Deskpro EN. Pentium III processor 1000 MHz. Processor Speed
1000/133 MHz. Memory 384 MB/133 MHz. S/N 6X18-DYSZ-J1PX. System ROM
686P2 v2.11. Agency series PD1055. SC-148. Card in green slot:
HYM4V33100BTWG-75CE; HYMIX0125USA; 4MB AIMM 133 MHz CL3. No cards in
PCI slots. Windows 2000. Have no manuals or recovery disks.
Unit powers on permitting only VGA mode 16 colors (monitor is capable
of more). Basic windows apps run ok but system info "problem devices"
show:
(a) Ethernet Controller PCI bus 2, device 8 fcn 0
(b) Multimedia Audio Controller PCI bus 0, device 31, fcn 5
(c) Video Controller (VGA Compat) PCI bus 0, device 2, fcn 0
All above show an error code of 28. No drives installed since the
manufacturer is not known. Hard drive, USB port, serial ports and
parallel ports all ok.
Both of the following questions have been posed in this forum this
January; however, the question still remains.
Problem 1: How can I determine what model this is? Contacted HP for
information and informed that warranty for this serial number ended
Sep2004. They would not even tell me the model number!
Problem 2: Power on unit hold F10 down but unable to get what has been
called the BIOS window. Just get the white on black window to select
information like system, security, etc. Able to get BIOS data showing
version installed. Downloaded the BIOS update SP22200 for v3.14 and
followed instructions to make the update diskette. Place diskette in
unit and power on and with or without F10 procedure only get message
"non-system disk". Unable to update BIOS. What am I doing wrong?
Problem 3: It is possible I could live with BIOS V2.11 if only I could
find the drivers for the three problem devices; however, I need the
model number for this approach. Not sure if the basic problem is in the
BIOS (not recognizing the hardware; thus, no drivers found) or if the
hardware is known but do not have the drivers for it. Any ideas?
Thanks.
