Akoya P5365 DEAD

[Tibbles]

My 12 year old PC will not boot up

at least - nothing shows on screen - even the BIOS screen

I replaced the HDD with an SSD and to start with all was fine, but all of a sudden the display went black

Is the Video card dead or is it something else ?

dead or is it something else

I don't think that the graphics card is being detected by the PC

I really believe that I need to reset the BIOS - Is there a jumper or do I just need to remove the battery (for how long ?)

@Tibbles 

Du beantwortest meine  Fragen  nicht. Was verstehst du unter "PreBios" und deren Anzeige? M.E. nach gibt es das nicht. Also was meinst du damit?

Hast du die Festplatte  rausgenommen nach Einbau der neuen GraKa? Hast du den Monitor wieder angeschlossen?

Manche Bios haben eine 3-polige Pinleiste, meist steht da Bios Reset als Imprint auf dem MB. Die Steckbrücke verbindet  z.B.  Pin 1 und Pin 2. Zum Reset steckt man dann die Steckbrücke um auf 2-3 für ein paar Minuten. Der Netzstecker des  PC muss dabei gezogen sein, also darf keine 230V Spannung anliegen.

Bei anderen MBs gibt es nur 2 Pins, dann muss man die Steckbrücke für ca. eine halbe Stunde mindestens abziehen um sicher zu gehen, dass ein Reset erfolgt.

Sorry, now in english translation 

You don't answer my questions. What do you understand by “PreBios” and what they or how it is their displayed? In my opinion, that doesn't exist. So what do you mean by that?

Did you remove the hard drive after installing the new GraKa?

Have you reconnected the monitor?

Some bios have a 3-pin pin strip, usually there is bios reset as an imprint on the MB. The jumper connects, for example, pin 1 and pin 2. To reset, move the jumper to 2-3 for a few minutes. The power plug of the PC must be unplugged, so no 230V voltage may be present.

With other MBs there are only 2 pins, then you have to remove the jumper for at least half an hour to make sure that a reset occurs.

Sorry - my German is not good

Yes I removed (disconnected) the SSD and YES I have connected the monitor again

To ensure that the BIOS SCREEN appears at boot up - I need to reset the BIOS  !

(although I believe that QUICK BOOT was never set on the PC)

@Tibbles 

I was speaking of Quiet Boot; wjhch doesn't show any nootifications during Post, nor the Bios Logo.

Quick Boot is often mentioned  as the Bios Fastboot setting,

How to reset your bios I wrote in´may latest post. Th eonl thing is you have to look for the pin strip with the mmprint Reset or Bios Reset on the board.

I have replaced the BIOS battery 

Is there a jumper to reset too?

Where will I find it? 

it doesn't appear to be, as per the instruction booklet - "CLEAR CMOS" via OPTIONAL HOLE "U" on rear panel..... see page in instruction manual

Which also point to page 63 - but nothing on 6 re BIOS !

Hi @Tibbles 

The jumper is right next to the battery

bye Fishtown

@Tibbles 

Durch das Entfernen der CMOS Batterie hast du  einen Reset gemacht, wenn du etwas  Zeit bis zu vor dem Einsetzen der neuen Batterie gewartet hast. Mit dem Umsetzen der Brücke auf der Pin Leiste  geht es etwas schneller. Aber warten sollte man auch bevor man die Steckbrücke zurücksetzt 

In English:

By removing the CMOS battery you have done a reset if you have waited some time before inserting the new battery. Moving the bridge jumper on the pin bar makes things a little quicker. But you should also wait before resetting the jumper. You should only do this when the supply voltage is switched off.
