Hi guys,
I am from India, one of my frineds office PC Acer Veriton M200 (Warranty expired), which was working fine was not used for a week in that period the CMOS battery died and when he started the PC he got the message CMOS CHECKSUM ERROR, press F1 to continue, after that the hard disk was not detected before that he had worked on the computer and it was working fine. I went and saw the PC, the hard disk (SATA) was spinning but was not detected in BIOS, DVD drive (SATA) was detected.
I did the following
Disconnected USB cable of printer, LAN Cable, disconnected the DVD drive power cable. Only kept the Keyboard,mouse and VGA cable connected.
1 - Connected DVD Drive SATA Cable to HDD - Didn't detect HDD
2 - Connected HDD SATA Cable to DVD Drive - DVD was detected.
3 - Connected SATA cables in different ports - Didn't detect HDD but DVD was detected.
There was a second PC (locally assembled) I connected the HDD of Acer to the other PC it was detected and was working fine. Didn't boot to windows as the other PC is G41 chipset and Acer is Q65 chipset so I connected it as a slave drive and it worked perfectly, in BIOS of the G41 motherboard SMART was enabled, It didn't detect anything.
Only thing I didn't swap was the Powersupply as someone was working on the other PC.
Then I went on Acer website for BIOS update, I was unable to find the Model Veriton M200 on the website. Please help me find the BIOS for the motherboard. The Model No. on MBD Q65H2 AM v1.1 EA=C89CDCA75CD0, BIOS ver P01-A2.
Let me know if anyone can find the BIOS for this motherboard or has faced any similar problems.
Regards,
