Off Topic - where to find a diagram for an eMachines motherboard

[jinxy]

  Hello all, this is sort of off topic but I don't know where else to
ask. I'm tring to fix my sisters computer, they said it does nothing
when you hit the power button. I swapped out the power supply. My
problem is they unhooked all the wires ffrom the motherboard and the
manual doesn't have a diagram telling me where to connect the wires,
and the motherboard itself isn't clearly labeled. I tried emailing
eMachines but they won't offer any help other than "bring it to a
repair shop".

  So that's the question, does anyone know where I can get a diagram
from? It's an eMachines model T2792. Any help would be great.

It looks like your eMachine has one of four mobos. Here is a link that
will let you look at a picture of the boards, then click on the links
and choose downloads, scroll down for mobo manuals and download the
zip file for your board. http://www.e4allupgraders.info/dir1/motherboards/socket478/imperial.shtml
Hope this is what you are looking for. Post back with your results.
Good luck. -J

Well, OK, if you didn't have anything better to do and you happened to
have a PS lying around to use for a troubleshooting measure.

A manual? You have a manual? The emachines website doesn't have a
manual.

According to a diagram I saw for replacing a PS, there were no 'extra'
PS-mobo connxns other than the basic one. Presumably your
troubleshooting PS can be matched up to the mobo's connector.

Any other connxns such as from the mobo to the case for the switch,
reset, lights, usb would make the switch (and its troubleshooting) to be
an important issue.

There is nothing but drivers and specs there.

That guy has an explanation on his front page
http://www.e4allupgraders.info/ So what that means to you guys is that
ALL driver downloads have been suspended indefinitely due to this issue.

But he has a lot of useful emachine info there; such as this stuff for
the case switches/mobo

tml Front Panel/Switch Support

One of those emachine front panel mobo pinout diagrams has 20 pins in a
gang.

Well I found out it's the Imperial-GL but unfortunately Mike Easter
is right, the downloads are down. The search continues. Thanks for the
link though it was still helpful.
