Have AN35N Ultra V 1.1 ,
http://global.shuttle.com/Product/MotherBoard/mbd_Spec.asp?M_id=49 ,
(AMD 2800 CPU, and Windows XP Home sp1)
The board has 2 dual-channel IDE connectors, IDE1 & IDE2, providing
support of up to 4 devices.
If anything is attached to _IDE1_, I can't get into the BIOS. The
screen says Entering Setup but doesn't. The BIOS hangs on detecting
IDE drives.
If I attach a drive to (jumpered as master) to the end of (the master
connector) the cable going to _IDE2_, I can get into the BIOS. But the
BIOS doesn't detect any IDE drives, even in auto detect.
!- When a drive is attached to the power connector _only_ (IDE
connector left unattached), the drive starts. When holding it in my
hand, I can feel it start.
!- If a drive is connected to the power connector _and_ the IDE
connector, the drive doesn't start. When holding it in my hand, I
don't feel it start.
Voltage measurements form power supplies are correct. Also in PC Health
of the BIOS, they look correct.
Drives are probably okay. I got the same behavior with known-good
drive I had on the shelf.
I tried switching cables. Same behavior.
Everything was working fine until I began to prepare to install a new
drive, which I never installed. I vacuumed inside the case to clean out
the dust. Even though I was very careful, something must have happened.
The board has a year's warranty, and the year isn't up. But the
warranty is from Shuttle, and I have to send it away, I think.
Do you people think it's the board? Could it be anything else?
What's my next step?
