Hi all. I'm looking for a little guidance.
I have an Aspire XC 105 to renovate, dating from 2008 at a guess. It has a mini-ITX motherboard, 24-pin ATXPWR1, 4-pin ATXPWR2, a 10-pin front panel header and a front-panel audio header . I've picked up the following to swap in:
Biostar B350GTN
Ryzen 5 2400G
Two 16GB DDR4 SDRAM VLP UDIMM MTA18ADF2G72AZ
and a smallish Sandisk SSD
Anyway, I put the bits in and they fit. I'm fairly sure the PSU offers enough current, it was built to take up to a 95W processor.
I have at least two problems.
With the Panel plug unattached I can get the fan to spin but no beep, no BIOS. The panel plug appears to have different pin-outs for the same 9-pin shape as the Biostar, it won't spin the fan pressing the power button but I can get that far shorting pins 8+10.
The memory I picked up is 2666MHz ECC Single-rank, some ECC memory works with the Biostar board so I thought I'd try. I get the same fan-spin but no BIOS with the memory in or out. I'd expected to at least get into the BIOS.
1. If I give up on the case because of the likely pin-out mismatch, would anyone like to recommend a desirable alternative case-and-PSU?
2. Has anyone here used this board with ECC memory? I'll get a 4GB single non-ECC replacement to test with but I suspect what I bought is incompatible.
