Preparations 3
3.USB cable

One Eee PC to flash BIOS.

Program for Flashing BIOS should be installed on PC.

Connection 1

Connect ENG EC to PC via USB cable

Plug ENG EC directly to PC is also feasible

Connection 2
Make a connection between ENG EC
and PC via COM cable

Connect KB cable to Eee PC

(NOTICE: Please make sure both Adaptor
and Battery are removed from Eee PC
before connecting KB cable)
Remove Keyboard from Eee PC and unplug
KB cable

Connection 3
Connect KB cable to keyboard,
(Please notice the cable direction)

The other side of KB cable should be connected to ENG EC

Please notice the difference between the

two KB connectors when connecting KB cable

Connection 4
KB cable is often connected as the picture shows below

Finally please check all connections, and power on Eee PC

(Either by Adaptor or Battery)

FLASH BIOS 1
Copy FLASH BIOS program to OA
Right click run.cmd and edit

FLASH BIOS 2
Type parameters into run.cmd

Explanation: -C1 for COM1 port, -C2 for COM2 port set the parameter due to the
actua COM port that connected
-S115, Set bit rate, DO NOT alter it
701.ROM, file name of ROM image, type the full file name include suffix
NOTICE: Please put ROM image, enespi.exe and run.cmd in one same folder.
If you typed the incorrect COM port parameter or the ROM image name
and still executed run.cmd, the dialog window would be disappeared after
a sudden flash.

FLASH BIOS 3
After checking the parameter, execute run.cmd, you can start FLASH BIOS,
the window would be shown as the picture below

When FLASH completed, the window would be disappeared.

NOTICE: IF you found the system halts at Checking Flash Manufacture ID

and Device ID,or it didnt respond for a long period at WWWW.
Please check the USB and KB cable are well connected
(remove adaptor and battery of Eee PC before unplug KB cable).

Wait until upgrade complete and remove adaptor

and battery
NOTICE:DO NOT remove power when FLASHING BIOS.

When FLASHING completed, power should be cut off firstly for Eee PC
(Remove both adaptor and battery), then unplug KB cable.

Problem Analysis
When FLASH BIOS completed, if POWER LED doesnt light in power on,
BIOS was not correctly flashed, please FLASH BIOS again.
If POWER LED and WIFI LED are both on, clear CMOS,
if the issue still existed, please FLASH BIOS again.

New Card Debug Card Function Introduction

1.If M/B reserved the NEWCARD debug circuit, then we can use Newcard
connector to show post code via LPC or SMBUS interface
(Priority: LPC>SMBUS)
2.If M/B reserved the LPC circuit to 12P FPC connector, then we can use
12P FFC cable to connector Newcard Debug card and show post code via
LPC interface.
3.If M/B didnt reserved debug circuit, then we can only use Newcard
connector to show post code via SMBUS interface.
Note: ASUS BIOS support SMBUS post code after Intel Santa Rosa platform.

ps2: Choose SIO address , avoiding the confliction with
M/B SIO address.
2. LPC/FWH ROM connector: Socket for LPC/FWH

3. LED function:

Chapter 12 On Board Memory Test SOP

On Board Memory Test SOP

This test program can test on board memory.
There are two test mode:
1. On board memory fail causes NB cant boot
(only for K40IJ,K50IJ)
2. NB can boot

On Board Memory Test SOP

1. If on board memory fail causes NB cant boot
STEP1:Flash BIOS
STEP2:Some model dont have debug card connector.(eg.K50IJ MB
R2.1), so you need to weld the connector, the PN is below:
12G18330120A FPC CON 12P,0.5mm,S/T,SMT JST/12FLT-SM2TB(LF)(SN)
STEP3:Please insert the debug card and boot up

On Board Memory Test SOP

STEP4:Check the debug code, please exchange the RAM chip as below
table (eg. If debug code is 29, please exchange U2302). If debug code is
AA or 88, it means the memory is good, please wait the confirmation
ended (about 10 minutes).

On Board Memory Test SOP

STEP5:There are two kinds of memory chip that we used, NANYA
and SAMSUNG, please note which kind you want exchange, the
PN is below
NANYA

03G15162F210

SAMSUNG

03G15162F311

STEP6:Flash the original BIOS

On Board Memory Test SOP

2.
If the NB can boot up,
STEP1:Please run mt211.exe in DOS.

To take K40IJ,K50IJ for an example: One DIMM have 64DQ, please check the last
bit of failing address first, if the last bit is 0 or 8, the failing address is DQ 0~31 group,
if 4 or C, is DQ 32~63 group.

On Board Memory Test SOP

The next, you need to check the Err-Bits, 0000ff00=0000,0000,00
00,0000,1111,1111,0000,0000, refer to below table, Err-Bits is 8~15

On Board Memory Test SOP

Warning: Because the last bit of failing address is
0 or 8 now, is DQ 0~31 group, and Err-Bits is 8~15
(0000ff00), so you need to find DQ8~DQ15 in PCB
Repair.
But if the last bit of failing address is 4 or C, is DQ
32~63 group, Err-Bits is 8~15(0000ff00), you must
add 32 bits, find DQ40(8+32)~DQ47(15+32) in PCB
Repair

On Board Memory Test SOP

Search DQ8~15,find
M_A_DQ8~15 are all
in U2302 on top

On Board Memory Test SOP

Press bottom and

find M_A_DQ8~15
Are also in U2402

On Board Memory Test SOP

So you can exchange U2302 and U2402, and U23XX
should be take priority over U24XX.
Warning: If the last bit of failing address is 4 or C,
search DQ40~DQ47, find they are all in U2306 and
U2406.
