IPC2 not working anymore
Posted: Thu Sep 11, 2014 6:55 pm
Hi,
I was working with my new IPC2 for two days and my screen was starting flickering. After some tests with drivers I thougt I should try a new BIOS. OK, I have Windows8.1 installed and I was not able to boot into the BIOS because Windows 8.1 does not completely shuts down. I thougt I should remove the Harddisk so that the PC has to boot from beginning but my screen remains blank. I tried HDMI instead of DP but same result. So I reset the BIOS with the RTC RST switch - same result. Next I removed the RAMs and re-inserted them - still no splash screen. Then removed the RAMs again and saw the ME RST button below the RAMs so I thougt lets push it. Reinserted RAMs again, RTC RST, plug in everything and now my current situation: It swiches on, I-O light is green, HDD light flashes one time, IPC2 Logo is green for 3 seconds and then it switches off. After a second it swiches atomatically on again and after IPC2 logo was on again for 3 secons it switches off - Loop starts...
Is there a way to fix it, or do I have to send it back?
Probably I distroyed it by pushing the ME RST button? The memory was working before and btw. Later by switching back to my old pc the monitor was still flickering... so it was not the new IPC2 that caused the flickering problem it was my monitor... But I want my IPC2 working again...
My RAMs are 2x SAMSUNG 8GB 204 pin DDR3L-1600 SO-DIMM (1600Mhz, PC3L-12800S, CL11, 1.35V Low Power für Apple und Notebook) - Apple ID 0x80CE
Please help!!!
Thanks.
Edit: If I completely remove the RAMs and reset the BIOS and switch it on without RAM the I-O button remains green without loop. So the RAMs are part of the problem. Does anyone know what the ME RST button below the RAM does??
Edit2: Does one of you know if it is possible to enter the bios without RAM installed? I never get a splash screen or some text even if the pc is on.
