    Greetings people.

    I got this motherboard from a friend, but when I turn the power on, all that is displayed is:

    BIOS CMOS Checksum error.
    Searching for A:
    Insert System Disk.

    I have no idea what manufactorer it is, as it is not displayed anywhere I can see (Yes I check both sides)

    here is an image of the motherboard.

    Try this page. If you can find the FCC ID you might get it there.

    Does this help?

    I found it doing a search for the numbers lasered into the northbridge and southbridge, and adding the word "motherboard" to the google search. Thank you, by the way, for using a good camera. :)

    Those caps look like they're going bad.. might as well toss it.
    Look at those 2 together one looks like it has leaked more than the other.. bad sign.

    Most checksum errors are battery and/or BIOS related...

    If you're progressing enough in the boot process to see an A:/ prompt, then your mobo has passed a whole bunch of tests...you might try pulling the battery and/or changing the battery, getting into BIOS if you can and loading whatever defaults are there, etc., before dumping that board...
