Thread: Florida meet 2005

I thought about that on the way home


the pics are under the past meets button, and then click on the pics link

I really do like that R/Computer Car implimentation... Bravo dude...

That R/C car thing was really sweet. But I still dont see anything under the past meets. All I see is July 2004 and Nov 2004.
Sorry, my bad. Apparently I never told Firefox not to store stuff in cache. My bad.

slick... :P

hmm, dont know why the pic links dont work. Oh well just hit the site they are all there.

AAAh. Okay, wait. Serious standby issues.
It was working great until I did the following:
1. Bought a $12 LED case fan and plugged it into the 3-prong fan pin on my epia.
2. Downloaded and installed Motherboard Monitor [ From http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=204 ].
3. Turned it back on.

Before, it used to go to standby and kill the USB power because it's powered off my +5 line. Now, any sort of standby and it goes crazy! No matter how I try to turn off the power (standby, hibernate, or shut down) it will turn right back on after completing the respective shutdown cycles EVEN WITH THE KEY REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION.

WHAT THE ****!

I tried uninstalling the software and removing the fan and standby still messes up! I even did a bios reflash and it still messes up. Now I've set it to hibernate at all times and it's working the same as it did before the meet. And I've plugged the fan into the normal 4-pin molex.

Other ideas.
1. I did plug the fan into the motherboard 3-prong while the system was on standby. Could that have done something permanent to my standby capabilities?

2. Is there anything that the motherboard monitoring software could have changed that uninstalling wouldn't fix?

PLEASE HELP
I really love standby and I would love to have a fan that works and even better works alongside some motherboard fan and temp monitoring software.

Hey, I am glade you guys like my car! I liked all of yours too, yes even your crown vic john1701

maxxel : after you installed the fan did it come out of stand by properly? If yes then it was probably the software. and if thats the case then I would just do a system restore to the point just before you installed it. Let me know what happens cause i want to add some blue leds for under my model pc.

jcdillin : I am planning on upgrading my sound quality. I think I read somewhere that you used to have a soundblaster mp3+, but now I think you just upgraded. So, if I am right, how was the quality of the mp3+ . Also if you just upgraded, would you be willing to sell yours?

I looked for the turn on mod for the lilliput and found two threads.

1. Auto Power-on Lilliput
2. Solution to Auto Power ON (coyote)

How did you guys do it, or if there is another thread please be so kind as to direct me to it. The coyote one looks pretty hard to me because I am not very experienced with soldering, so if there is another way, I will take it.

Thanks guys, I am looking forward to the next meet, hopefully I will have some new stuff to show.

just added the video from the meet. I hope I got everyone's screen name correct.

Sucked that mine ride wasnt ready for the meet. But It will be ready to display for the next meet.

john1701: It didn't matter that your car wasn't ready, it is still amazing how much you plan to do. So I respect you for taking on such a time consuming task and completly understand why yours wasn't ready, hell, none of are comps were "ready".

Oh and by the way the video link didn't work for me. Just a huge page of characters came up. Also, nice site, it looks really good.
