Posted: Thu Nov 27, 2003 6:17 pm Post subject: FREE NVRAM chip |
|
|
Its apparent that my NVRAM is dead in my IPX. Doing some googling and what not, i stumbed on a newsgroup post about this place. They will send out *FREE* samples of their chips. The post was a bit dated, but I went to the site, and sure enough, they still give out samples. So if you every needed a new NVRAM, go here. www.maxim-ic.com
As long as you choose standard shipping, there is no charge. BTW, the post I read, was from a lad in Australia, so they DO ship internationally. |

I had to check my mail, I got the DS1742. I found an old article saying that the older version (ds1642) would fail post, but still somehow work. Apparently the DS1742 is the replacement. As of today, I havent gotten them yet. But hey, they're free right? Ill post back when i get it, and have it installed.
BTW, the links that I got the info from were here

Hi,
The is a problem with the going to the "samples" section (http://www.maxim-ic.com/samplescart.cfm) . Apparently a duplicate key entry. I've notified the webmasters to rectify the matter.
thanks

I could never get the link to work to order one. It gave some kind of error. (Your link worked, but the link on their site to order never worked) _________________ Inspiron 4100 & Sun UltraAXe

Maybe it could be your browser? Which one were you using? I know it works in IE, and Opera, but Mozilla and Netscape gave me errors. |

I was using IE at the time. It was a server side error. _________________ Inspiron 4100 & Sun UltraAXe
