EZgo E7 7043S

[shorin]

I've got a strange little computer from a manufacturer that's no longer around. The computer is an EZgo E7. It was made by a company called AtoZ that's no longer around. It's got a P4 processor, a SiS650 Chipset, and an AMI bios.

I want to upgrade the bios if possible, but I'm having trouble locating an update for it....

On the boot-up, the string is 62-0620-009999-00101111-040201-SiS645-1AAWV006

I ran AMIBios motherboard utility, and it spit out:
Manufacturer: LouisDesignLab
Product Name: LD2
Version: 1.0
Serial Number: 00000000

I've googled LouisDesignLab with no results. Any ideas?....

Thanks.

http://www.ezgo.it/IndexEngl.htm might be of help here...

and I have found some remains of support pages here:

There might be more out there, let us know if you need more...

I've found that bios, and it was the same thing that was already on my PC (as far as I could tell). I think it was wrong (either that, or a weird motherboard problem).

I contacted eSupport.com, and they said they had an updated bios for my computer. I tried it, and now I've got a paperweight. Needless to say, I wouldn't recommend them to anyone....

I think I'm just going to have to find a replacement computer, and that's being tough. I found a manufacturer in South Africa, but I haven't heard back.

I hadn't seen the ezgo.it website. Maybe they can help...

Thanks,

Danny

Danny, is the bios chip in a socket? If so we could try a hotflash procedure with the original latest bios for this board. I think it's weird the esupport bios killed the board all together, usually they have pretty decent stuff, I don't hear that much complaints about them.

It is in a socket. What do you have in mind?

The more I think about the computer, the more I think something has gone haywire with the motherboard anyway. It may not be fixable....

Check for http://www.badcaps.net effects first before we go that route if you are questioning the motherboard anyway.
