Make a parallel boot block for notebook
Posted: Sun Oct 01, 2006 9:49 pm
Hi:
Can anyone tell me which colored wires from a parallel cable, to join together to make a boot block for a laptop? My bios seems to be fried. I've tried to follow the following from an HP Support forum, but I have too many green wires to pick from (i.e. green with white stripe, green with black stripe, etc). Here is the post from the HP forum:
Boot Block Jumper
I used an old printer cable and traced the wires using a multi meter.
My wires were:-
Red to Black white
White to light Green
Yellow to very light green
pink to orange
brown to red/white
Insulated and cut off the bare parts of the other wires.

It's a Phoenix bios and I'm trying to do a recovery.
Thanks.
