It is the right forum.
694X-686A-6A6LJPR9C points to 6 different motherboards from PcPartner. The actual model number is NOT printed on the board, the form factor and the code can give an indication of what board we're looking at:
AP133AAS3-205C ATX
AP133AAS3-C962/
AP133AAS3-962C/
AP133AAS3-B962C ATX 35-C962-XX
AP133ABS3-C967/
AP133ABS3-967B/
AP133ABS3-B967B Baby AT 35-C967-XX
AP133AMS3-C968/
AP133AMS3-968C/
AP133AMS3-B968C Micro ATX 35-C968-XX
P757 ATX 35-7757-XX

AP133AAS13-C950/
AP133AAS13-950C/
AP133AAS13-B950C ATX 35-C950-XX
The code is on the corner where the ISA slots are at the back (top left if keyboard connector in top right).

Well I opened the tower and this is what I found, I do apologize as I am a total newbie when it comes to this stuff...
On the motherboard itself it had this on a sticker by the PCI slot cards
VIA-ATX7730
On the chipset it has this
VT82C694X
And the only serial I could find by the printer port was this
9C950011918
BIOS Version
2K000608
I hope this helps,

A-trend ATX-7730 which has both slot1&socket370 so it is the AP133AAS13-C950/ AP133AAS13-950C/ AP133AAS13-B950C variant of which the -C950 is the most likely candidate

search for C950 on that page and you'll see what to get (manual and bios), make sure you read the readme file inside the bios update zip-file!

Thank you edwin
So once I identify the the flash IC Bios I'll know which bin file to use in the zip file and I use Awdflash...and the bin file on a bootable disk!
I read the manual and it sounds easy enough, thank you for your time and I will report back once I complete this task!

Hello edwin!
Thank you for the photo it helped me find the flash IC Bios chip, this is what mine has one it
Winbond
W29C020C-90B
Then a sticker !
Award! 1998
PCI - PNP 686
252865076
Now I just wanted to comfirm with you one more time as if I screw this up I could be dead in the water...
Now inside the Bios zip file it has 2 bin files, which one or do I install both?
V0308AG.bin
V0824AG.bin
As it mentioned to identify the clock generator IC on your motherboard before updating the BIOS. Upgrading with a wrong BIOS file may result in failure to power up after the upgrade
I await your reply! and thank you once again for being so patient with me!

they give you 2 options for that. Check which one you have on your board. See if one of the chips has a part number that comes close and post the markings of that. I'll check that with the readme file and I should be able to tell you what bios to use. I think it's the one for the winbond W83194R-39A clock chip but please doublecheck this.to identify the clock generator IC

Hello edwin
Sorry was out and just got the email! I opened the tower again and found it right by the Ram slots
This is what it says on the chip
W83194R-39B
Just want to make sure we have the right Bios, bin files...
Hope this helps!

Well I did the flash already after seeing what the clock gen code was as the readme file pointed out to use rev "B" ...
Now everything went fine but I did get a flashing warning just before the programing start!
Something about this file is not suited for your system!!!!
I still wen't ahead with the flash anyway, and everything seems to be working fine!
Is that something I should be worried about?
The system error's that I was getting before the flash are gone and my system seems to be moving much faster now, especially on bootup!

Well, it looks like you had the bios for the 39A controller chip loaded before flashing but I wasn't entirely sure. I have checked this again and you were.
Anyway you now have the proper bios and a working system. Thanks for reporting back
