Hello I recently after a long long time of looking managed to acquire an asrock m266a r3.0 I’ve seen a few people have gotten this board to work for the ct479 but I don’t seem to be able so I’m hopping someone might have the answer to my problem. I don’t have the original cooler so I just put a zalman cooler on top of it and I get - - no cpu detected.
M266a R3.0 plus ct479
-
did you connect the Floppy connector?
did you spin the lock around?
-
did you connect power the wrong way around?
I think Backfire might be able to fix it.

I made double sure I swapped to a different cpu to try then boom. The board still works just fine with regular p4s no problem so I guess it’s not a total loss.

You maybe just killed this regulator device. This can be replaced. If you're lucky, no other parts were damaged.

As far as my experience go not every Pentium M seems to boot up anyway. I tested three Pentium M 780 and one 765 and only one of the 780s was actually running while all of them did boot up and run properly on an ASUS P4C800 using the same ct479.
So maybe you also need to switch the cpu as well, but I have no clue what might be the reason behind the running and not running Pentium M types.

Hi, side - question: Does the ASRock A266A run with a "standard" - CPU it was built for?
