I just installed the 2.6ce on a 1.6. When I power it on with the chip disabled it works fine. When chip is enabled it turns on for a few seconds then off then back on then frags, following someones post on here I tried holding in the enable switch and it then powered on fine. The only problem now is when it powers on the eject LED is solid green for about 10 -15 secs then it goes solid orange. I get nothing but a black screen. No error codes and no flashing LED just solid orange, and I have checked the LPC install and the connections are clean...Any thoughts on what might be causing this?

I think you have a 1.6b, not a 1.6.
Try doing the same again, only from Bank 2 of your chip.

I tried both banks again and both give the same result. I have been looking everywhere and cant find anything about a solid orange LED. I just installd the chip and havent even had a chance to flash it yet.

Try this:
Press the eject button. The eject LED will flash and then stop. Press eject again.
Keep doing this - you might get lucky and get a FlashBIOS screen (eventually!).

Thanks for your help but still no luck...tried for a while and nothing. Could it be a bad chip? Everything if fine when disabled, so I am going to try my buddy's chip and see if mine might be bad or if it has to do with LPC/pin header install. Any other suggestions would be a great help.

Definitely try another chip. It could well be the soldering, but you'll only know for sure once you've tried someone else's chip.

Got to the FlashBios screen finally. Since holding in the enable switch worked to power it on I tried holding in both the enable switch and the bank selection switch and whaaallaaaa. Right to FlashBios blue screen...now if I can only make a selection from the menu but I guess that is for another forum. Thanks for all your help Martin
