• Escom (unknown)

Known issues:

• DALLAS RTC coin cell empty

The motherboard's Real-Time Clock (RTC) chip contains a coin cell that may have drained, causing the loss of CMOS settings. This can result in an inability to save settings, causing system instability or failure to boot. To fix this, the RTC chip can be replaced with an equivalent or repaired by cutting into it and soldering on a new external coin cell holder. Replacement guides are available at https://github.com/necroware/nwX287 or https://github.com/necroware/nw12887, depending on the actual chip used.

• Faulty IDE Controller

The motherboard has a documented faulty IDE controller, which may cause problems with IDE devices such as data corruption or lockups.

Notes:

Escom OEM board. Known for having the problematic CMD640 IDE Controller
