Shuttle XPC Parts

Seishi · 1st December 2008, 1:05 PM

Well, the topic says it all. Somehow a USB drive shorted my front USB ports

. I was just wondering where i would be able to find parts for an older shuttle (SB61G2 V3), specifically the front ports part which is JM710 ver 1.4. If not, guess i just have to move on

The front ports don't have any sensitive electronics. If the system isn't working, you've probably damaged the mainboard - and fixing that will cost more than the system is worth.

Ah, that's bad

Well, thanks for the quick reply, guess i'll just ignore the problem since it's not something too major.

There's a Shuttle dealer which sells all kinds of bits and pieces of Shuttles (new and secondhand), just across the road (Civic Boulevard), and down a bit from Gonghua Computer Market. Not sure if they'd have what you're after though.

Edit: Oh sorry, keep forgetting I'm in Taiwan and you guys aren't.

Before you give up check the mobo and make sure there is not a spare usb header you can use instead for the front ports, most motherboads have more than one, even the lil micro systems, worth checking out

Seishi · 1st December 2008, 2:53 PM

All the rear ports still work fine thankfully (damn shoddy usb drive...)

anyway, by looking at the manual, there are 2 USB headers, though they have 5 pins, and the usb card reader gizmos that go in the 3.5 inch drive slot/bay have sockets that require 9 pins. Can you recommend something that i can do about it or where i can source one that only requires the 5 pins? Thanks in advance

So let me get this straight, the thing that has malfunctioned slots into the floppy bay and IS removable? if it is i have actually had one of these die on a relatives pc, i replaced the slide in usb module and it worked again.

If this is one those buy a cheap shit 3.5 usb/cardreader off ebay for 5 bucks and try your luck

a photo would be even better then we can be more certain, also do you own a multimeter?

Ok so your talking about the gizmo's right down the bottom, the way you made it sound was you had a 3.5 device in the floppy bay their, no worries though, how bout disconnecting the bottom ports and installing a usb/card reader dock in that floppy bay to compensate then? also are you sure the ports are dead and not the device your using or windows playing silly buggers? it's unusual just for a port to die by just using it as normal without a warning coming up or overpowering the port itself.

Nay, the ports that have stuffed up are in front and part of the shuttle xpc. I was thinking of putting in a card reader that slots in the floppy drive and plugs into the motherboard, but that pin problem came up. And nay, no multimeter.

Really appreciate your input though

Edit:
The problem occured after plugging in a brandless USB drive, it actually just turned off the computer after plugging it in. After turning it back on, the front usb ports no longer work.

You can just split the front usb cable into 9 individual pins and route them to the 2x 5 pins headers on the motherboard. I believe the 10 pin is probably a ground pin anyway. So the two rows goes to different headers.

Seishi · 1st December 2008, 4:16 PM

Thanks for the suggestion pongie, but i'll be lost it i tried to take apart the 10 pin plug into individual pins.

Is today your lucky day ?

It's from an SN45G so you'll need to check if it'll fit.

Seishi · 1st December 2008, 8:49 PM

hmmm, it looks good, but for my model of xpc the front panel is connected via a ribbon cable. Many thanks for your offer to help though

The Touch · 1st December 2008, 8:53 PM

The cable can be removed as it's just headers on the board. Do you have a pic of your one ?

That's odd. I've got an SB61G2 too (a V1 or V2, I think) and it seems to be identical to the one he posted. I thought that the only difference between the V1/V2 and V3 was that the V3 had a bigger fan for Prescott support.

Seishi · 2nd December 2008, 10:19 AM

Don't know too much about the differences, but yeah, looking at the manuals, the changed the way the front panel is connected Shuttle FAQ

Oh well, will keep using the shuttle till it dies
