1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

I remember driving one of those new and it was quick for the time. Now it's just lame. haha

I think it was cheap though, about $15-18k back in the 90s.

 

Wow, I didn’t even realize I have free access to the SiriusXM app now. Used to be that lifetime membership subscribers had to pay extra for that and now I’ve got the Platinum Membership for life.

 

I bought my wife at the time, this exact color combo and year 1987 cougar XR7 brand new....
2 days in the shop from qualifying for the Lemon law buyback. Absolute piece of shit.

 

Here is an 06 AC 2WD Tundra V6. $10k. Located in GA but it came from TX per the service history.

Thanks my man! I just posted it there.

 

If anyone needs a VIN decoded or to look up past DTC's / Service history, let me know. I'll help out where I can. (It'll only be available to look up while I'm at work). Just send me the full VIN and I'll send you the info back.

The service history and prior DTC's will only be available if they visited a Toyota Service center.

 

Yes... replace them now

 

Ok, final update on this: Looks like Toyota Parts Overstock aka Lakeland Toyota caught their own mistake, and just refunded my $23.53 for shipping.

So now I have a Toyota-rebuilt CV axle, albeit slightly damaged and needing repair before install, at no cost out of pocket (but plenty of phone calls and time wasted).

I'd totally do business with those guys again if I needed to.

 

He is. I just wanna get it legal to drive for him. He's driving one back.


I found my SSD.

 

Yeah, you'll get more speed out of an on-board M.2

Let me dig through the M.2 sticks I've got. I may have some more 1TB left, and I know I have a bunch of 512. I'll check the UserBenchmark specs on any 1TB I find and find the best. I can probably drop it in the mail to you early next week. I ended up with a gaggle of the f'n things when we had to offload a fleet of 3-4yo laptops a while back.

 

My little lifted Corolla

 

Reformating/installing used to take hours on old HDDs.
USBdrive install to M.2, about 8 minutes I think? maybe less, it's been since 2018... whoa, i think thats a record for me not blowing out my OS.

 

Too much pr0n?

 

Love that color, bet that thing is a beast in the snow. NICE

 

never.... actually, I used to play around with the OS, tweaking, stripping it down, speed tweaks, Customizing UI....

 

It seems to do well. The game plans painting the wheels bronze and getting some red mud flaps.. because why not lol

 

Well, I got everything changed out.



Everything out.


New cpu in.


new power supply in.


Thermal paste applied.


This new cooler is massive.


Back all cleaned up.


Almost new cpu.


So yeah, imagine my surprise when I turned it on and it just power cycles off and on. None. I'm not surprised at all. Everything I touch turns to shit. Anyways, I'm looking for answers on the tube now.

 

Quick like almost pulses?

 

It powers on for about 4 seconds, then the power supply kicks off. It powers back up for about 4 seconds.......

 

OK, checking some Ideas I have for you......

 

This is just what I would do.
Check the Battery on the Motherboard.
Pull the new vid card and try to boot (use old card, that you know works)
Leave new PS installed but hook the OLD one back up and try booting.
Double check wiring that you didnt miss anything, and nothing got pinched ect..
Just ideas
Can you get into the BIOS?
Prob should clear the bios anyway with the new CPU.

 

Did you leave a fan header off? Some systems, if you don’t plug the heat sink fan into the correct (and specific) CPU FAN header on the board it won’t boot up. It assumes if no fan is plugged into the CPU FAN header, the CPU will overheat, so it shuts down when BIOS executes that portion of code.

 

Put the old cpu back in and now I have no video. PC stays on though.

 

(Ask me how I know this )

 

It may be reverting to your onboard graphics. Clear the CMOS, reboot, enter BOIS, disable onboard.
Or better yet, while its running like that, unplug from the graphics card and plug it into the HDMI coming out of your Motherboard.

 

Is it possible the CPU isn’t compatible with that board using the specific BIOS version that’s written on it?

I would update the mobo to the most recent BIOS with the old CPU installed. Then retry the new CPU. Assuming you know it’s compatible. I know the AMD chips are typically a little more forgiving/accepted across a wider generation range, but BIOS has to be specific version for BIOS to ACK the CPU.

 

Put the old gpu in and now I'm on my bios screen.

 

I looked it up and it IS compatible, but there wasnt any specific BIOS version mentioned.

 

Uhh, it just shut itself off.
