Hello,
Here is the issue, I purchased my TH7II-Raid back in Feb. It has been a solid board. However, I recently noticed that one of the LED's on the MB is missing. It is the one that lights up for HD access. To clarify, this is the LED on the MB, the external light works great. The LED is just missing, with no evidence of damage. It just looks like the light was never placed on the board, as the two solder points are there, not the bulb. Newegg has offered an RMA, but is this really an issue?
One more question. I have went through three 3.5 floppies with this new board. When I first hook up the floppy, it is recognized in the BIOS, but will not read correctly till after several (20-25) boots. Though I only use it for BIOS Flash, it will quit reading properly after a few uses. I have tried different model floppy drives, new cable, the works. Right now my drive is working, but I expect it to die within a month or so. I have build many systems, but this is my first ABit board. I have never seen anything like this before. I KNOW I an hooking it up correctly. I will say that after I remove the broken drives from the Abit board and try it in another machine, it is really dead. I just can't believe that the motherbaord could be causing the drives to destroy themselves. Wierd problem, I know.
Anyway, thanks for any advice. FYI, Using the latest "official Bios".
