Hi there,
Working on a project bringing an old Toshiba Satellite A300D PSAK0C-SH808C back from the dead. Upgraded its processor from the stock AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-64 to TL-68. Ever since, the BIOS emits two loud beeps on startup that throws a generic read error. I'm able to press F1 to proceed to boot Windows and from there everything runs normally, so I suspect that simply because the BIOS does not expect the new part ID, it's throwing the error even though the part is compatible.
I don't mind having to press F1 on startup each time I boot, but the beep is the part that really irritates me due to how loud it is. In the current BIOS (Phoenix V2.80 for 32-bit Windows) there's no option to disable the beep. I was wondering if it would be possible to see if:
1) The option to disable BIOS beep might be an unlockable feature of V2.80
2) It's possible to have the TL-68 processor be accepted as valid hardware
I'd happily tinker with any other settings that are unlockable in this BIOS as well if they aren't too much trouble to unlock, but my main focus is the beep. If there's the ability to disable that, everything else is gravy.
Thanks in advance for anything y'all might be able to check out, I really appreciate it!
