Power on by keyboard on Gigabyte Z68X UD3P

[zujko]

Hello, I'm interested in how to turn on the computer keyboard(sorry for bad English, i hope you understand me)
Keyboard is plugged through ps/2, keyboard is working, in the BIOS I have all configured, but nothing happens...
I read the manual, and says, allows the system to be turned on by PS/2 keyboard wake-up event..Note:"you need an ATX power supply providing at least 1A on the +5VSB lead"..
I have PSU Corsair TX 650W (i have latest BIOS F4)
What is the further procedure, if you can explain?I'm interested in how to turn on the computer keyboard..Tnx

Not possible unless you flash modded bios file. That's what I do with every single bios for every gigabyte board I have used in the last few years. Let me know if you want me to mod the bios for your board. It's really simple. Takes 1 min to make Power ON by Keyboard > [Any KEY] option available for selecting and using it.

ok..say it..

Altho I never had any problems with this mod I gotta say don't blame me if something goes wrong. Just the usual statement.

Get http://www.lejabeach.com/sisubb/cbrom32_198.zip, extract it in the same folder where your bios file Z68XUD3P.F4 is and run this command:

Code: [Select]

CBROM198 Z68XUD3P.F4 /group extract
Confirm the file name.
This will extract the bios menu file _EN_CODE.BIN in the same folder. Open it with your favorite Hex Editor and search for text string "Any KEY    " (without the quotes) and make the following change:



save and exit.
Release the original menu from the bios:

Code: [Select]

CBROM198 Z68XUD3P.F4 /group release
Insert the new modified menu in the bios:

Code: [Select]

CBROM198 Z68XUD3P.F4 /group _EN_CODE.BIN
Flash the modded bios, reboot, go in bios, make your changes, go to Power Management setup and now you will have new option [Any KEY] under  Power On By Keyboard menu. Select it and you will be able to power on the system pressing any key on your PS/2 keyboard. This option doesn't work for USB keyboard. Save and Exit. Done.
Hope that helps.

For what's it worth , it works ok for me.

By selecting power on keyboard: password. I choose the A key.

Now I just press A and it boot's up.

Hardware:

Microsoft wired 500 PS/2 keyboard
z68x-ud3p-b3 bios F4
i3-2120 cpu oc 33x104.6MHz
Corsair TX650 V2 psu

Maybe a keyboard problem?

[nijel]

That works too. I just like to hit whatever key on my keyboard.

[nijel]

Do you get this? You gotta press [ENTER] to confirm the file name _EN_CODE.BIN and it will extract it.

Think you that exist also a byte modification in _EN_CODE.BIN for force startup with PCI and not PCI-e ?

I have found a bug with GA-X58A-UD5 and my HD4850X2 ( 2 * CPU with 4 * DVI but only one PCI-e X16 slot )

My old post :  http://forum.giga-byte.co.uk/index.php/topic,2131.msg10275.html#msg10275

Bios is OK with 2 * HD5770 XFX and a PCI card but not with my HD4850X2 and a PCI card

_EN_CODE.BIN is just the menu, you enable/disable items that already works in some other bios modules. Reading about your problem it looks like there is some bug in the main bios module and it can't be fixed with simple bit switch in the menu module. And as I can see your bios already has Init Display First > PCI as option so there is nothing more that you can do about it.

Ok , i have reported the problem to Gigabyte but absolutly no response or this : my card is too old ( 2 years ) !!

Pierre

-> with my Hexeditor i have found some bytes 01 for PCI / PCI-e slots if i have a little time i look if change anything

[zujko]

Hi, look at this..when i write, CBROM198 Z68XUD3P.F4 /group extract, and press enter nothing happens, just disappear, or maybe I am doing something wrong..hmm..

I use a little script( mode DOS ) for remove and reinsert ( that is for my GA-X58A-UD5 ) because sometimes that is impossible if i reorder not all exactly )

Before i use awardtool 1.52 for dump /  extract the complete bios

exemple :

remove.bat ( remove the BIOS parts )

rem CBROM32 F7.BIN /ACPI release
CBROM32 F7.BIN /OEM7 release
CBROM32 F7.BIN /GROUP17 release
CBROM32 F7.BIN /OEM6 release
CBROM32 F7.BIN /LOGO release
CBROM32 F7.BIN /OEM0 release
CBROM32 F7.BIN /GV3 release
CBROM32 F7.BIN /LOGO1 release
CBROM32 F7.BIN /PCI release
CBROM32 F7.BIN /PCI release
CBROM32 F7.BIN /PCI release
CBROM32 F7.BIN /PCI release

exemple for insert.bat ( reinsert the old or new  parts copied in the same folder of the BIOS but in reverse order )  

CBROM32 F7.BIN /PCI ICHAAHCI.BIN
CBROM32 F7.BIN /PCI ICHARAID.BIN
CBROM32 F7.BIN /PCI JMB10725.BIN
CBROM32 F7.BIN /PCI rtegrom.lom
pause
CBROM32 F7.BIN /LOGO1 dbios.bmp
CBROM32 F7.BIN /GV3 ppminit.rom
CBROM32 F7.BIN /OEM0 sbf.bin
pause
CBROM32 F7.BIN /LOGO 333_bios.bmp
CBROM32 F7.BIN /OEM6 graid.bin
CBROM32 F7.BIN /GROUP17 m9123fw.bin
CBROM32 F7.BIN /OEM7 extbios.bin
rem CBROM32 F7.BIN /ACPI acpitbl.bin

--> for your _EN_CODE.BIN
CBROM32 name_of_your_bios /group /release
after
CBROM32 name_of_your_bios  /group _en_code.bin

that is all but if BIOS is bad , use a script for make the same order as the original ( CBROM32 BIOS /D for look the order )

--> for look your bios you can use : CBROM32 name_of_your_bios  /D

--> for extract : CBROM32 name_of_your_bios  /group extract

I use CBROM32  version 1.15 without problem

[zujko]

sorry, i am just a noob, for this:)
Can you explain in more detail?tnx
