Anyone tried to put an SSD to a 470K? I think with i can get more good juice from mine , but not sure if Bios will accept it.

There is also the need with a converter ATA to SATA, since i am not aware of ATA SSD's.

ATA SSD's exist, they're just rare.

I haven't tried but I don't like SSD because of their short life-span...

Upgrade failed

I update the bios of my D470k to 2.04a and it works fine with my old clawhammmer, got a new Lancaster (ML-37) installed and it won't boot. Powers on but no display and the fan spins down, as typical, and the notebook just sits there. Did I miss a step? Get a DOA cpu? Works with the clawhammer back in.

...I'm not sure how to take that, thanks for posting the bios btw. A little late but this may be usefull to someone: D470k_2.04a.iso - 1.5 Mb. (the bootable cd I made from it).
I found the following command very helpful.

Possible that you got a DOA cpu. Sorry for not clear enough.

Good command input and the ISO file. Thanks.

Sucess

Got a replacement Lancaster today, works great~!
Guess the first one was DOA, but they replaced it quickly. Props to Starmicro. Overclocked it to 2.1 GHz and undervolted it a bit. Will post any battery life increase after some testing. Thanks guys!

Thanks to all who responded and e-mailed me BIOS 2.04a the included phlash16 utility failed multiple times (my last update was done via DOS boot disk) this time it first failed due to HIMEM being enabled so I ditched that and made a clean boot disk and the phlash16 utility then failed to find the BIOS update... Anyway I used WinPhlash and it went flawlessly. So future reference anyone having trouble with the BIOS update use WinPhlash it's way faster than having to make a boot disc and supports all phoenix bios.

My new ML-40 I bought on eBay for $50 was immediately recognized once the BIOS was updated and it's all working perfectly now. Aside from my BIOS resetting everytime I unplug which it was doing before the update.

As for the swap the descriptions on here of the heatsink don't match mine. Mine is an Arctic Silver looking compound with a Silver foil piece between the compound and the processor to make lifting the heatsink off for cleaning simpler... it also makes changing the compound a moot point since it only connects directly with the heatsink so there is no need or reason to scrape off and change the compound when you put a new processor in.
