Hi, I have D1800 BTC without onboard VGA connector. On it there is 1.00 BIOS, what is the best BIOS to load? Is available a simply HOW TO to do the upgrade.

Cheers W M
If you got the version without onboard VGA (like me) get the "101" bios available here: http://www.onda.cn/MotherBoard_Supports.aspx?id=369

Don't go for the 202 or you'll have a blank screen and will have to flash back blindly.

I see there's a bios that "fixes Vega compatibility" but I haven't tried it, I don't know which board it's for and personally I use 6x Vega 56 (flashed to 64) using bios 101 and they work perfectly.

Looking at bios I noticed only 4 gpu pcie settings displayed ‘0-3’
Shouldn’t there be 6? Ie 0-5?
Nope.

My board is also missing the gpu express slot plastic locking clips.
Card locks should be present to fix your cards on pci-e slots.

My d1800 board has just arrived.

Looking at bios I noticed only 4 gpu pcie settings displayed ‘0-3’

Shouldn’t there be 6? Ie 0-5?

My board is also missing the gpu express slot plastic locking clips.
I’m worried I’ve been sent junk/reject unit.

I’ve tried running on smos and but no luck. Bios is about as far as I can go.

I have this mb without SVGA output and was flashed OBTBTC22.bin bios.
So, for rollback just pull off all your usb/msata/sata drives and make dos usb flash.

Add to AUTOEXEC.BAT:

Code:
CD ONDA
F.bat

F.bat is:

Code:
AFUDOS J18BTC03.bin /P /B /N /X /shutdown

Your mb shoud be flashed and powered off. Just wait.

P.S.: shutdown.exe you can find in ONDA D1800BTC 201.rar file.

Can anyone please help me with bios settings for Onda D1800 for pcie? I updated to newest bios and it will only read 3 of the cards. I set to default and changed 4g to enable and default video to VGA internal graphics. Also tried optimized defaults and didn't work.

So the new bios update has VGA turned off by default?  I need to try pcie for video?  I have one board no issues 6 cards. Other board could never get 6 cards to have drivers install. So updated bios and went fine. But now no display. Seems like its turning on just no video.

Finally got the new ram in from the seller in China, Lunar new year delayed it.

The new ram works!!

This is the ram that worked.



It boots and I have video with the IGPU.




Won't have time to really do anything until this weekend but I was just wanting to try the new ram to see if thats the problem and it was.

@ MagicSmoker - That solved it! Thanks for the hint! Just need to figure out how to get all the GPUs detected by xmr-stak! Cheesy

I wish I could help you guys having trouble, but aside from not getting the correct memory the first time (Amazon's fault, not mine), and wasting time trying to use one of the GPUs to drive a monitor because the Aliexpress listing specifically said onboard video was disabled (it wasn't, and had to be used, actually) I haven't really fiddled with mine and only once checked the BIOS settings but didn't change any.

I can tell you that a code 99 during boot usually means some critical piece of the mobo hardware isn't working. Perhaps the PCIe bus expander or the like. This would likely be a fatal error unless you can find something set wrong in the BIOS (but, to reiterate, mine was set perfectly for its intended task as a miner).

@Fuzzy Kittens - your issue could be from the new BIOS changing the default video adapter from onboard/integrated to external/PCIe.

I have a ONDA D1800 BTC that I got running using the VGA out and installed an operating system. I tried updating the BIOS to the latest Vega update which went fine, I reset and now I get the POST short beep but no video out through the VGA. Other than no video it seems fine, the OS starts up, I can still ssh into it but I'm not getting any video out. I've tried clearing the CMOS which I'm not exactly sure how to do (reset button in back? blue jumper? remove battery?) but I never get the long beep (I think that's the reset beep?) I'm stumped, anyone have any ideas?

Right. I'm having one of those moments. Damn thing refuses to boot Win10 after gpu install. I've connected everything, and it's a 1600 EVGA psu, so plenty headroom.

Without a gpu win10 boots up beautifully, but adding a gpu to the 2nd or third slot gets me a bios splash, then backlit black. I've tried different pcie cables to the gpu already, this is a fresh install, so no old drivers.

I'm currently assuming it's either a bad gpu (possible) or more likely a bios setting somewhere - anybody have any bios ingenuities to share?

Have you supplied power to all 6 of the molex and sata connectors on the mobo? It won't work without *all* of them powered up. And yes, the molex connectors are labeled incorrectly as power outputs.
I have, all board power is connected and triple checked, 3 molex, 3 sata. Bios reset with gpus in a slot gives me an A2 error. Have removed usb and lp1 connectors in case of short. no dice.

Have fiddled with disabling onboard graphics/setting gpu as primary, tried peg and pcie. Still get bios screen, code 99 bottom corner, then backlit black. Will try another gpu later, but pretty certain it's a bios setting!

Edit: Tried a variety of other rx570s, all have same effect. Win10 boots without gpus. With one or more added, black screen. Specifying 'ssd' instead of 'hdd' gets the same, but with a white underscore on black screen.

Yes all sata and molex ports were supplied power.
I read everything about the motherboard on here and I was supposed to at least get a beep, but nothing at all except the cpu fan spinning.

Well add me to the list with a new D1800 that does not post.

No Lights on keyboard.
Reset a few times.
No beeps, well the mb speaker clicks once but I can barely hear it.
Removed ram and powered up and still no beeps, EVERY motherboard I ever had would beep with no ram if it had an onboard speaker.
Tried a GTX 650 as my video source, still no video.
Also tried two different power supplys.

All it does is turn the cpu fan on and the chassis fans when I had it in its case, and only the cpu fan when it was not.

I'm surprised as many people are having issues with it - I've got probably 100+ of them and haven't had a single issue so far.  Does it beep when it boots?  Prior to the bios being displayed, all of mine beep - so if you're not hearing that, it might not even be making it to the point that the video would be initialized.  You might also try forcing it to beep - normally if you boot with the memory removed, that will cause a POST beep to help you identify the issue, no post beep, then the board is probably no good.

Must be a new batch having issues? I'm having the same problem black screen problem and it doesn't go to bios.
No beeps and I've tried two different power supplies (EVGA GQ 1000W). I'm only able to get the keyboard to flicker once psu is turned on.

I also purchased 3 boards with none of them able to post BIOS.
Serial Number 0493-0495 is my batch.
