Hello & Greetings:

I got a snap 1000v2 mobo and was looking it over with a mag. glass and found something interesting. Don't know if anybody has done this or not. As I was looking at my 1000v2 mobo I saw a green small wire soldered to one leg of the bios chip and this wire leads under and to the IDE controller. Now, that same leg of the bios that has the green small wire soldered to it has a wire embedded in the board going to the ISP controller. Funny thing is, this embedded wire has been disabled by a small div-it that cut in to the surface of the mobo down to the wire embbeded in the mobo which leads to the ISP controller. The wire I believe was disconnected/cut by the factory. There is also one cut/div-it on the back side of the mobo also, but diff. embedded wire I believe. Looks like a small drill came down on the mobo and cut the embedded wire in the mobo. Why do you think they did this. The embedded wire is way to small for me to solder. If I had some mercery then I could put a small drop in the div-it and make the connection. Any thoughts ?? Do you think this ISP could be used as another IDE controller if that wire was reconnected? Check you mobo with a mag. glass around the bios chip and also on the back side too.
