Are you shure the first beep, is not a little longer , sir ?
looks like exactly the same problem.

I suspect bios error or video error. But how to uppgrade bios when the PC is not making trough post test

All three beeps equal long.Shure

Manual states you can intercept the POST test , by holding the delete key down, have you tried this ? (im not not able to try it at the moment).

Anyway to renew BIOS without passing POST ?

thanks

I think spresso uses AMI BIOS. The maual describes how to reset BIOS-> You take out the battery, move a jumer, and back...

thanks again

[quote=Koen]There is no tv out on the s-presso. On your tv card you only have a video in connection. The only out is vga. So you'll need an agp card but then Instant-on doesn't work anymore. No luck. I found on a french forum someone claiming that his asus MX4000 agp card works with instant on. My nvidia based MSI card doesn't work with instant on (as specified with the yellow sticker on the box).
Very curious if the asus mx4000 really does work, that would be worth considering. Maybe if someone can get his hands on such a card to give it a try, I think many people would be interested.]

Well de FAQ at Asus states very Clear:

Q: Can TV card of Spresso SP-111 support TV-out function?
A: No, TV card of Spresso SP-111 only supports TV-in function.

I just ordered a mx4000 and i'll see

I tried to mount the InstantOn partition on Linux, but i discovered that it is partition type 88. Who knows how to mount this partion under Linux or WinXp ?

Maybe i have to edit the partition type. I can hardly imagine that Asus has developed her own partition type

I think this espresso is going back in. If this error is a weak point in the construction, I guess i chooce something else.
Not my cup to tea.
