Celeron M socket 478/479 How do I tell?

[chylok]

Hello,

I've got a NANO-7270 board which only takes Socket 479 Pentium M/Celeron M FSB 400. I'm using Celeron M processor 370+ FSB 400 but the unit is not booting, I've replaced the processor with another Celeron M socket 479.Still the same problem, the memory is ok, I've tested that. I need to confirm that the processors are actually socket 479, and not 478 as Celeron M's of the same specification. The part no on the processor is RH80536. Is there any way to tell wether I have socket 478 or 479?

All Celeron M/Pentium Ms are socket 479..

that cpu would not fit into a socket 478 or vice versa...

Start off with clearing the CMOS, after correctly installing the processor, as some mobo's do not like to be awakened without having them reset first...

also check to see if the Clear CMOS switch/jumper (located above the only SOCETED chip (BIOS) onboard) is set correctly...

then also you must have a Heat Sink Fan installed and operating correctly, as some mobos do not POST if said HS-FAN is not attached/or functioning...
