Heya, I have a full tower AT-form case which is being used for another project here I've posted about. It has the LED screen (not LCD, the one made of LED segments) which I would like to set to display "4" normally and "8" with turbo button pressed. The turbo button connects to the screen to adjust what it says; jumpers configure the actual numbers. I can't seem to find any references to this online, or I just don't know what to search for. Can anyone help me please? Photos available if requested. I imagine this was a standardized thing at some point. Thanks Kishkizzle

You would have to track down the instructions for that particular case as they were all different. I wouldn't worry about it to much though. Those displays were little more than gimmicks which didn't actually do anything. The Turbo button just changed the clock frequency of the CPU to slow it down for some DOS games that wouldn't run correctly at higher speeds. At higher speeds were are talking 80486 speeds at around 100 MHz. Stuart

Aw, well, thanks. I was hoping maybe the configuration was universal. I'll monkey with it through trial & error, ultimately it is not important but I just don't want the screen dead when it's on. Seems to be a completely generic case, and to make matters worse the panel with the display goes in a 3.5" opening, meaning hundreds of case varieties could have used the same one, but no way to identify it specifically.

I have 2 or 3 of those. The trial and error method is about the only option; but, it is pretty exasperating when you need to move 10-20 jumpers to try for the desired results. Some will go up to 99 on the display but I've seen a couple that wouldn't go past 25 or 33. I do recall downloading instructions/jumper settings for one about 6 or 7 years ago...I think it was for a Digital brand workstation. Maybe this page will help http://www.amsky.com/%7Ecirkuit/com...

Thanks, that kind of inspired me. I actually burned out a few segments of the LCD...no idea how, was hooked to +5V...the norm. So I dug out a second case with display, and the info you provided helped, but not directly. I was able to determine the letters were switched with letters, for example I had a "2" pin appear 3 times...2 being one of the segments, and there are three digits on the display. Anyway, I got it to successfully display "4" on one digit and "8" on another dependent on switch position. Thanks, problem solved...just means I'm using a different case. I know its a superficial thing but it adds to the experience lol.

Yeah, it's frustrating trying to configure those. I usually ended up pulling their power wire, figuring no display was better than the wrong display.

Glad you got it sorted out. I'll continue to use the DAVEINCAPS method or stuff an old zip drive in the slot. Skip
