If the chip is VSB-powered, you'd not only need to power down the machine, but additionally unplug it from the wall outlet for a minute or so. VSB is still active when the system is turned off, as long as the system is not properly unplugged. > If you know the trick to clearing it, I'll trade you some new constant > (K) values that make the sensors output agree with the bios readings. > And I'll even toss in the VIA data sheet on the VT8231. I'd hope the unplug trick would do it. If not, and you have a datasheet I can take a look at, there might be a reset bit you can write to that would put the things back in order. Most chips have one. -- Jean Delvare
