I tried closing all the L1 bridges using a 2h 0.3 mm lead. I was very careful not to overlap between bridges, so that's not the problem.
Anyways, I tried starting up my computer, and I just hear this infernal beeping, and nothing else happens.
When I erase the pencil markings everything works again.
What could I be doing wrong in unlocking my 900 Mhz T-Bird?
Thanks for the help.
What kind of motherboard? If you unlock it, the board (if there's no support to change multys) will not know what on earth speed it is.

oh yeah, the motherboard is msi k7t-pro2a. Will that work?
I have the same mobo and I was having problems with the pencil trick as well.
True story but I used a 0.5mm pencil when I got it to work. You need to run over it a few times and make sure that nothing is touching. If you are getting consistent beeps like I was afterwards check what the multiplier,FSB, and voltage are in the Bios when I set them to high that was when I got the beeping. Also you could use the fuzzy logic to five you an idea at what FSB you can run with out a lockup. Fuzzy logic will not change the multiplier tho.
Hope that was some help.

once you are there....
It's a beautiful thing
Maybe with the .3 mm lead, it's not enough to connect them. Try .5mm instead

hey, i had the same problem and the same board as you. This problem happened to me when i was trying to overclock it quite high, then when i reboot i got the same problem. I think you should use a .5mm pencil.
Oh, and also erased the pencil markings and then it would boot back at my default duron 700.
