DG965SS BIOS update total failure

[LeBaux]

Hi, I am seeking help here, because I am completely out of options, depressed and despred. Any help will be apreciated.


I was upgrading my bios with EXE file on XP SP3

My pc turned off and starts up and the screen was blank, so I waited (i have readed the instructions carefuly)

I have waited for 30 minutes but nothing happend

So I have restarted the pc, but everything was blank again (also no signal to keyboard or mouse or monitor, just all the keyboard LEDs blinked once) but inside was everything working (fans are spining, green LED is on, harddisks are working too)

I have dissconnected all periferials and plug usb mouse with reduction in ps2 and nothing happend

Then I have tried reseting CMOS, I have unplugged the battery for 20 minutes and nothing happends

Then I tried to recover BIOS, with CD-boot method (with removed BIOS Configuration Jumper, or plugged)

And now I ve disconected my VGA and switched to onboard adapter and still is everything acting like disconnected

I bought a new battery to motherboard, and checked if is charged

Last thing I have tried is replacing power supply, but this wont work


Anyone have any kind of advise? Please...


My pc is my workspace and without it I am lost.

Thanks for your time.

It sounds like the BIOS flashed badly and as such it can no longer complete the initial POST before booting your PC.

Is the BIOS chip removable on that board? (should be the square chip with a holographic sticker on, probably will say pheonix on it)

If it is, you can order a new BIOS chip already programmed with your boards BIOS so you just need to swap it out and it'd work straight away.

unfortunatelly there is no chip like that on the board... I guess i will have to buy a new motherboard... if nobody knows how to resolve this issue, can you atleast recommend me some mobo? 755 chipset, mATX, 4x1gb (1033mhz) ddr2 ram. Thanks for your time.
