Board won't work after BIOS flash

All,
    I have K8T Neo MS-6702 Ver 1.0 mother board. I flashed the bios using this .zip file 6702v32.zip which i downloaded from the MSI site. While flashing from the floppy there were no errors. I used Windows XP. now after i flashed when i reboot, all the machine does is blinks the CDROM driver light continuesly & does nothing else.
    From the MSI website, it say i can press Ctrl+Home to make it read AMIBIOS file from the floppy. But Ctrl+Home doesn't seem to do anything.
    Can someone help me here as to how to get back my Bios.
Thanks
Pavan

OK.. i tried the Insert & delete keys nothing happens.
Now going on to the AMIBOOT.ROM file in the floppy.
It says put this file alone in the floppy & reboot the machine & press and hold Ctrl-Home.
I tried this, but the big question is for how long am i supposed to press & hold.
The link from "apple renegade" user suggests that it would take 4 minutes.
i quote from that website.
Quote
AMI: The AMI boot-block BIOS will look for a AMIBOOT.ROM file on a diskette. Copy and rename the correct BIOS file on the floppy and power up the PC. The floppy doesn't need to be bootable. You will see the PC read the floppy, after about 4 minutes you will hear 4 beeps, this means the transfer is done. Reboot the PC and modify the CMOS for your configuration.
Here there is no mention that i need to hold the Ctrl+Home key combination.
Also, when the floppy is being read, would the floppy LED be on. I don't see any indication of the floppy being read.
Also, from the Basic Troubleshoot link in the MSI website it suggested to try the JBAT1 jumper, move it to 1,2 & leave for 15 seconds & put it back 2,3 pins. Tried this but no change.
It was also suggested to pull the  VBAT1, the CMOS batter & keep it out & the system down for several minutes. Did this too & keep the system down for about 5-7 minutes. No change when i put back the battery & restart.
Any other suggestions??
Probably a shift in topic, if i were to get a new motherboard, i would prefer to get the same motherboard, so to pull the CPU off & put it in the new mobo, how do i clean the thermal pad & how to re-apply a new one.
Thanks a million for all your help

  • USB stops working after BIOS flash to ABCN74WW on new Z70-80

    Hi,
    I started with Windows 7 installation on my brand new Z70-80 which worked fine, USB 2.0 ports had been working.
    After flash of BIOS to ABCN74WW USB ports are not working any longer. I already tried soft BIOS reset by unplugging power and battery and pressing the power button for 20 seconds. USB ports are still unaccessible after this, a USB stick flashes for a moment, mouse LED is on, but no laser and no operation at all. Same when I start brand new windows installation.
    Are there known issues with this BIOS version ? Can I undo the BIOS flash ?
    Kind Regards

  • PC won't boot after BIOS flash

    Hi
    A few months back I flashed my BIOS to v2.5. Ever scince, the PC has not been as stable, so when upgrading my gfx card, and pc would crash all the time, I decided to revert back to v2.4.
    When I re-flashed to v2.4, it flashed OK, but when I rebooted, the D-LED's showd 4 red's. According to the manual, this means that the CPU is either damaged or not installed properly.
    The CPU works perfectly, as I tried it in a friends pc, but everytime I turn the power on I get 4 red LED's from the D-Bracket and the machine refuses to boot.
    Does this mean the flash went bad? If so, is there anyway to revive a dead BIOS or do I now have a dead motherboard?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the reply Maesus.
    I tried the BIOS Recovery Feature, but it did not work. I will try to send it to a place that can recover corrupted BIOS's, otherwise if that does not work, I guess I need a new board then.

  • Mouse stops working after BIOS flash???

    I have a K7n2-L mobo and I updated my bios to ver 3.3 from the stock ver. Now when I play games the desktop pointer or hour glass will show up in the game. Also when Im playing Unrealtournament 2003 the mouse will stop functioning for a short time. I have upgraded all my drivers for everything and the bios. In DeusEX I just get the hour glass like something is trying to run but nothing is except the game. It doesnt start out that way in the game it just shows up after a while. In UT2003 I get the pointer after a while. Everything runs great on all other apps it just messes up in the games. BTW I updated all game patches and I even tried running them without the patches to see if it was a patch it wasnt. It never did this befor I flashed the bios. I know you prolly thinking "Then why did you flash them in the first place" well I just thought it would help fix a few problems like the not having a beep at boot. I shouldnt of done it so ok. How can I reflash back to the original bios. No I dont have a start up disk. Im on win 2000 pro and tried to do it like it suggested in the faq with a win 98 disk but it didnt work. So I hope someone can please help. and thanks. BTW my system spec's are. AMD Athalon XP2800+ with Barton core... 640KB total on die cache
    MSI K7N2 nForce2 mobo
    Matched pair...XMS Corsair TWINX 512-2700 DDR ram Dual chan config with heat spreders.

    Use the Live Update option.......then let it find the latest bios file......run the exe file and let it build your floppy boot...But do not boot to it yet...........After the floppy is made open it up and you will see a file named AWDBOOT.ROM file should be abt256k......remember this file.........Now exit and browse the the MSI site of your choice and look for the bios of you choice......3.1/3.2/ etc.....download the file.......Open the file and save it contents to a folder to remember.......Inside........the file you will see something like w6570nms.320(example).......now rename the file to AWDBOOT.ROM........now copy or move this file to the floppy you made earlier..........It will say the file already exists......do you want to replace it and say yes....bla bla.......Now restart the machine with first boot as floppy bla bla.....Hope this helps

  • Keyboard doesnt work after BIOS flash Not even in BIOS!

    I have a touchsmart tx2 1224-ca, I updated to the recent BIOS, using windows 7, and now my keyboard wont work at all, not even in the post screen, or bios. Though the computer does work with my usb keyboard plugged in. Im extremely frusterated at this becuase I got the flash from HP themselves and It screwed it over.

    Hello Thewierd1,
     After flashing the BIOS the keyboard no longer functions, is that correct? I will try to help you with this issue.
    Try restore storing the BIOS, you may have to use the 2nd method if the USB keyboard doesn’t work for you.
    Please respond back at your earliest convenience.
    Thanks

  • REFInd stopped working after BIOS flash

    So I have successfully installed Windows 8 on my SSD while having Arch linux installed on my other internal hard drive. I have been using rEFInd as the boot loader and it was working great until today when i flashed my BIOS to a custom version so I could overclock my GPU. Now when it boots it goes straight into Windows 8 and not to rEFInd. I have no idea why. I know I have flashed the BIOS so i had to reenter the settings I had before such as:
    SATA Operations = AHCI
    Disabled Secure Boot
    Disabled Fast Windows 8 Boot
    Enabled UEFI and Disabled Legacy
    Disabled Legacy ROM support
    These are the same settings I was using before. Please help. I'm sure my Arch install is still there and in tact, i just think my BIOS/UEFI isn't recognizing that rEFInd is installed.

    I think the BIOS update has cleared the nvram. Just boot with your Archiso in UEFI mode, mount your partitions and arch-chroot into the Arch on your harddrive. Then use efibootmgr to check and write a new entry to the nvram.
    I mean something like this:
    # efibootmgr -c -g -d /dev/sdX -p Y -w -L "rEFInd" -l '\EFI\refind\refind_x64.efi'
    Where X and Y denote the drive and partition of the UEFISYS partition. For example, in /dev/sdc5, X is "c" and Y is "5".
    Thank you that fixed it. I didn't even think about using efibootmgr dur dur dur

  • K1 -- CAPS LOCK not working after BIOS flash

    My K1 had to be shipped back to Lenovo for BIOS failure and upon getting the unit back I've noticed the Android keyboard is different, and won't accept a caps lock instruction (?). What's up?

    SOLVED! The technicians apparently switched my keyboard to the Lenovo version I don't like it AT ALL! Horrible keyboard. As for the correct time, I had to go in and reset my TIME ZONE. Problems solved.

  • Satellite Pro C850 wont work after Bios update

    my satellite pro c850 cd wont work after bios update from toshiba.
    what do i do?

    Saying: dont work you mean it does not power up or what do you mean exactly?
    Did you flash the BIOS properly?
    Possibly something went wrong during the update and this means that ROM module isnt flashed properly
    In most cases a special BIOS crisis disk would be needed to get it working
    Not quite sure if you can get it fixed by your own
    Check this thread. Maybe it helps:

  • External keypad won't work after installing OS 7.

    External keypad won't work after installing OS 7. I have a "Zagg" keyboard that won't pair now to OS 7,...Why?

    They do work. I have one and mine is working. Have you tried to reset your iPad? HOlding down teh sleep and home keys until it reboots then try pairing again.
    A slightly more drastic thing is to go into the settings and reset all settings. THe downside, you will need to retweak your device but it can help fix keyboard glitches.

    printer won't work after installing mountain lion?

    Assuming you've first checked Software Update to see if there are any updated drivers and it's still not working, you could try resetting the printing system.
    System Preferences>Print & Scan, Control+Click or Right Click on a printer on the left and select 'reset printing system'. All printers will be deleted and need to be added again.

  • Mission Control won't work after sleeping.  Upon Start up it's fine, but after sleeping it won't work by track pad or keyboard.

    Since updating, Mission Control won't work after sleeping.  Upon Start up it's fine, but after sleeping it won't work by trackpad or keyboard. I'm sure I use Mission Control more than most, so it's really irritating for me.

    No, the versions of iPhoto on the iPad and on OS X are totally different.
    What Apple ID are you using for the Mac App Store? Who else has access to that Apple ID, or what possible other Apple IDs could be in use? It's possible you'll need to purchase iPhoto to get the upgrade, though I'd think Software Update should offer you the correct version.

  • Apache won't work after 10.5.2 update

    Apache won't work, after I installed the 10.5.2 update.
    When I type the following in the terminal: sudo apachectl -t
    I get a error:
    /usr/sbin/apachectl: line 81: 711 Segmentation fault $HTTPD $ARGV
    Does anyone know how I can solve this?
    thank you!

    I too had the same problem after the auto update 10.5.2 - specifically the 2008-002 update broke my machine in a number of areas.
    I downloaded the package and ran it, this seems to have mopped up the problems caused my the first run.
    The update is located at:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/security_updates/
    Look for 2008-002 (Leopard) it's about 50MB.
    Hope this works for you too.

    Second problem is the iCloud on Safari doesn't work as I get the error message as the screenshot above.

  • HT204350 scanner won't work after upgrade

    scanner won't work after upgrade

    Hey srohall,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with your scanner after updating to OS X Mavericks. To troubleshoot this issue, we’ll want to follow the same troubleshooting steps for printers:
    Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3147
    Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
    1. Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
    2. Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
    3. Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
    4. Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
    5. Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
    If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
    1. Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
    2. If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again.  Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
    3. Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.
