K9AGM2-L - where's the BIOS chip ?

I just bought a MSI K9AGM2-L. I can't find the BIOS chip of this mainboard . Could you help me find this BIOS  ? What kind of BIOS did MSI use ?

I'm not quite sure on that MB as I don't have a picture of it but on the boards I have seen it is near the lower left corner. It has an AMI BIOS so look for a chip that has somthing like that printed on i.t
Picture of K9AGM2-L:
I think it using a new BIOS chip, maybe FLASH chip.

  • Where is the bios chip located in the Equium A210-1C4?

    Have replacement bios chip for this model, but not sure where the bios chip is located on the motherboard?
    Any assistance appreciated.

    The BIOS chip is soldered onto the mainboard, you just can't replace it. It also needs to be programmed before usage using a special EPROM machine..

  • Where is the BIOS chip located on MSI B75A-G41

    I need to replace the bios-chip on  MSI B75A-G41. Anyone know where the chip is located?

     I thought the BIOS would be the chip with the red dot on it like on other MSI MBs.

  • Using K7T266 Pro2, Where is the BIOS Protection?

    I am using K7T266 Pro2 (MS-6380 v2.0) with BIOS update 3.70. I was reading the manual and suddenly I found a interesting function “BIOS Protection”, quote from manual:
    Quote
    This function protects the BIOS from accidental corruption by unauthorized users or computer viruses. When enabled, the BIOS’ data cannot be changed when attempting to update the BIOS with a Flash utility. To successfully update the BIOS, you’ll need to disable this Flash BIOS
    This is a really useful function but the problem is that I cannot find it! According to the manual it should be in the Advanced Chipset Features section, below the “PCI Delay Transaction” function. But when I go to my BIOS setup there is nothing below the “PCI Delay Transaction” function. And so I ask my self “where is the BIOS Protection feature?”, I checked threw all the other sections but I could not find it… Please help me, where is this function? Doesn't it include in the new BIOS update 3.70? Is anyone experiencing the same problem?

    But why haven't they included the BIOS protection feature in the newer updates? It's not like it would demand more programming becouse it already works for ther older BIOS version. And the feature is really great for protection agains BIOS killing viruses! so whats the harm of including a great feature that already includes in the older version? I guess that many don't have the answer, but If you don't do you have any suggestions of why MSI didn't include this feature in the newer BIOS version?

  • Where is the BIOS setup? - Satellite Pro 490XCDT

    my wife has a pre-historic notebook 490XCDT and yesterday she came home with a brand new WLAN card
    >> please, best husband of the world, install this <<
    she said, and now its me who struggels for hours with this sh...notebook :/
    it might help if I could get into BIOS settings, but when I press ESC during power on, this model just say:
    >> check system and press F1 <<
    If I do so, the "system" boots (WIN98) and no BIOS setup is available
    what can I do? (exept recycling, devorce, etc...)
    Jake

    Hi
    I agree with you. This unit is pretty old.
    Are you sure that your wireless LAN card is compatible with your unit?
    Which card did you use? minPCI or PCMCIA WLan?
    You have suggested that your unit is preinstalled with Win 98 OS. Well, Im sure that you need also a right driver.
    As far as I know the ESC is a right button to enter the BIOS but check other possibilities; F2 or F12.

  • Where are the BIOS update release notes - Satellite P300-Q01

    I have a Satellite P300 Q01 - there have been two BIOS updates since I bought it W360 and W390.
    Where can I find the release notes detailing what is fixed/changed in each release?
    Thanks

    Unfortunately you will not be able to find them. :(
    I don't understand why but this info is not published.

  • How to move recovery partition to sd and where are the bios upates?

    Hi,
    Im a newbie. Firstly how do I move the recovery partition to my micro sd? Secondly, when I try to find support drivers, bios updates etc, the encore doesn't appear as an option, it only list notebooks!
    Tia
    Olly

    I need some help with this also. The Toshiba utility Create Recovery Media won't back the recovery partition up to an SD card. It wants a USB drive. Why in the world would a tablet back up to a USB device when it only has an SD card?. I've seen some extremely laborious processes to create another kind of recovery partition. I'm out of space on my 32GB Encore and I need to get the recovery partition off of the C: drive. Help anyone...??? Thanks!

  • Satellite Pro A200 (PSAE4E) - BIOS chip location

    Does anyone know the location of the BIOS chip on this Toshiba or have an image of something similar so I know what I am looking for? I have taken out the motherboard and despite a sticker that says ISKAA V1.20 BIOS, AAB4, U52 I cant find it (assuming U52 refers to the chip number).
    Dead laptop after a failed BIOS update so investigating getting another reprogrammed if I can find where the chip is.
    I didn't actually want to update the BIOS - I run the Toshiba BIOS util to see what version I had installed (I think every other BIOS util I have used allows you to see this info before doing anything) - the sire lists v5.6 for XP but v2.6 for Vista (haven't heard of different BIOSes for different OS's before. The Toshiba util went straight into programming - no info, no warning.
    It's not worth the cost to replace the mobo and environmentally I would prefer to at least try the chip replacement (perhaps if anyone from Toshiba is reading this and they would prefer that environmentally it would be better to try than chuck it away, then they might feel inclined to let me know where it is!)
    Any info gratefully received.
    Cheers
    Rob

    Well Paul at Grains sent me a new programmed BIOS next day and it all worked perfectly. Being only 8 pins witha decent soldering iron it wasn't hard, and you don't even have to remove the motherboard as you can get to the PCMCIA mechanism retaining screws via the second hard disk slot.
    So to recap if you have killed your BIOS:
    You can pay a Toshiba ASP 150+VAT for a new mobo, plus 90+VAT fitting, plus 30 P&P
    or
    Get a new BIOS from GRAINS for 14 total inc P&P
    He will fit for I think about 50 plus postage, but that is still a lot cheaper and it you are out of warranty a good option.
    Hope the info helps someone else.

  • Delta-L seems to be killing BIOS chips.

    Long post, but please read.
    I had (stiil have) a Delta-L, and it ran fine about a year or so.
    After this time, ramdom/massive lockups begun.
    After some time it died (in truth the bios chip got corrupted,and SURELY it was corrput, tried everything, even took out batteryfor a day, cleaned the entire mobo).
    So i bought a BIOS chip with 5.8 bios version in it.I placed it on the board and it revived.After a day or so it died again.
    Then I bought better PSU (its a Seventeam 420, I believe it's good PSU) to run my new mobo AN7.
    Now I got a bios chip (49lf020a 2Mbit) and hot-flashed it with 5.8 bios and  Uniflash said the process was
    succesful.
    So I put the in Delta-L (now using the new PSU) but it didn't come to life (shows Red-red-green-green or maybe green-green-red-red).
    But CPU is perfect as memory is (theyre the same ones I'm using in AN7).
    I believe that using bad PSU for about a year may have damaged something in the mobo.
    Now why I believe it's killing BIOS chips.
    After the Delta_L didn't came to life, I tried to reflash it with AN7, but now UNIFLASH shows red things in the progress bar.Looked like this http://img194.echo.cx/img194/9025/imagem8nr.jpg.
    I even tried another brand new chip and it seems to have been killed by the mobo again.
    The question is..
    What is probaly damaged in the mobo??? I want at least to try replacing it.
    Of course CPU (and heatsink) and memory was placed correctly.And I don't belive it's VGA related since the code taht d-bracket shows is the same even if I take CPU or memory or VGA out, or even take the BIOS chip out.No beeps at all, nor
    bootblock trying to access floppy.I tried it outside the case to prevent any shorts.
    I believe IT MUST BE something related to BIOS cause the first time it died replacing the chip for a brand new one (with 5.8) revived it, but only for a day (and the first time it died the code in d-bracket was the same as now).

    Quote from: Fredrik Åsenius on 15-May-05, 08:00:16
    There are no unused stand-offs left behind the mobo, or a wire poorly isolated, pulling power all the time.
    Is the memory well in place?
    You are not sure, but might this be the lamp post  you got:
    "4 BOTH BOTTOM RED
    Decompressing BIOS image to RAM for fast booting"
    "Now I got a bios chip (49lf020a 2Mbit) and hot-flashed it with 5.8 bios and Uniflash said the process was
    succesful. So I put the in Delta-L (now using the new PSU) but it didn't come to life (shows Red-red-green-green or maybe green-green-red-red)."
    I'm tired: How did you flash the BIOS chip if it wasn't on the Delta board? What good would that do?
    I tried reinsert memo lots of times, but It seems to have nothing  to do with memo, cause no matter if I take out memo, vga, or even CPU, the d-bracket always shows the same code and no beeps at all.
    And I hot-flashed the chip with my AN7.Quote from: Glenn on 15-May-05, 08:26:18
    Yep, board's probably fried.... Get an RMA
    Is it possible for me to RMA it since the store where I bought  only gave 1 year warranty?
    How can I test those little (some are about 0.08x0.03inches and some are bigger) components to check if they-re working? At least I would have some clue on how to fix this mobo.

  • Has anyone ever succesfully used the bios recovery feature?

    i have a p35 platinum that im working with, cant get it to do right. so i was wondering anyone. ever? on any board? seems like as much as i paid for this thing it would work.

    it depends on the severeness of your system. In most case, where BIOS is destroyed/corrupted completely, there is really no way for recovery except changing the BIOS chip. Some the damange is not that worse and it's still possible to do the recovery.
    and yes, it did work for me before. and of course, it didn't work for some of my systems too.

  • Envy DV7 7212nr - I need the BIOS backup file.

    Hi,
    I installed the Lojack software on my laptop and the windows stopped working and started showing a blue screenerror. Because of this my laptop don't work and I can’t restore or reinstall Windows.
    My laptop is a Envy DV7 7212nr.
    The only solution is to rewrite the BIOS chip. But the BIOS file that HP provides to download can not be written directly to the chip because it is very large and can only be used when the laptop is running normally (this is not my situation).
    So I need a BIOS backup's file to get record the BIOS chip. But as I don't have this backup file, I need another laptop like mine to get this BIOS backup file.
    So I need someone who has this laptop help me.
    Please, if you have the Envy laptop DV7 7212nr and you know make a backup the BIOS, please send this backup file it to me.
    If I do not get this BIOS backup file, I will not have to fix my laptop.
    Recalling that the file that HP offers for download not work. I need the file obtained by backup BIOS directly of a laptop Envy DV7 7212nr that is running normally.
    Thank you.

    This is the process to rollback to working version of BIOS.
    1-Immediately after powering on hold/tap the Esc key.
    2-When the menu appears, tap F2 for System Diagnostics.
    3-In the list of items will be BIOS Management.Use the arrow key to move down & highlight it.Press Enter key.
    4-You should now have a Rollback BIOS option.Use arrow key again to highlight and press Enter key.
