Received RMA board but they put on the wrong bios... nvm fixed

So I posted here after a bad bios flash bricked my P67a-G45.
Walked through some steps and then got an RMA authorization and I sent my board off. I put a piece of paper in with the board asking them to put the latest ME7 Sandy Bridge friendly bios, 1.J on there.
I called for an update during the couple of weeks MSI had it and reiterated that I would like Bios 1.J on it.
Received the replacement board today in a mashed up box with one corner of it curled a bit so I can not use the usb slots right under the ps2 connector.
Also with the latest ME8 bios 5.3.....
Sigh
I don't even care about the damage to the board as I don't need many usb ports and the board seems functional but this bios is kicking my butt. It is super unstable when trying to run my 1600mhz ram at 1600 (same ram I had no troubles with on my earlier p67a-g45) crashing even in the bios. If I try and overclock the cpu at all it crashes. If I leave everything at stock it seems ok but I am not pleased with having to run everything under spec when I had no need to before.
So I downloaded the msi forum bios flasher tool and the latest non-ME8 bios, 1.J, and loaded up my usb stick. rebooted to the usb stick and it tells me there is a mismatch and it fails to update the bios. I have redownloaded the bios 3 times and used 2 different usb sticks to make sure it is not the hardware.
I don't know what to do. I am annoyed that MSI ignored my very simple request and left me saddled with this half-usable board.
I can't afford to resend this board back to them as I need it for my work and have lost a bunch of money already.
If someone could give me a hand I would appreciate it.
Should I use the regular flasher to get the 1.J bios on there since the forum tool is not working?

Nevermind I am extremely tired and kept unraring the file. Read a post where he tells you not too and the correct file. Downgraded successfully and now I am going to go collapse in bed.
This forum rocks by the way...so many helpful peeps and info!

I inadvertantly uploaded documents to wrong icloud account. How do I get them back? They were pulled off my ipad to the cloud, but they're in the wrong cloud. Can I move them between accounts somehow?

I accidently created two icloud accounts when setting it up on my iPad. When I opened Pages, the documents on my iPad were moved up to account1. I realized what I had done and then set up account2, which is the one I really need to work with for all of my stuff (account2 is the one migrated from mobile me).
I then deleted account1 from my iPad. When I opened Pages on my iPad, all of my documents were gone. I can see them online on my mac when I log into account1. I just want to find some way to move them to acc

My ipod was stolen and I was trying to track it via icloud but they've disabled the location services. Will they still receive my "Find My iPod" messages?

If they disabled services, then they disabled Find My iPhone (if they're smart), so you won't be able to track it and/or wipe it. Messages won't work either.

Late 2007 MBP went black screen. I've been told it is the logic board but not due to the Nvidia GPU

My sister's Oct 2007 MBP just died suddenly. Yesterday when she opened Entourage it said it couldn't open because there wasn't enough memory. We rebuilt the Entourage Identity and it then worked fine. It wouldn't shut down though, and when woken from sleep went gray then black. The apple store here in Spain says it is the logic board but not due to the Nvidia GPU, and it's not worthwhile to replace it. Is it possible they are wrong? They also say it will cost about 800 Euros to replace! It's a 2Ghz Core 2 Duo/2GB/256MB, EMIC No: 2136.

I put in the wrong email when creating my apple id. I changed my id on my laptop but my ipad has my old (wrong) email addrss and a password that wont let me sign in

I just got my new I pad, entered all of my information.. after confirmingm y account I realized I had put in the wrong email address. I went on my laptop to change my apple id address, then went to my ipad to purchase an app and it still had my old(incrrect) email address. I typed in the password anyway and it would not let me sign in. I only gave it one password so I don't know why it is saying my password is incorrect. Anywho, THis ipad is a pain in the ***. NEver had a mac before and already its a pain in the ***. I have read a couple of threads that are not really helpful. I read one thread on this site that showed a lady with my similiar issue and she did not get the answer she was looking for. Can some one help me so I can change the apple I.D. on my ipad. The apple I.D. on my computer lets me sign in but not on my ipad; go figure. Good job apple. please help.

i just opened my ipad, started my apple account/I.D. and realized I put the wrong e mail. I was having trouble correcting my I.D on the Ipad so I went to my laptop and make the proper changes/slash e mail address I wanted for my apple ID. I got back to my ipad and try to download an app I can't because I have to sign in my apple account and I can't because it still has the irrelivant I.D/email address..
So, i did what you said.. went to setting>app store> tapped on my e mail.. it asked me to sign in (with my invalid emails address showing). I signed in with the password I had created. It said "incorrect".. I went to reset password. I reset password, tried to sign in and it says again "unvalid password".. this is getting irritating. I have been asking and no one knows what to do.

I've tried looking at my own itunes account but I cannot seem to find the allowance account, it says I currently have zero allowance accounts.
All I want to do is change the assigned email address.

Who is the email provider? Not all accounts can be set up as POP3

TS1368 My child has put in the wrong password on my phone multiple times, my iPhone now says "iPhone is disabled connect to iTunes", But when I try to connect to iTunes on my laptop it says unable to connect due to a password is on the phone? What do I do

My child has put in the wrong password on my phone multiple times, my iPhone now say "iPhone has been disabled connect to iTunes" When I hook my phone up to iTunes, iTunes then says that my iPhone can not be hooked up to iTunes because it has a password on it, but will not allow me to put in a password because the disabled message is still showing.

You may need to put the iPhone into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset the phone and restore/resync your content to it.

Hey ellenkk
The best way to get the songs in the order that you want is to make a playlist and then sync it over. Once the playlist is set, all you have to do is set to sync playlist in the music tab.

You can only obtain warranty OR post warranty service in the country of original purchase
As your iPhone has user damage it has no warranty
IF the iPhone originated from Spain or another EU country you can get out of warranty service in any EU country

What model HD are they putting in the new Mac Pro's?

What model hard drives are they putting in the new Mac Pro's? I need to purchase a second drive in anticipation of a 2.8 I'm ordering and I want to get the same brand and model.

Mine came with the Seagate ST3320820AS_P; however, WDs are also in the mix. And don't forget that the BTO options allow increasing drive size; those may be different makes as well.

Bottom line is that if it's important that they match, wait 'till you can open the box and know for sure.
