Post subject: Unique Problem: MB Dead after BIOS Update |
 |
|
I attempted to update the AWARD BIOS on a old ECS L7MM2 motherboard (eMachines) that I wanted to use as a home back-up server. After updating the BIOS with the included Windows Flash utility and BIN file downloaded from ECS, the motherboard will not POST upon start-up.
After flashing, I come to find that the same board, with the same model number and same rev number came with two difference clock generators: ICS and RealTek. Not knowing, I flashed my BIOS (mine = RealTek C/G) with the version intended for ICS C/G.
The motherboard does get power, the HDD does spin-up but no video screen, POST beep or floppy seek. Is this motherboard trashed?

| Check if the bios chip is on socket. If yes, then you can have it reprogrammed. If not, then go get a fresh motherboard...

Yes, the BIOS chip is surface-mounted. I've concluded that there's nothing I can do. I need to just throw it out.
