Hello there.
I have (or at least thought I had) an MSI 6719 chipset in my Medion PC and have recently attempted to flash my BIOS using the patched BIOS from the downloads section here, with a view to gaining a resolution of 1280x768 to allow me to take advantage of the highest resolution my HDTV can take via its VGA port. I found the name of the chipset via the latest version of SiSoftware Sandra Lite, and it matched the "MS 6719" displayed during POST.
Strangely enough when I ran awdfl816.exe it displayed the name "MS 6716", however the string (that can be viewed here
http://www.elhvb.com/mboards/OEM/medion/index.html ) matched that of the MSI 6719 (the bios version was 1.1 though, not the latest one found on that website). With the evidence leaning in the way of my PC having the 6719 rather than the 6716 I input the follwoing command:
awdfl816.exe w6719med.bin /f
It overwrote the BIOS and now my computer turns on with no display output, a series of internal beeps and then nothing. I do believe the POST still operates as the LEDs on the keyboard, CD-RW drive, DVD drive and Floppy drive all still light up, and if a floppy is in the drive the computer accesses it.
I did create a back up disk of the BIOS, and have put the original bios onto the floppy containing awdfl816.exe in the hope that I could "stumble around in the dark" and overwrite the BIOS with the original one, however all attempts have been unsuccessful.
Has my motherboard had it? Or could I get around this by buying a graphics card so that I could actually see what I am doing and then flash the BIOS?
All help is appreciated.
