Hi all,
Considering the pathetic excuse for a website that Asus has, that I can't even access most of the time because of too much traffic to the troubleshooting sections.
Basically I downloaded all the bios updates, had them ready to go. I used the AsusUpdate Program for windows, I figured it should work well enough considering other people had used it, and that in this day and age you'd think it'd be a non-issue. So I loaded the program up, saved the original bios, loaded a new one and while I had nothing on in the background, I hit next...and the program did its dance.
Now, there seemed to be no issue, other than for the fact that it couldn't complete for some reason, so I left it at that and decided to check some emails. Afterwards I restarted it for the sake of interest, and it wouldn't boot/post! The board is plugged in properly, everything is sweet....the only thing that happens is that the HDD light is on all the time from the moment the computer is turned on. But that's it, nothing.
I have tried everything part from unplugging the PSU and leaving the cmos battery out overnight (otherwise I left it out for an hour) along with the cmos jumper reset for 10 seconds or a bloody hour!
Seriously though, something so damn simple that I've done with other boards without a hitch, could turn into a hidden cost to post it back for repair/replacement.
If there is some sort of magical idea I can use to atleast reset it, I would be greatly thankful.
Although I am an optimist with a serving of realism, I have my doubts about anything other than getting it replaced, I think she's fuzzed! But that's my opinion.
