Help! MSI-6309 BIOS flash failure

[s00ner]

I tried to flash the BIOS to ver. 1.5.
The progress bar filled in completely, but I rec'd the message "BIOS flash failed" or something like that.
The fans power on and that's about it. No video sync, no attempt to access the floppy, no hard disk activity.
I've tried the recovery procedure listed on the MSI web site. However, it has no effect since the floppy is never accessed.


Any ideas?

First try clearing the cmos and resetting the flash jumper. Then WWW.badflash.com or maybe MSI Tech Support, or any other bios service except unicore.

If you can't get it reflashed correctly, you can get a new bios from http://www.midcocomputers.com/ .
