My Mobo died... Recommend me a new Mobo

[SpiderX1016]

I tried updating my bios but I forgot to do something and my computer is messed up.... I can't get a bios blank chip because the chip is soldered on.... I need a new Socket 754 Mobo w/ PCI-E unless there is a way to fix it, I'm going to call foxconn tommorow.

I'm not sure about the situation with Foxconn, but usually BIOS flashing doesn't void your warranty... Or does it...? You should probably be fine when explaining them... BTW where do you think things went wrong?

I just sent them an RMA request... but the guy told me BIOS flashing isn't covered.... but wth I used the superupdate(there own program) but once it finished I read the bottom of the readme that it said if you use the superupdate program it would make the motherboard unusable

??? 😕

You might try to flash it blindly... But that's no method of guarantee too... 🙁

Tried that several times but I don't know when its flashing or not....

Hmm too bad... 🙁 Then I'm out of options as well... The thing about their so-called "superupdate" program s*cks...

Well if they don't accept my RMA, I will either bring it to someone to desolder the bios chip and put a new one in or buy a new mobo..

Good luck with it... :thumbsup:
