No POST...cant update BIOS

I know there is a known compatibility issue with NeoHE power supplies and Asus boards. Asus and Antec both acknowledge this problem. Sometimes the system will shutdown w/o notice after 3 seconds. Sometimes it'll stay on if the CMOS is reset but its just a blank screen. There's plenty of threads and posts about this issue and recommend updating the BIOS to solve it. The problem is I cant update BIOS if nothing shows up. There are no system beeps either. I've had no luck even with two different cpu, two different video cards, two different memory brands, and an Antec TruePower 430. Any more ideas? Thanks in advance!

list of parts used to test:
Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe
AMD X2 Dual Core 3600+
AMD X2 Dual Core 5600+
MSI Radeon X1950Pro PCI-E
Asus Radeon X1950Pro PCI-E
Corsair XMS (2x1gb)
Crucial Ballistix (2x1gb)
Antec NeoHE 430w
Antec TruePower 430w
 
RMA solved my headaches.

I called the ASUS # on the box but was left on hold too long. So I stopped by their HQ in Fremont, CA and explained my situation. The rep told me they dont accept walk-ins especially without an RMA # but she was nice enough to take care of it.
