Flash gone wrong asus m3a32-mvp deluxe/wifi

[Jin01]

well while trying to flash bios using the ez update thing. light went out before it could complete. now all am hearing is 1 beep an it keeps repeating.

Thats really unlucky, I'd be so p1ssed

I had a similiar thing happen to me, I was flashing my BIOS and my mum turned the power off and after that the mobo did absolutely nothing, so i got her to buy me an upgrade ( a ASUS P5Q-E) at the time.

Have you spoken to ASUS about the problem, maybe they know what the beep means, Or maybe it says in the manual.

Good luck buddy hope it works out alright.

yea it must means something i was thinking of ordering a bios chip an see if that works

Sorry to hear that Jin01!! Been through it myself. Here's where I went http://www.biosman.com/ Contacted them Friday at 3:00 PST and was back up and running Tuesday morning (via UPS). Then I sent the chip I wiped-out back and had it reprogrammed for a back-up, now I have a spare.
Shipping, handling the "Whole 9 Yards" $37 Totoal.

Yeah seems worth a shot, pretty cheap aswell.

 

[Jin01]

yea i saw them on ebay for $6 + shipping

I have the same board and never had any problems flashing it, have done most of the updates in windows and always kept up to date with their bios releases.

Unlucky mate, I hope you get it sorted, its a really nice board too.

 

[Rustyy117]

so can you just remove the old chip and put the new one in, or do you have to get out the soldering iron??

 

[Boxa786]

No clue, hope that somebody who has done this before can answer it.

so can you just remove the old chip and put the new one in, or do you have to get out the soldering iron??

yea just remove it with your hands only no screw driver or metal

 

[Jin01]

no soldering iron needed cause its removable by hand

 

[Rustyy117]

ah good stuff, so hows it all going, have you ordered your new BIOS chip??

 

[Jin01]

[Jin01]
