Re: Computer troubles...
If it makes you feel better, I bricked a supermicro C7Q67 a few weeks ago. I went to do a routine updating on a board that the 'tree' gave me. It went through the motions of updating, never post'd again.....its now an I5 paper weight. SM support actually let me down on this one, basically told me to go pound sand....apparently this board is known for flash failure incidents...there was a thread here about it!

Re: Computer troubles...
Before flashing C7Q67s it's critical to observe Read_This_Before_Flash.txt from within BIOS Zip
Unfortunately (NotSo)SuperMicro seem to have included this warning only in BIOS 2.1a and later
Essentially one must disable Management Engine before doing BIOS update
If not, same outcome as doing BIOS update from command prompt within Windows in the old days<--- Badcaps.net Founder

Re: Computer troubles...
, when I reflashed second of the two C7Q67s from thread you referenced, I recall no reboot and having that sinking feeling after all the drama with the first
However, unlike the first, the second didn't light up its CATERR LED and I recovered it by following SuperMicro BIOS Recovery instructions (BIOS image on USB flash key and Ctrl&Home IIRC)better to keep quiet and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubtComment

Anyway, I tried first to recover it using the BIOS recovery method quoted by pfcom below.
However as pfcom says it seems whenever the CATERR LED is lit you're basically fucked, and it was on this board...
So I desoldered the little Macronix MX25L6406E BIOS chip and flashed the latest BIOS using my Willem GQ-4X programmer and the ADP-081 adapter.
Board POST:ed just fine after that endevour: It should be illegal to not put a socketed BIOS chip or a ICSP port so it can be programmed, but I digress.
Thanks allot TC for the board!
Yup, it sure seems that way!
I do wonder if the JPME1 jumper that must be shorted when flashing the BIOS on this board actually is the same as the NSA uses to disable the ME on their boards?
It seems like that might be the case, when I have some time I'll see if the board works with that jumper there. (I know the NSA uses a software switch but that also exists in the BIOS, but it's temporary as I understand it).
Being a slow learner, when I reflashed second of the two C7Q67s from thread you referenced, I recall no reboot and having that sinking feeling after all the drama with the first
However, unlike the first, the second didn't light up its CATERR LED and I recovered it by following SuperMicro BIOS Recovery instructions (BIOS image on USB flash key and Ctrl&Home IIRC)"The one who says it cannot be done should never interrupt the one who is doing it."Comment

by STKR123As the Elitebooks (820, 840 all gens) only show flashing Power LED and flashing CapsLock (continuously) + a very soft "ticking" noise near the DC Jack,
I wonder if re-flashing the BIOS might be of any use here.
As far as I understood, steady flashing either means insufficient power or a CPU/GPU/Motherboard issue. I use the original 65watt power supply.
There are so many threads out there, but most of the solutions involve flashing codes, which I dont have or claim that you MUST use the original power supply, do a hard reset, reseat the RAM, clean the RAM,... -
by gurujihey all,
i have this board earlier it was dead no power i changed the smc and all worked fine.Then after 5 days the customer gave back with it stuck on sleep mode.
so i checked the rams then checked all voltages they are all fine.Put another smc and also programmed the bios.Still same issue.the funny part is when i remove the rams i get long beeps indicating no ram, but still the sleep led is on continuously.I get plt_rst 3.3V ok.also LPC_ad0 ,ad1 ad2 ad3 all communicating. also i see bios communicating.
I just narrow it to 2 issues now pch or cpu has anyone faced this problem...10-19-2023, 08:17 AM - Loading...
