Aira looks like a stripped down version of Alpinia looking at pictures, so I'm gonna try it, thanks.
I would still prefer to have the correct BIOS if anyone has it.

Tried to flash directly your dump, it didn't work.
Attached is old dump.

Any idea or anyone has the correct dump?
(might be that the issue isn't the BIOS…)
Thanks

Bought it, sadly it didn't fix it. What was I expecting anyway?

Attached is the "good" downloaded BIOS.

Have you tried the IO chip ,it looks like an ITE ,i can`t see part number though. Heres a list of a few replacement IOs for desktop boards

I got proper VCore and this is an AMD board. Way more chances of the northbridge being dead than the SIO. I don't want to waste my time on this because I know that the chances of it being worthless are too high (ie. it can't be fixed).
Thanks for the help again anyway.

No problem . B.t.w. ,the "good" bios is probably ok,the motherboard is the same, a Foxconn 2AAF 1.00

Ok so I shouldn't have but I came back to this board. BIOS was not being read at all.
I heated the northbridge (215-0674042) to 200°C, the board booted, I cried because it's another board that goes to the thrash bin due to a crappy northbridge. Thanks ATi/AMD.
Can confirm that the BIOS is good though.
