Problem with Asrock H170M Pro4

[Aliencomputres]

Hi,

Have two of this mainboard brand new.Both power up but no screen.


I ll put two cpu,two psu and many bars of ram.If i take off the buzzer no beep.

Try to write bios chip with first or last bios on the Asrock site,my programmer EZP 2019 said file its too long .

https://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/H170...ex.ro.asp#BIOS

Original bios bin it was on mainboard chip saved.

Thx.

The instantflash bios version is the correct size,after extracting it from the zip. Its a problem with your programmer or programmer settings. Try also renaming the bios to .bin , .rom .Post your bios backup here .

The bios is corrupt,its from an MSI Z97 Gaming 5. Anyway, its the wrong bios,wrong size bios chip .

Re: Problem with Asrock H170M Pro4

Ok.
The bios chip on the mb is 25L12873FPI.

Re: Problem with Asrock H170M Pro4

The 25L12873F is a 128MB chip,divide it by 8 ,we get 16 so the bios chip is the right size. According to the datasheet though it has permanent quad enable set QE=1 ,and quad i/o isn`t set in the bios,you can check it if you open the bios with intel flash image toolkit.TheVSSC table in the bios has a winbond W25Q128FV ,the PDIP part number are: W25Q128FVAIG,W25Q128FVAIP,W25Q128FVAIQ,W25Q128FVAIF . The W25Q128FV isn`t in the EZP support list,you might be able to cross reference it with something else that is,then disable the ID check and program it as that, or use a different programmer .

Re: Problem with Asrock H170M Pro4

One of them powering up,and have bios post.
Try later another one.
Inscription on the bios chip on the mb is 25L12873FPI
Programmer identified the chip like KH25L12835F
Flash BIOS with ch341a programmer black and the bios ver 7.20 on official site.-with the original bios chip on the motherboard.

Well, thanks a lot, SMDFlea.
