BIOS P9X79 PRO Rev1.02 Flashed with a wrong capfile - turns on-off now

[ZixuTech]

Hi Guys, looking for ROM file for this bios so I can reflash the chip.

Can anyone assist? Or if anyone knows the procedure in extracting bin from official roms?


BIOS flashback procedure did not work - https://cdn.badcaps-static.com/pdfs/...f30775332f.pdf

Cheers

Thanks, peste, unfortunately, same behaviour after flashing. Turns on and off within a second and keeps repeating the cycle.

Surely is bios. Any suggestions?

Reflashed the chip with the bin file, I am out of ideas.

This issue happened when user tried to do flashback bios via USB.

Have you come across anything like this with these flashback compatible boards?

@SMDFlea Thanks for the bios file. I tried this process (with the latest non-beta fie from Asus website) it was flashing the LED activity on the USB drive and took probably 10 mins, then stopped. MB still was not loading up.

This one is not even engaging flashing, USB drive blinks once and flashback button stays lit. Renamed the file to P9X79PRO.ROM as per the instructions.


@peste, attached is the original dump.


Thank you guys being on this.

Have you desoldered the bios and flashed with a programmer ?

Hi, this is on the socket and easy to pull. Reflashed the bin file provided by @peste with RT809F serial programmer.
In fact, the original dump above is extracted from the chip.

Any suggestions? - I get similar to this guy - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCIhW-rvMnw

I will use this board in my laboratory. I flash with the latest version of the site and the release version. I didn't do it via USB

I have had 2 of these boards and worked on a few as well. Do you happen to know the last bios number you had on the motherboard before you trued to flash the new one?
