Hello,

I got a new mobo from Aliexpress for my Aurora r9 and everything was working fine until i did a bios update. It did not work and now i get 3x, 7x, 3x, 6x blinking code. Dell says that is a corrupt bios. So i have the ch341 and software required, i just don't have the bios.bin file.

Since the board is from Aliexpress it doesn't have a service tag, I have a copy of the .exe bios and a copy of my corrupted bios attached. Hopefully this is enough, if anyone is able to help me and requires any more information please let me know.

Thanks [ATTACH]n3332764[/ATTACH]...

Hey there,

did you ever get a solution to this? I have the exact same issue. I messed up a bios update on a brand new motherboard from aliexpress... I suppose maybe i should start my own post.

It is possible, the case didnt look like it had been opened before but you never know. I have a friend that has had some luck with that level of repair but hasn't had time to help me out yet. I don't suppose you'd know where on the board to test?

Any ideas anyone? Or is the concensus its time for a new board?

Ya that is what I figured, Thanks for the help. I imagine i'll be getting a new board for it but still hanging on to the hope of repairing it.

Hello, I have a Alienware 17 r4 with a 7820hk / 1070 gpu. I get 2 red 1 blue error flash which indicates cpu failure. I purchased this computer broken / as is so not sure what the history is. The board and case both look to be in great shape, wondering if it was a failed bios update.

I have a ch341 programmer and have tried flashing the uh4 chip with a known good bios, the first time I did this and tried booting the system it gave a no memory error which made since because I had no ram installed so I thought I had it. But after I installed the ram it did a series of boots and reboots...
