QUOTE(YoungMan @ Jun 19 2021, 01:56 PM) I think it is not costly to take out and reflash the eeprom. You just need to find the right technician that has the tool to do it. Some shop that want to make money will just tell you to replace the whole mobo. Thanks. Let me know if you have any recommendations

This type of specific repairs which locked behind specific tools always cost sky high, RM50-100 sounds reasonable enough. This post has been edited by msacras: Jun 27 2021, 10:55 PM

Plus he made sure all ok, can boot etc. Cos the first firmware he uploaded wasn't ok. The second load only worked.
