[HELP] Supermicro X8DTi-F dead after BIOS updating

[LeonR]

First and foremost: Please excuse me if I'm posting on the wrong area.

I've bought a couple of those boards from decomissioned systems for my personal use. Tried with a 56xx CPU, no boot. Both boards would boot only with a 55xx. Went to Supermicro site, downloaded the BIOS. Update went fine (no errors) but the board didn't boot after a reboot. Tried the CTRL + HOME key with renamed BIOS on a flash drive, no luck. How can I get the board back to life (and updated)?

I've been using the other board with a 5506, but those CPUs are very anemic (I've got two pairs of high-end Xeons to use on those).

FYI, both boards are on Rev 1.02.

Thanks.
