MSI H61M-P21 (B3) bootlooping

[radouz]

Hello everyone, and thanks for this forum,

I tried to update BIOS on my H61-M B3 mobo and something went wrong. After updating I had no video signal. I tried reseting CMOS through JBAT01 and removing baterry with no result. It is only bootlooping. When I connect USB drive it is trying to read from it and the pc stays on. 

Thanks for any help

Maybe these will help you, if not you need CH341A flash programmer and SOIC8 test clip cable, both about $2.50 on ebay

Good luck, hope you can get it! If not, the recovery tools are cheap, but long wait on shipment unless you spend more $$ and purchase locally or from sellers with faster shipping for more $$

So I finally got the USB programmer and I have taken out the motherboard but I am struggling to find the BIOS chip? Does anybody know, where is the chip located? Thanks

Buy a jspi1 connector can make it more easy.
