a55m-p33 Bios backup needed
#1
Exclamation 
Hey guys, got a kinda wierd question/request. I have been doing tons of research, and trial/errors on my MSI a55m-p33 mobo since it bricked during a flash of modded bios i got from here. I can RMA the mobo but it will cost me just as much as a new one since im positive MSI will void my warranty and charge for shipping back/parts/labor.

My question is, with Mflash utility we can make a copy of the bios that is bootable from usb stick skipping the failed flash and allowing me to re-install the backup. My problem is that i avoided Mflash and never made a backup of my bios, so i am in need of one. If anyone has backed up thier A55m-p33 bios to usb i would love a copy sent to me so i can use it, or can i even use it?

Next question would be about the UEFI bios, i understand that it is separate of the actual "bios", am i correct? If so is there a way that i can force it to boot over the bios and possibly reflash that way.

If none of these options are available does anyone know where the actual bios chip is located so that i may purchase another if need be. I have extensive hardware knowledge of PC's and have a soldering gun so i should be ok.

Basically i have tried all of the options available to the home user, the ctrl-home attempt to reflash and even bought a ps2 keyboard just to try it. Problem is, once the mobo starts nothing works. The procy still gets hot meaning it is working, but no usb, sata, or other ports are working. I have read that if i can get into the bios enough to allow network boot then i can possibly boot that way and flash it.

Pretty much i'm looking at 28$ to ship to MSI, 28$ to ship back plus whatever cost they charge for thier service/chip. Just the cost of shipping alone is more than the mobo brand new so thats not an option. Seeing as AMD is about to get rid of FM1 socket i would prefer fix this mobo, then buy a new mobo and build a pc from that, buying pieces slowly since i am a "starving artist" lol. Pretty much open to any and all options to help me unbrick this P.O.S. Which btw is my first and only MSI product i have ever had problems with.


I did flash my mobo the day the 2.0 bios came out, which was before they added the "only update if using Windows 8". When i flashed using the manufacturers bios file it updated fine but stayed at 1.17 version, and the system ran fine. A day later i flashed to the modded bios that TheWiz suggested, during the flash "i was using phone as usb drive" the pc restarted causing my phone to require me to "enable USB" and the flash failed. I have tried everything since to get the bios to post and still no luck.
