Hi so I was attempting to update my bios to a modded version of my bios so that I could run a 771 processor on my 775 socket.
so I followed all the instructions here: http://www.delidded.com/how-to-update-cp...enix-bios/
then used the bios update section here with the phoenix update (Phoenix BIOS= PHLASH)
Little did I know that as far as I have looked now mine is an award bios as it used to say "PHOENIX-AWARDBIOS" in the bios.
Anyway I flashed it and now it wont even POST!
It turns on, no beeps but no POST. not even a big dell logo. nothing.
I've tried all of the bios recovery methods that I can find and nothing seems to work. I've tried to flash it back to the un modded Dell bios using a bootable usb.
Ive tried hard resets. including jumper pins. cmos battery removal. 24 hours with nothing inc battery plugged in.
Still nothing.
The last option I see available is to replace the bios chip with a pre-loaded one.
Is there anything else I can do aside from this?
thanks in advance.
Jon
