Hi any help would be apprieciated,my brother down loaded the latest drivers for my motherboard as he said they were well out of date! downloaded them rebooted and nothing, a sickly beep a little bit of hd action(led) but no boot up,bro said i think ur motherboard is fried,so i now have another motherboard same as old but no boot at all no beeps no hd led any ideas please?
Hi
Sounds like the BIOS corrupted while updating. It's usually easiest to just buy a new motherboard. As for the second one could i please get more information. Is it new? Are you 100% it's plugged in correctly? They usually don't just do nothing. You usually get a sequence of beeps alerting of an error. This may mean a power supply issue.

Sorry i have never heard of them -damian
Just a thought. Since they are both the same model you can try putting the BIOS chip out of the dead motherboard into the half working one. Worth a shot. I can provide pictures of what it will look like if you need. In some cases you may need to solder but usually not.

hi damian, thanks for the response,the board was off ebay supposed to be new old stock but it did have a bent pin on the hd led (by the sata plugs)and had some dust on it..:(,i put my old board back in and its the same hd tries and a sickly beep so i think its the new board is just as dead as my old 1 they are both m2n-e sli green,are these boards weak?
and thanks again ;)
hi dami is it the chip covered with the ali cooler,i took the cooler off to find the thing is welded bonded then nailed on the board dont think that1 is coming off easy :)!if it is that1 of course!
