When you bought GBT products (cell phone is excluded) in retail market, no matter the warranty is valid or not, you can inform us the problem of GBT products via GGTS.
But, GGTS does not provide any service for GBT OEM/ODM products.
So if you bought the MB from retail market, you can still try GGTS service.
I contacted Gigabyte Tech Support. According to GGTS, the product is older than 3 years since it was manufactured, so it's no longer under warranty. I guess I am out of luck. Thank you for trying though.

ps. My recommendation for Gigabyte is that..if there's a chance of BIOS getting corrupted beyond repair through a Flash program (in this case, Gigabyte's @BIOS program), the BIOS chip should not be soldered permanently onto the motherboard... It should, instead, be removable eeprom - which you can take it out to re-flash it with a flasher if it becomes corrupted. This way, customers don't have to throw away the whole motherboard just because of a bad BIOS (softwarewise). That's just my thought.
Tried, and failed. My keyboard is PS2, and the Del didn't get me to the BIOS screen. It seems that there was no response from the keyboard at all. Before the BIOS was corrupted, I was able to get to the BIOS fine by pressing Del at the beep.
I copied the three files to USB flash drive, booted up the PC, and the BIOS didn't even look at it.
The BIOS chip is soldered on the board, so I can't take it out to re-flash it else where..
When system turn on and you hear bee sound pass del.you will get into BIOS.
When you get into BIOS pass F8,than you can use usb Flash memory to update your BIOS.
If you can not, please try to use ps2 keyboard. and yes ,flash memory mean a USB flash drive.
"cannot find BIOS image or hard drive or diskette!!"
The harddisk that I always use on the PC doesn't seem to contain the image BIOS file..so the BIOS couldn't recover from it ..
The problem started with I tried to flash the GA-K7N400L with @BIOS from Gigabyte website. After I rebooted the system, I got these Award BOOTBLOCK 1.0 error..
The question is.. is there a way to get the BIOS to at least read from floppy drive or CDROM drive? I have the 3 files: flash utility, bin file, and autoexec, but the PC just wouldn't even look at the floppy drive at all. CD and bootable CD containing the 3 files don't work either. Any suggestions??? THanks.
