Hello All,
I'm wondering if there is a method of recovering corrupted bios on a Gigabyte X58A-UD5 Rev 2 Mobo.
This Mobo was on latest Bios FF1 and hasn't had the cover off since I build it for my daughter a few years ago now. Its worked perfectly until this morning when my daughter attempted to turn on PC.
I'll explain the scenario, she turned it on and walked away like most teens
I suppose.
What she didn't realize is that that case power button was stuck down while she walked away.
After about 5 minutes came back into her room to a black screen, noticed the Power Button was jammed down and slightly pressed to release it. She tried again and then asked for assistance.
I removed from AC Power and let is sit for 5 minutes but unfortunately no easy fix.
Debug LED cycles between C1/19, I have noticed on Forums that C1 is Memory and 19 is Reserved.
I tried removing all peripherals and just have CPU, new Keyboard and VGA Card. Cycled trough all 6 Memory Modules and no difference, I honestly don't believe its RAM or CPU. The strange thing is there is some intelligence as if I use the Power Button on Mobo or Case and hold it down for 5 Sec, it does Power Down the computer, but that's about it.
I can't find anything in the Manual for Recovering from corrupted BIOS and I concerned that by the power button been jammed for over 5 minutes it may have tried to recover using Dual Bios and corrupted both.
Any ideas please, as with most teens, urgent project on this PC that needs to be completed this week.
