Infinity NFII no boot

[jmke]

Hello;

 

board was working perfectly, stored it away, now trying to power it up again; got 3 flashing num lock/scroll lock/shift lock lights; and that's about it.

 

J8 / CMOS CLEAR / Change CPU / PSU / RAM / RAMSlot / Videocard / unplug from wall tried again after 10min/1hour.

 

all to no avail; LEDs on keyboard keep blinking

 

what else can I try before I have to throw away this motherboard :§

please check the rules and the Important Info threads stuck to the top of this section, paying close attention to the second post in teh 'critical' thread (about system specs in your sig).

Be as thorough as possible please. Voltages, timings, settings, bios version. The more information you give us about the problem, and the more details about your hardware in your sig = more help we can give you.

Hot flash the bios back to working on another similar motherboard.

the board worked with the BIOS for several weeks; I did not change the BIOS at all since then

[jmke]

I used this bios "6/19 Modded Bios With 12/18 ROMSIP "

flashed it back in July, and was working ever since; I used it for AXP heatsink review here: http://www.madshrimps.be/?action=getarticl...842&articID=213

 

after review stored board away; and want to re-use it now for new review and get 3 blinking lights. don't have another DFI board (NF2) in the neighbourhood.. maybe DFI can lent one for review?

you will have to ship your bios to the local EU DFI office to have it reflashed for you, or you will have to find another NF2 with the same bios chip to do a hotflash.

 

for review boards you will need to contact DFI and speak to someone in marketing as we (RG and I) do not have anything to do with who gets or doesnt get review boards.

 

ps: thx for specs in sig

hello, thank you for your answer, unfortunately shipping the BIOS around is no option for me as I need to a working board now for finish testing.

 

so a BIOS corrupting itself all by itself like that happens often on DFI NFII boards? :/
