- I wanted to get my GameMax Kamikaze Pro built back up and had this old H61 mobo and an i5 2500s laying around. It worked... and then it didn't. This video's a bit long and winding, but hopefully it's got some ideas in it to help people learn to troubleshoot.
UPDATE: I did revisit this system, but I didn't feel like it warranted another video. Here's what happened: 1. I updated to the beta BIOS. Everything broke again to the point of no-posting and power cycling. 2. All attempts to invoke the backup BIOS failed. Tried shorting pins 1+6 on the BIOS chip while turning it on, no luck. 3. I manually programmed the beta BIOS and that fixed everything, including UEFI VBIOS.
with Most of giogabytes older boards (i think new ones too) if the Main Bios EEPROM is corrupt but to a point it cant hand over to the backup (which most models its main function is only to reflash the main) if you short pins 1 & 6 on the Main one, you'll force it to trigger this Recovery and reflash the main BIOS eeprom.
These videos are helping me to stay away from Gigabyte motherboards.
Just finished watching the newest Star Wars before watching this, I enjoyed this twisty one more, lol
"It's never the CPU - except when it is."
Have you noticed that the BIOS in the vid was in German? Shouldn't the BIOS be more vanilla as in the language being set to English? I'm German, and I still keep my BIOS vanilla language wise.
Can you perhaps explain how you manually reprogramed the bios? I am having this issue rn, i have beta bios and it posts but then black .
😂😆Remember what you once said, Graham, "It's never the CPU."🤔
I had a similar issue with an Asus h61m board, but instead, i Just bought a fresh BIOS chip from ebay, for 10€, flashed and delivered 😬😂
That is sheer perseverance. I would have ditched the board after trying all the components and a fresh power supply. I have flashed an Eprom but without success and that put me right off.
You cant read the chip because of the jumper it has to be changed over to that port at least thats how mine works but yours looks cheaper maybe first version you have
This channel is great. Just straight troubleshooting issues. Most of the big PC tech channels do this rarely. Its great to have a channel largely dedicated to this.
Really enjoyed that! Learned how to take reasonable steps to diagnose and to be patient and willing to try different things. You are making great videos lately! Thanks very much for teaching me. Seeing the ref lash of the bios was helpful as well.
Great videos coming lately, really enjoying watching 'em! :) I actually found your channel by searching guidance for bricked b450 motherboards as my mate had a bad bios flash and the board was basically a brick at that moment. After watching the b450 aorus video fully and even the in-depth video about the flasher tool, I ordered one for myself and after a lil bit of searching for some more guides I managed to save the board. :D
Just subscribed... Just working my way through your previous videos... Really enjoying your in-depth troubleshooting techniques and your thought process for this one ... Keep the videos coming.
Best on-line resource ever. Very much appreciate your camera work and your ongoing trouble shooting narrative. Well done!! Cheers from Canada!
Good knowledge base, logic and analytical, recognized that, watching couple of your videos.
It's great to listen to you think your way through problems, even accepting partial fixes when it's not going to customer :)
Wow, that was a really interesting one. Thanks for showing how that EEPROM flashing stuff works. I am fairly good at PC troubleshooting but when it comes to taht kindof stuff I am still hesitant. I would have probably written this board off. And I still got a few boards sitting here, some for testing some for repair, that will probably not end up in the bin now.
An interesting journey in this video. Had me worried for a while Graham, especially when you couldn't figure it out. I was saying to myself, "This is not good, Graham always figures it out!" Glad you're happy with the results. Thank you, always a pleasure to watch you work.💻🖥🔌⌨
