I always clear the cmos after a flash....old habit I guess. I just tried to do the recovery with my usb floppy...no go. Not really surprising that didn't work though. I will see if I can scare up a floppy drive tomorrow. Really appreciate the help Serg008.
Good luck. try also CD/DVD drive and remove all additional devices (PCI lan adapters, HDD, ...), leave only one memory module, Video card and PS/2 keyboard
Uninstall any Loader you used and check again ! /_Asus_Notebook on MSI board with MSI 2.1 Slic === Loader !!! /
Just wanted to update you that the board is truly and completely dead. I tried using the floppy method and tried burning to the CD. Floppy drive lit up briefly but did nothing. CD drive does not even do that. So still not sure if the bios actually worked or not. Damn screwy board anyway lol. I am willing to believe that it does work, just because you guys have consistantly put out great stuff.
