Question : Problem: Blank screen after flashing BIOS (Asus A7V133, BIOS 1005->1009)

Hi all,

After flashing the Award BIOS (1005->1009) using AFlash.exe I rebooted successfully and entered the BIOS Setup.  I pressed F5 to "Load Setup Defaults" as I was instructed, but then instead of saving and exiting as I should have, I made a few other changes and then saved and exited.  I guess I foolishly thought that by pressing F5 the changes would be made instantly.  Bad mistake.

Anyway, now when I boot up I get nothing but disk activity and a blank screen.  I've tried changing the jumper settings on the motherboard from "JumperFree" to "Jumper Mode" as well as temporarily removing the CMOS battery, but neither have helped.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

John

You don't have to solder anything, you should be able to do it with a jumper wich you can find on the back of a harddrive/CD-rom station (it could also be a switch) just check your manual
