Yep 2 kids actually and they drive me crazy sometimes Wink

I guess you read post 2 here and tried some if it?

And the way I understand it is you short pins 5 and 6, so Clock is the same as input. This would basicly write the clock in the bios which probably kills it and the backup bios kicks in.

This is from the 2nd post here

The method in the 1st post there (pins 4 and 7) will probably only work with some kind of button because you have to "hold" the main bios while booting and either hold during the flash or release right after boot. Not sure how steady your hands are, but I couldnt do that

Shorting 5 and 6 looks more promising even though its a bit brutal.

you have 2 look after 2 kids... i cant even look after myself let alone 2 kids haha

yeah i tried the q flash and that but i had no luck at all

so what your saying is when shorting pins 4&7 you have apply the jumper during the few seconds when the gigabyte logo shows up and then release just after?

ok i haven't been doing that, i just had a paper clip jumping the 2 and waiting for the bios to kick in.

i have requested a refund for the boards but im considering soldering a button on the pins to try it out first.

i wonder if there any of connecting a button without soldering???
