well i tried shorting the main bios by connecting pins 5+6 and you can also connect pins 1+7. which is suppose to trick the back up bios into thinking the main bios is not working but no luck.

it seems that the backup bios is not working on both boards, is this even possible? and if so what would of caused this?

from what i gather if you flash the bios in ntfs format flash it will not work, i couldn't find anything to say that it will damage the bios. could it be the tech who flashed it used @bios? and even if he did i should still be able to disable the main bios and make the back up bios take over right?

Im not sure how this dual bios tech works, but I think its possible to corrupt both. Or it just didnt work. So its still the corrupted mainbios thats working, or well not working.
And according to your link (pg 1) it should have been pins 4 und 7. And also its a different mainboard, so even though its the same company they might have changed the layout of the pins.

Can open the link to the datasheet from tgun, its probably to old.

But if you can find out which pins are Data In and Clock for your board...

http://download.gigabyte.eu/FileList/Manual/mb_manual_ga-990fxa-ud3_e.pdf says they use...

wait a sec.... chpt. 2 says you can press END to flash without entering the bios. Did you try that?

anyway, whats the writing on the bios chips? I cant find anything about which chip they use and my kids just woke up.

yeah i think you can corrupt both bios...

sorry your right, typing error i was meaning pins 4&7 the pins are of the same config some bloke on page 5 has same board as me. heres the datasheet for the chip http://postar.sino-star.com/public/uploads/20120412164634_571.pdf
i think it should be the pins for 4ground and 7hold

yeah i been trying to press end to enter flash but none of the buttons work on both boards end, delete, f9, f12. it wont let me do anything with the bios. im just getting the gigabyte sign with the commands and keys to hit along the bottom then when i hit a key it just gos to black screen and stays there.

the writing on the chips so small i cant make it out, i need a magnifying glass lol. but from what i read on page 5 of the tech someone says its the same chip they give a link to prove it but its dead.

you have a kid, im so frustrated with these boards that if i had baby and it was crying id probably shake it to death haha
