Motherboard bios is bad and i have no idea what to do

[The8BitGabe]

So i had got a Aorus z490 master from a family member that had corrupted the bios, so i had tried to flash it externally with the ch341a, but i encountered a problem, the program that the clip uses doesn't support the bios chip.

so I'm out of ideas. (i cant find any bios flashback button)

Any help?

Unfortunately this mobo does not have flashback button , only way is to flash externally with with a flasher

i've tried an external flasher but it doesn't support the chip so i don't know

I did a search and found this... perhaps this is a common problem with updates? Unfortunately the referenced forum no longer exists or has been moved. Also shows something about certain M.2 incompatibilities. Another possible factor that could have caused the corruption?

This mobo comes with dual bios , of you are good with soldering , you can try to switch the bios chips , see if that will help

How do you know that Bios is the issue ?

Then which is cheaper, non-warranty repair, or a new board?

if the problem is the chips for 100% they cost 15$ each , but you must be sure that chips are damaged,
