ASrock Fatal1ty X370 Gaming ITX Bios update failed, no output

[cxtutor]

Hello guys,
I'm panicking rn because i was just updating the BIOS of my dad's PC (through Windows, what probably was the problem) it finished 100% and i rebooted the pc and since then I cant get it to Output anything. I tried resetting the CMOS with the Jumper. Is there any way i can flash a non damaged Bios on there or what else can i do.

Thanks in Advantage

If your BIOS has been corrupted you most likely need to get the BIOS chip replaced as I don't think that mobo has a dual BIOS.
Always update BIOS from within BIOS, not from Windows. Same thing happened to me when I build my system 4-5 months ago, luckily for me i have a mobo with dual BIOS and was thus able to recover from the backup BIOS.

Hi,
I suggest RMA-ing the board.

So pretty much just sent it back?

Yes. Open a RMA ticket.

I had the same thing happen with the ASrock AB350 Gaming K4. I contacted ASrock support and they suggested resetting the bios by unplugging power, removing the chip, and set the reset switch for 5 minutes. They said if that didn't work, return the board. It didn't work so I returned the board. I guess the lesson is to not update BIOS in Windows.

I have gaming k4 MB, came with bios P1.50
I created a bootable usb disk (FreeDOS 1.2 lite) with bios updates 3.10 (dos exe) & 3.30 (rom)
- download fd12bu.img.7z archive & extract
- write img file to a usb flash disk (overwrites everything on it !) with:
sudo dd bs=1M if=fd12bu.img of=/dev/sdb status=progress
where /dev/sdb is your usb device (not sdb1 or sdb2)
- update 3.10 (dos exe) & 3.30 (rom) files on usb disk with your MB bios updates
- boot from usb disk
- on freedos install prompt, say no to drop to dos shell
- run dos update.exe for your MB
on reboot your MB will have new bios & instant flash menu with which you can update to latest
tested & worked on gaming k4.
