I bricked my TP43E Combo Ver6.3 by flashing a Ver6.2 BIOS file into the chip.
I searched the net but, there was not enough information on how to use the BIOS Relife function.
If your Biostar mobo which uses AMI BIOS is bricked and you want to use the Bios Relife function, you can try these:
1- Find the correct BIOS file (From Biostar web page, or from someone who uses the exact same mobo (versions should match, too))
2- Put it into a floppy or to the root of the USB flash drive, it's name should be "AMIBOOT.ROM"
3- Remove the CMOS battery, and set the CMOS clear jumper to reset CMOS.
4- Wait a little and put the battery back in, set the jumper to its original state
5- Put the floppy in or plug the USB flash drive
6- Power on while pressing "Ctrl+Home" continuously..
Hope it works, it worked for me.
If not, try starting all over with a minimal build (only CPU, Graphics card, and one RAM stick) (Unplug all the fans including CPU fan, All SATA and IDE drives, All cables (ethernet, front USB panel cables, front Audio panel cables), all PCI cards etc...) and work your way up from there. There may be another faulty unit that is disguising under BIOS failure.
