Hi, folks!
I'd prefer not to flood the post, so I'm gonna keep it as simple as possible.
If additional details are needed, I'll provide'm when asked. ; )

My motherboard's an Intel DP55WB (A legacy board, but brand new. I installed it two days ago.). I tried to update the BIOS to solve a minor problem with boot device priority. I used the update utility from the download page for my motherboard... But it bricked my machine! T_T
Now it won't even turn on. My monitor's connected to the video card (This model doesn't have onboard video.), but nothing shows up at the screen.

I've found the instructions on recovering the BIOS and followed them, to no avail.
Since removing the configuration jumper didn't solve the video problem, there's no interface and I can't even begin the recovery process.
Thus, the first issue to be solved is getting the video to work, I suppose (Note that this model doesn't have onboard video.). The question is: how? =\

Any kind soul out there to lend me a hand...? =)

I found another thread about the same problem (albeit in a different motherboard of the same series) that suggested resetting the BIOS by removing the button battery.
I'm gonna try that one.
