Question Help!!! I think I bricked my motherboard!

[Mepersonguy]

I have an Asus tuf gaming x570 plus wifi and it was working fine. However, I turned on docp and saved, and now it doesn't turn on (it doesn't post and the dram light stays on). I've tried asus'instructions for bios flashback (put bios on usb, rename, plug into powered off motherboard, hold down bios flashback button for three seconds) but the indicator light doesn't turn on. All I can think of now is a new bios chip, but I really don't want to do that.

Just reset CMOS to undo that change. No need to go extreme flashing BIOS in such situation.

I've tried asus'instructions for bios flashback (...) but the indicator light doesn't turn on.

Are you sure you did all required steps? For example some boards call for removal of CPU/RAM before doing flashback.

Agreed with DRagor, just reset the CMOS.

I've heard of there being a button somewhere that does that but I can't find it. Where would I find that documentation?

Nevermind, I took the cmos battery it and or it back in. Thank you (also, I recognize that me not immediately thinking of this makes me a complete idiot).

Just read the manual some boards have a button.

Reset the BIOS.
