[SOLVED] msi a320m-a pro max

[bezzer59]

I bought a gaming computer that is a base model. it has no display when powering on and the keyboard doesn't light up but mouse does. can't even get into bios without the keyboard working or display. It has a msi a320m-a pro max motherboard with a ryzen 5 3600x cpu and the vid card is a sapphire radeon rx570 8gb gddr5, with Kingston ddr4 ram. I pulled out ram no beep, I pulled out vid card, unhooked solid-state drive, pulled the ccom bat but still no display, the keyboard has no power and no bios menu. let me guess the clowns didn't update bios before putting in CPU?

Good guess, might be some earlier example that was sitting on a shelf for a while. Unlike other Max boards this one doesn't have Flashback button so an earlier Ryzen is needed to flash BIOS.

I'm not entirely convinced, as the 3600x needs bios 7C52v20 as all other Ryzen 3xxx CPUs. I think that this was the release Bios of the MAX version (or is this the first update ??)
