Hi, Can someone please help! I watched a YouTube video suggesting to update the bios via MSI Center. Now my PC doesnt turn on. Just the fans and lights turn on! Is there a fix to this?

worthy tundra
#

What motherboard?

vivid thicket
#

MSI PRO B650-S WIFI: ATX w/ Wi-Fi 6E, USB 3.2, 2x M.2

worthy tundra
#

Ah no you are perfectly fine

vivid thicket
worthy tundra
#

DON'T update using MSI center again

vivid thicket
#

I will most definitely not!!!!

worthy tundra
#

Right - seems like your bios went kaput! THANKFULLY you have a bios flashback button on your board

vivid thicket
#

This youtube channel will never be trusted again...omg..first he suggests this awesome way of updating bios then he tells everyone to join his discord to fix it..ugh

#

Awesome

#

I owe you a pint! Is this the cmos thingy?

worthy tundra
#

Well, MSI Center might of just messed up the board

#

CMOS resetting ain't going to do much

vivid thicket
#

Okay. How do i access the bios flashback button?

worthy tundra
#

Download the latest bios

#

Before I recommend anything I am going to ask for validation from another discord member 😬

vivid thicket
#

Okay

worthy tundra
#

@light steeple Can you do bios flashback with CPU/RAM/ anything installed?

#

It is Christmas time so might of been stupid of me to ping a moderator

#

haha

#

I'll try see in a sec

vivid thicket
#

Yup. This was my sons xmas present we just got from cyberpower. He is a little gutted. I think we were to keen on updating everything like windows etc.

#

He wanted to also try control the rgb liights so we tried to download msi mystic light. I think we are now going to stay away from msi software. Ugh...

#

Don't update bios if you experience no issues

vivid thicket
#

Oh gosh...hopefully this will work

worthy tundra
#

I just am not sure and because the bios is so fragile, not advising anything atm.

#

I don't want to be at risk of further damaging something.

#

You can use BIOS flashback with stuff installed

#

Theres usually a port that says BIOS flashback on the back

worthy tundra
#

Lets get started then!

vivid thicket
#

Yup! Sounds good. I got downloaded the bios. Formatted usb flash drive to fat 32

#

Renamed the bios file to MSI.ROM.

worthy tundra
#

With the PC off locate the BIOS FLASHBACK USB PORT

vivid thicket
#

Yup. Fiund it

worthy tundra
#

Put that in the USB port

#

with the PC off but recieving power, hold the bios flashback button to initate the flash process

#

IMPORTANNT! leave the PC once its doing it

#

Go in a room and have christmas dinner and forget about it

vivid thicket
#

I assume i turn on the power switch at the back

worthy tundra
#

worthy tundra

#
