I bought the same MIVE bios chip off ebay as you did "Winbond" and doesnt work for me either. Fans just spin for second then off over and over. I told the seller and he sent me another one free of charge but still the same issue. Anyone know where to get working replacement bios chips?

thanks deachus...wish i knew this before now i have them here in South America did a nice 2 week trip dang...why he advertise as good if they're not

if you flash to 3208 be warned for what happened to us with new BIOS 3XXX be careful u may loose one or both of your bios

[deachus]

I have no idea. Once I receive the first chip and it didnt work I thought it was a fluke so I contacted the seller before leaving feedback and he said he would send me a second chip and said the first must have been a bios issue. I received the second chip and it does the same as the first, just doesnt work. I am going to message him again now and ask for a full refund of my large amount I paid of $6.00. Haha. Heres some pics of the ones I got from the ebay guy.

Would love to know where I could get a working replacement chip.

[deachus]

andressergio did you buy your chips from ebay user "biosdepot"??

yes deachus not working same issue as you PC turns on and off endless on 2 i tested...seems all dealers have the same and all ppl same issue i reported to the seller why selling this cauz they dont work...i guess our best bet is found someone with a dead mive...with 2 BIOS chips working but it aint easy :/

yeah i would love to but Asus is kinda rough on this, if i say to raja asus this he will say RMA...im in South America and this is very easy taking a chip like this and put a flashed one...

mines have all the credentials to work ok but nope...

Hey guys,
one of the stickers on my mobo (the one on the SATA ports) accidently got ripped when I was routing my cables. But another sticker on the back is fine. Would I have any problem if I need to RMA the board? Which sticker is the actual serial number?

P.S. Who the hell put stickers in such place?

[Hondacity]

asus of course lol

[McDown]

asus of course lol

I know. Right?
btw remember that horrible yellow crap they used for a thermal compound? Now it's a pink bubblegum. When I removed the heatsink yesterday I literally thought it's a bubblegum. I even smelled it expecting strawberry smell

Any issue about flashing board's bios?

Had no issue flashing (2 part flash), but at least for SB in my opinion it is not a good bios.
