I feel your pain, the same thing happed to me when I used asus update from windows and corrupted my bios chip. Now at everyone recommendations I only use AFUDOS through dos. Not sure if the ALT F2 would do this but it sounds like you bricked or corrupted your bios chip like me as the symtoms were the same. If you cannot get it going you can mail the bios chip and I will hotflash your bios chip for you and DHL it back to you express if you like as long as you pay me for shipping. We can use paypal...

if you sign up on DHL.com you get 10% off all shipping and they are just great. Fastest shipping company and least expensive I have used yet.

Let me know man would be more then willing to help you...

remove CMOS battery for 15s, replace battery then try powering on again.

2BIG4U, from Lithuania, Europe?
- in either case, contacting local ASUS Support Center is another suggestion.
- they will send you a replacement BIOS chip. (only costs $1 in the USA)
- you have to send your old BIOS chip back to them, otherwise, there is an additional charge. ($20 in the USA)

"ALT-F2" will work, only if the "safe-Boot-Block" area in BIOS was not damaged.

It will be flashed. I am still willing to hotflash for you if it is worth the shipping costs. I will do it for free for you just pay the shipping...

I appretiate, but lithuania olso have profs in pc stores, like bestbuy`s geek`s (i think they will not do that), so they told me that it will cost to me about 20$ they will do hotflash, and i`m thinking about another from asus, just in case. if something changes, i will write to you, thanks for now, and sorry about my poor english

So, about bios from asus, when i will get the chip, i must change to my old, and my system will boot? am i right?
