Once in the CD select a program called _NTFS4DOS (In File System->NTFS Tools->Avira NTFS4DOS) This will give you access to your C: drive where you saved the CWSDPMI7 and SPIPGM and your BIOS’s ROM earlier.Hello friends i have same board (grundig GNB 1560, A25 rev 2.1 Motherboard) with updated bios from 206 to 209,when on 206 bios version there were 2 problems, the 1 st. (BEFORE BOOTING MAKE SURE PARALLEL PORT IS SET TO LPT/378h IN BIOS!) Once you have everything hooked up and triple checked (don’t forget to hook up port 1 to +3V and 2 (that is also connected to 18 on the LPT) to 0V), then it’s time to shut down your laptop/desktop that you wish to flash from and change the BIOS to boot from CD, restart again and boot into the CD.
SPI PROGRAMMER AMI BIOS SERIAL
Once you have created the flashing cable then it is time to plug it into the Serial Port on your chosen flashing computer (Make sure it’s mode is set to LPT port as detailed in the pdf, check and recheck these!) The ports should be as so: LPT Port The guide to creating this cable is detailed here ↗, note it is VERY important to use the 3V line from the spare PSU (to hot-wire the spare PSU use the paperclip and make a connection between the green wire and ANY black wire) and NOT 2x AA batteries as 2x AA’s will not work (believe me I’ve tried), also ignore the bootable USB as were using a CD. take off the outer sleeving so all you are left with is the header that will connect to the SPI Port and about 1M of wires. iso, SPIPGM (Used to flash the ROM), CWSDPMI7 (DPMI host process needed by SPIPGM)).īurn the Universal Boot to a CD, place both SPIPGM and CWSDPMI7’s /bin files as well as the BIOS ROM in the C: directory on your laptop/desktop that you will be doing the flashing from.
SPI PROGRAMMER AMI BIOS HOW TO
Work out how to flash using the SPI Port and flash from another computer (or in my case a very old laptop with an LPT port on it).De/Re-Solder the BIOS chip with a new one.So I looked for alternate methods and there were 2 open to me:
SPI PROGRAMMER AMI BIOS INSTALL
The board is spotless, absolutely perfect, all the lights come on and even when you install the GPU wrong the little warning light comes on but it will not POST, just says CPU INIT all the time and restarts every 3/4 seconds as if there was a bad overclock and it was resetting to default.Īs you can see something was obviously up with it and as it wouldn’t even POST i couldn’t flash the BIOS.

So this was me when i first got the motherboard:
