Its the ch341a software at fault, and using a clip is unreliable,desolder and use a socket if possible.Search these forums for different software to use.
Thanks for the file Just tried updating from 076 to 163 bios and I should have updated to 132 first then 163. Only afterwards did I realise after that I should have done in that order! The attached bios is 160 version so just about to update it to the latest version.
Thanks all sorted out now
For anyone interested do all the bios upgrades in recovery mode. ie with the bios link removed with a formatted fat32 usb memory stick, with the .bio file in the root directory of the usb memory stick. I did make the usb bootable with freedos (not sure if that was required but did it anyway).
Attached are the bios updated files.
DON'T UPGRADE STRAIGHT TO 0163 if your bios is lower than 0132.
If your bios is lower than 0132 update to 0132 then upgrade to the latest bios file.
They are all attached it took me a while finding them!
The offset for the mac address is 1000 and also 2000 if you made a backup of the failed bios flash ic when removed (always advisable). Mac address is 30 60 77 2F 5D 48 in the model above. Just noticed I missed two locations out so there is 4 appearances of the mac address in the bios!
Also if you search for your board model serial number in the bios it will start with BTCLxxxxxxxx where the xx represent alpha numeric code. This will be displayed in the bios.
Also my board was a very early board AAG10212-205 which you can also look in the bios to change it to your model to ensure some form of conformity. This model is a AAG10212-211 It appears as I recall at least twice.
Enjoy
Hi
i made the misstake.
...DON'T UPGRADE STRAIGHT TO 0163 if your bios is lower than 0132.
i made the update from 105 to 163.
Unfortunately the bios recovery does not work.
what can i do?
For all the above situations and more... please use the following dump, I made the same mistake as everybody else! Without any info about the dump I got my board back alive, is the 146 version, with ME CLEAN I guess. Enjoy !
I have successfully flash my Intel DH67CL BIOS using the file uploaded by OKRPKCOMP. I flash my BIOS using CH341 programmer and SOP8 clip. Motherboard then boots normally. For those who wonder, the BIOS version in this file is 0146.
After that, I update my BIOS again to 0163 using F7 Flash BIOS utility provided by the motherboard without problem.
Sorry for the bad English.
Thank you so much for the help provided in this thread.
A short story how I got into this thread: I got an Intel DH67CL motherboard and I have a 3rd gen processor, but it won't boot and I am sure I just need to update the BIOS so the motherboard can recognize the processor. I borrow a 2nd gen processor and update the BIOS straight to 0163 (I don't know the initial BIOS version though). After that, the motherboard just won't boot. Everytime I turned it on, I got no error beep codes, no display, only the processor fan spins. I tried everything including BIOS recovery option provided by Intel but no luck. Then I googled and found this thread, bought a CH341 programmer for approximately USD 5, flash the BIOS, and now my motherboard works.
There are many tutorials about flashing BIOS using a CH341 programmer and each tutorial can suggest a different thing and sometimes it can be confusing. For me, I remove everything from the motherboard (processor, memory, VGA card, CR2032 battery, keyboard, mouse, etc.) and then start flashing. I am using Ubuntu, so I use the flashrom command.
Does anyone have version 0151 for 3rd gen CPU support?
TIA
If your purpose is for 3rd gen processor support, you can just update BIOS to 0163 (the latest version). But remember don't upgrade straight to 0163 if your current BIOS version is lower than 0132 (as suggested by cheeky2)
