Hi peeps

I have a new motherboard that was not used for quite awhile (abt 2 years) bought from Fuwell. So anyway the warranty would likely expire already.

I've recently tried to update the bios but it failed and I didn't manage to boot it up ever again. Turning on the power no longer have LED lights on, and even the fan is spinning, nothing else is working. No POST beeps, total black screen (no signal), no CD spinning inside CD Drive etc.

The motherboard is MSI H61I-E35 (B3).

Anyone knows where, or who, can I look for to change the BIOs chip?

Have you tried resetting the CMOS? Take out the CMOS battery, wait 10 seconds, replace battery and try to boot.

One more step missed out.

You'll need to short the jumper pins for the bios reset after taking out the battery.

How do you short it?

Basically the bios is responding like this because it got stuck halfway (for hours) while updating and I've forced a restart.
