I also need the A8M2N-LA (Naos GL-6) BIOS 3.0 [ Edited ]

[jnoelflma]

Hi,

I have a SR2030NX.  After all of my USB ports and card reader slots failed, I also mistakenly upgraded the BIOS (A8M2N-LA Naos GL-6 mb) to version 3.10 in an effort to try to fix the ports - and then trying to correct the video by uninstalling and installing Nvidia chipset and video drivers. Now my monitor stays black until XP boots up.  I would like to bring the BIOS back to the original version if someone could please send me the instructions and file/s.

I'd also appreciate any advice on getting the USB ports working again.  I tried to update the controller and hub drivers but I only see an 'unknown' device in Device Manager and all USB and card reader ports are dead. I put two PCI based USB cards in and can live without the onboard USB ports and card readers but I want to be able to get to the BIOS and into Safe Mode if/when needed.

Thank you in advance.

Try installing the newest chipset drivers.

Chipset:NVIDIA nForce 430

Can you post a screenshot of Device manager?

Thank you for your help. I tried all the latest video and chipset drivers from Nvidia already but I believe that the trouble is related to my flashing a wrong BIOS update that caused me to lose my monitor as the computer starts.

I downloaded the original BIOS ver. 3.0 from a link provided on this forum (Thanks again) and hope to flash it to drop back from 3.1 this weekend.  I learned about this fix in the Hardware forum, where people were having trouble because they mistakenly upgraded their A8M2N-LA, Naos GL-6 BIOS to version 3.1and had similar trouble with lost monitor output during boot up. This MB only works with version 3.0 of the BIOS.

Reverting to BIOS ver. 3.0 took care of the blank monitor at bootup issues!
