Can you get a flash booter disc to load?
What method of flashing were you attempting and did it say that it was successful?

If it wont even post I doubt there is anything you can do on your end. They have to do a hardware level flash to fix it probably.

The only thing I can suggest you try first before sending it in is resetting your cmos.

You can download a bios flasher from online at asus's website

If his system wont even post how do you expect him to use a bios flasher?

Check my BIOS guide, there are some suggestions in the 2nd post (not the first one, that;s the normal BIOS flashing guide).

Basically some laptops have a BIOS crash recovery feature. You need some "inside info" from ASUS technies on this though, since the feature is not typically documented in user guides. Even so it's not clear that it's there for your particular notebook.

Try calling ASUS and ask them about this feature.

Hi.
Thanks for all the replies.
Asus support gave the same advice as ViciousXUSMC (resetting cmos and they added "do this after 30m unplugged and with no battery").
But i manage to restore a proper bios before reading any reply (from asus and from NBR).
To be honest i don't know how i found the solution, since i never read anything about this way of fixing a bad bios.

I didn't have access to bios or easy flash.
My computer just started, and after the asus logo "died" every time.
I just decide to "explore".
I placed a good bios on my usb pen, started to press keys randomly and when i pressed esc key and got the message "boot selection popup menu has been selected".
Since it didn't tell me to press any key i started to press randomly again, and when i pressed f11 (not sure) something similar to easy flash (f4) appeared and it started to flash. I think i didn't had the option to select file, it just started.

Funny that 209 bios did to my notebook exactly what asus said it would fix: "Fix System hang at ASUS LOGO on SATA HDD with factory recovery image"

Yeah, that does sound like the crash recovery feature. It may have detected the USB key with a BIOS file on it, it just read it and overwrote the BIOS with it. Not sure if you had to select "Boot from USB" with the popup menu, or maybe the F11 has something to do with it... anyway, it's good to know that something works.
