MS-7502 Ver 1.2 BIOS help/questions!?

[speedi]

Hello

I'm new, so do not hope I'm just wasting your time because my problem may have been answered before?

Can see that there has been helps/questions about BIOS for MS-7502 before, but do not really know if I can use these files there are linked to, which is my problem.

Know that the motherboard should come from an MD8828, and when I would update the BIOS, I found this https://www.dropbox.com/s/rrsb8138o5tmio...N.10R?dl=0 which MSI referred. but after the flash was there only black screen

I soldered therefore the chip out and flashed it back to the old, which is this https://www.dropbox.com/s/8sim59u1uokckq...2.bin?dl=0

My question/problem is, what went wrong or which BIOS actually belong to this motherboard? Do not know if there is something wrong with the motherboard? Only that the built-in network card does not work, is registered and installed but has no MAC address, only 00-00-00-00-00-00 is this not assigned from the BIOS? Running with a E7600.

Hope that someone can help me, thanks in advance..

about the motherboard and cpu

OK, found out about OEM, never experienced that a BIOS was locked

Also found the password (am8888egh) after F11, but makes no difference

The network card I got to work, how, good question

Upgrading my MEDION mobo bios from version xxx10A to MEDION version xxx10R is pretty much useless for me.
I still cannot boot from USB-disk + I lost my onboard realtek sound chip.

I wonder if it's possible to get a full featured BIOS with all hdw working well??

How do you use F11? Do you wait on the first messages and then press F11 or ??? My quadcore bootes fast so there's hardly time to get a letter typed after F11..

Just keep on pressing F11 when you turn it on, tab it

Thx a lot Speedi...
Did it .. and didn't unlock a thing ..

I figured out about the USB boot however. Each time when you install , reinstall, pluging, unpluggin' a boot device the settings change and you have to reset them.

There's 1 option left to do and that is to try the BIOS prepared by one of the mods on this forum 5y ago. It had something to do with unlocking RAID functionality. I'm not sure if there's a raid bios on this mobo, but I sure would like to get to the processor settings.

If I remember correctly I could have sworn I played with them years ago. Perhaps with the first BIOS that came with the PC?

You are welcome, but do not really think it is the same code on each motherboard, worked not on my either. I have since discarded the motherboard ..
