Aurora R3 LGA Chipset Bios Recovery

I was updating the Bios with A11 when the computer rebooted. This has bricked the Bios, so is it possible to recover the Bios from a USB stick. If so what is the procedure?

Are you able to turn on the system so you can run the update one more time?

I have no experience with this but maybe this article will help, please do let me know if it works or if ou need me to pull more, I want to try to help you fix your bricked PC.

1. A usb thumb Drive is need. It will work.

2. Bios From dells website. 

3. Extract all the files from the Dell bioes autoexe, make sure to close down winphlash when it tries to run. Dell autoruns this after you extract the files.

4. look for a zip file called CRISDISK.RAR and extract all the files to your desktop or a folder.

Double click on the WINCRIS file that looks like a floppy diisk

It will autoinstall the ALL the files need to the USB Drive


5. Remove the battery and disconnect the Power supply.

6. Place the USB drive into the Esata port (other ports may work) (not sure how your gonna put a usb drive in a esata port but thats what it says lol im asuming they meant usb port)

7 Press and hold FN+B key at the same time and plug in the power. Turn on power and continue to HOLD DOWN the FN+B key until the HDD lights on the alien head illuminate and stay on. At this time the USB drive lights should start to Flash. 

8. In about 5-10 mins your computer should restart. Make sure to go back into BIOS and setup raid and any other settings as they were lost with the BIOS crash.

Unfortunately the computer will not power up when the jumper is removed, so I cannot access the USB drive.

These are the specific instructions for your particular Motherboard.

Try that instruction tutorial from Dells support site, and let me know if you have any luck with this one.

Unfortunately then I would replace your motherboard with one from e-bay or amazon if they have one.

It *** I know but if you cant get your BIOS updated via usb then your mobo is SHOT.
