Corrupted FX board
"the firmware on your system board (laptops) or the firmware on your MIO board (desktops) may become corrupted necessitating a system board or MIO board exchange."
Good morning all, I managed to get my FX working again by removing everything from my registry. Life was great and all were impressed by the flashing lights on my PC. About 2 weeks ago the power went out for 5 hours and the lights on my PC are now dead. I went back in the registry to edit everything out like before. I then deleted everything from my drive and tried to reinstall the flash software. Win 7 is not letting me. It still thinks something is left and can't remove it.
Looking for suggestions, how do you know if the FX board is bad? What might I be missing?

Sometimes simply running the F12 Utility Partition (MIO Board Diags) will reset the MIO Board. Other times, you have to use the Jumper Reset procedure:

I doubt it's bad ... just confused.
