Flashing Bios from a different motherboard? Asus p8h61-i
- Thread starter Chaos666
- Start date
I would say 100% after just 2 boards but its seems that it works 
i run into a minor problem... when i unplug the mother board from the wall when i turn it on sometimes my clock and date resets to 2005 ... all other settings stay ok... i checked the battery but its fine... need to investigate further

so after a bit of testing I must say it was not a ideal solution
problem still exist... motherboard has a problem after cold boot.... clock resets itself and it show "press f1 to enter bios .... " whats funny after doing that (f1 just to enter the bios then ctrl-alt-del) motherboarad boots and all the old setting accept clock are the way they were before..
it was bothering me and i decided to go back to rm bios and sell the board ... unfortunately after flashing the chip with RM bios board doesn't boot :/ i flashed asus bios again and it works.... so now i have a semi working board ... :/

late update... i figure it out .. i pulled the battery out completely and it was doing same thing...
it turns out that i broke one of the pins of the battery holder thingy so it was not contacting the motherboard :/ trying to fix it now :>
edit: i can't melt the solder on the motherboard to remove to holder.. :/ my soldering iron is to weak... but i've noticed that if i push it towards the ram slot it mages contact ... and it solves the problem... i still need some more permanent solution but at least we know that its not bios fault..
solution for now
there are 3 pins on the other side of the motherboard .... 2 for + (flat side of the battery) and one for - ....
that one closer to ram slot doesn't make connection... after pressing it towards the ram slot with that zip cable tie mobo boots every single time maintaining the clock an settings ..
