is there any way to boot to the back up bios other than pressing the power and eject button at the same time? theres something wrong with my power button so i cant do it that way and i flashed the non 1.6 bios to my 1.6 box by accident so i need to get into the backup.

what bank did you flash the bios to if you flash it to the on on off off off and your power eject will not work you have to do a hotswap
if you flash bios to off on off off off then change to on on off off off and you should have flashbios then when you get flashbios screen up change switch to off on off off off before you flash

i flashed to bank 1 because i had read that the backup had 3.0.1 so i wasnt worried. but then when i found that my power button had stopped working i thought maybe there was some other way to get to the backup. looks like im just going to have to find a new power/eject board since i dont have access to another chip. thanks for the info

o im talking about the actual power/eject switches. the little board in the front panel. when i put everything back to stock and i plug them straight into the mobo my power button still doesnt work so im pretty sure theres nothing wrong with the xecuter board. and ive found some sites that sell them for only a few dollars so i guess its not that big of a deal
