Hi

So here's what I find on my box... If I press both of the buttons at exactly the same time, nothing happens for me either, so that's not unusual. Try pressing the power button first followed immediately by the eject button. Hold them both for about 2 seconds. The logo on the switch should turn purple and flashbios will pop right up on the screen.

if using stock a/v cable and you get nothing on screen with backup bios then I have 2 thoughts. 1) if this is new install, you need to recheck your solder 2) if it was working prior, your backup bios must be blank for some reason.

this is new install
but the backup had working just one time
ive tried to boot in backup mode and ive selected load from c
then c:/bios and the screen gets black
i dont understand whats happen

now after holding both buttons for above 2 second x3 logo turn purple and if i press eject button one more time flashbios 3.0.1 is loaded
which flashbios is this: the backup or second bank of memory?
and why do not start when logo is purple?

if logo is not purple, my best guess is it is on whatever bank(s) you got your switches on.
