DH61AG BIOS update disaster.

$

Folks,

 

I am...well, was, a very happy DH61AG user.  I've got three of them here, and had no problems at all.  Until this evening.

 

Decided I was going to upgrade one of the machines to Windows 8, so checked out the BIOS versions.  My board was running 0023.  I wanted to be running 104.

 

Things went as follows:


  • Tried to update to 0039.  I couldn't, I was told by the F7 BIOS flash that my existing BIOS was too old. 
  • F7 upgrade to 0031, worked OK
  • F7 upgrade to 0039 failed
  • Booted in to Windows 7 (existing install of Pro x32 off mSATA SSD) and ran the Express Update within Windows to 0039
  • Rebooted OK, all OK so far
  • Express Update to 0099 - failed in Windows
  • F7 upgrade to 0099 - seemed successful
  • Rebooted, now machine won't boot off mSATA drive, reboots constantly at BIOS screen
  • Tried booting off USB stick, BIOS locks up solid
  • Trying to flash 0104 I get flash failure with "FwUpdateBufferFull" followed by 0x80000....00015 (I think, it doesn't stay on screen long)

 

So, now my machine won't boot, is stuck on a broken 0099, I obviously can't flash up to 0104, or flash down to something less broken. 

 

Specs:

Any suggestions?
