Bricked PC after BIOS update

Hi,

I have an Intel DH67BL motherboard. rev. AAG10188-202 (the early model it seems). Serial# BTBL04700CLU.

After updating from the original bios version (0062) til the latest (0160) I can't boot the computer.

 

BIOS upgrade process:

* I used the F7 method for updating the BIOS

* BIOS-file was on a USB stick

* BIOS update was all success (had "done" in the 4-5 flash-steps)

* Computer automatically rebooted

 

The symptoms I now see are:

1. No video output (initial observation)

2. Computer does not boot

3. After trying many combinations I uninstalled all four RAM modules.

   I'm not getting the expected three beeps nor blinking LED, when booting

   without RAM. This scares me, as I think that if BIOS does not even detect

   that there is no RAM available, then NOTHING works, but hopefully I'm

   wrong about this.

 

 

What I have tried:

* BIOS recovery

   - I have tried recovering with both USB- and CD-method

   - I have had the PC stay overnight without CMOS battery installed

   - I have been booting with screen attached to DVI and HDMI (separate boots)

* Following the steps in Anoshi's post (#18) in the following thread:

      https://communities.intel.com/thread/29605?start=15&tstart=0

  To no avail unfortunately.

 

Can you help to the next steps please.

Best Regards

Niels
