Didn’t help. That board is dead. Secure boot sucks permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 1 point 1 week ago (5 children) Hmm.

Still wouldn’t reach firmware. The bios needs reflashed and this stupid board has no recovery because WHY DOESNT IT HAVE A RECOVERY FEATURE!? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 1 point 1 week ago* (3 children) The firmware should be on an EEPROM or something permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago (2 children) It’s on a bios chip that I desolder, reflash, and solder again. If I had the skills and the reader. So I’m just merging more things into one server and reducing power consumption by collapsing VMs into containers to offset the difference. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 2 points 1 week ago sh.itjust.works Not the motherboard permalink fedilink source parent [–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 1 point 1 week ago Yeah its not worth the effort.
