I have an ASUS P5B Dluxe Wi-Fi lying around which got screwed when I decided to use ASUS Update to flash my BIOS. The board was 100% working before the flash. No physical damage anywhere at all. Comes without wi-fi antenna as I am using it with another wifi card. (The antenna is quite good actually :) ). There's I/O Backplate, IEEE bracket, Joystick/USB bracket, Some other bracket (green), Manuals, CD's, IDE cables. Nothing Else.

Here's what happened.

The board is dead, and comes as is.

I see no reason why it shouldn't work if u replace the chip with a working one. Unless ur diagnosis is incorrect.

About this mobo, I am pretty sure no hardware on the motherboard is faulty other than the BIOS chip being erased or something. But of-course, a dead mobo comes with mo warranties...lol

Can't the BIOS be replaced/restored from USB. Well, that is what ASUS' Crashfree BIOS is supposed to do isn't it?

Board isn't under warranty.

There's I/O Backplate, IEEE bracket, Joystick/USB bracket, Some other bracket (green), Manuals, CD's, IDE cables.

I'm curious how that worked. I don't think I'll have the time to do it on my board but would like to know anyway.

It's a simple exe file that flashes the Wifi card firmware. After this, you can use the wifi ap solo software to manage the card connections and profiles etc.

As the thread says, it's a dead board and comes as is. I cant obviously give any test warranties on a dead product can I?

This old thread here has information on what happened. So please decide for yourself if you want to buy it.

No, I am only sure that they were 100% working before I attempted BIOS flash.
