NUC6i5syh death after failed bios update sy0073.bio

[Molenhuis]

Hello, I had troubles with updating my NUC. It had bios version sy0071. After I tried to update without the yellow jumper (every other step fails) it look good, but at the end of te proces I got a message that the update failed. I powered off with te button and after that it only turns on, with only te green led on the mainboard but nothing happens. I don't have a power led or screen. I don't no what to do to solve it.

Updating to BIOS 0085 on a NUC7i7BNH also bricked my NUC in the exact same way. Update failed with intel management engine. Cannot boot into bios, tried jumper, etc.

The Bios update was release recently -- I guess their management engine detected we are out of warranty and decided to make us purchase a new NUC!

Well, I see that I'm not the only one that I have the same problem. I did everything Intel said and the outcome was blue light off and the fan spinning.

Is the CH341 programmer the only solution here? What is the risk of using that?

Thanks a lot,

Luciano

Hi Luciano, I don't know. I purchased the CH341 programmer and it's works. You can buy one from aliexpress. I can send you the bios file to get the nuc running.

Gentleman, updating the bios in this manner is a very bad practice.   It is a security risk, plus it is stealing the identity of another machine.

Just saying...
