Do I use the jumper to flash a bios on this board?

Searching various forum threads still availble for this 10 year old card finds that this is a backup/flash ROM of some sort. It seems like each position is a video BIOS version for the card, potentially allowing you to flash a different BIOS to the board. If your board appears dead, you move the jumper into the 2nd position, power up the PC, and move the jumper back to the first position while the PC is still running and then flash the BIOS with Nvidia's NVFlash utility.
Search Google for "MX440 8866 jumper" and the first thread seems very relavent.

Download the latest BIOS update from your computer manufacturer's website onto a USB flash drive. Refer to your user manual to obtain the manufacturer's website address.

If the downloaded BIOS file is a zip archive, unzip the contents onto your USB flash drive.

Jumper settings may need to be reconfigured on some motherboards to enter BIOS recovery mode. Most Intel-based motherboards have a jumper setting or switch near the on-board

CMOS battery.

The procedure for setting the jumpers will vary depending on your motherboard make and model, so refer to the motherboard documentation for specific instructions.

Power on the computer and press "F2" to access the Setup Mode menu.

If you are unable to access the setup menu, you will not be able to proceed with this repair. Take your computer to a repair shop, as the motherboard may need to be replaced.

Use the arrow key to select "Boot Priority" or a similarly named field. Press the "Enter" key.

Scroll down until "First boot priority" or "First boot drive" is selected and press "Enter."

Select the USB flash drive as the first boot priority device. Press the "F10" key to save this setting and exit from the setup menu.

Connect the USB flash drive to an open USB port on your computer.

Then let your computer fully reboot.

The USB flash drive should be detected and the BIOS should update automatically.

When the update is complete, you may be prompted to restart your computer, or it may reboot automatically.

If you are able to use your computer without any further problems of overheating or failure to recognize drives, your failed BIOS update has been resolved.

hope this helps

There is a jumper setting on the board that resets BIOS if necessary. If BIOS is not present you will have to flash the board to get a working BIOS.

Hi, flashing the board and resetting it is not the same. flashing the board is downloading the firmware and installing in on the motherboard but resetting the bios is just moving a jumper found on the board to reset it to default state. try to get on the manufacturer website to get the flash files. Be careful flashing a motherboard may be very risky and harmful for the motherboard.hope that it helped and don't forget to rate.

You shouldnt have to mess with the jumpers only if you changed them before. The flash will flas the board in its current state. Just run the flash and follow the guidelines and you should be ok.

1. try clearing your bios setup using the jumper provided on your motherboard. make sure that the computer is shutdown and power cable unplugged before doing this. make the jumper settings and wait for 3 to 5 minutes before returning the jumper settings back to its normal position.to locate the bios clear jumper; it's always near the cmos battery of the mainboard. after doing so, plug back your power cable and power "on" your computer. select bios or cmos default settings when you are prompted. save your settings and restart your computer.

or

2. or try flashing your motherboard again using the latest bios file available for your board downloaded from dell website. and select to bios or cmos default settings when you are prompted. save your settings and restart your computer.

Hi,
Try removing the battery inside for the bios, and the jumper for clearing the CMOS. or try flashing the bios. I am sorry, because its very dificult to get the inside pictures of the laptop. Otherwise Download the latest bios and install it in your laptop. Hopefully it should work. Thank you

Remove the CMOS battery will reset the bios ( not sure how you could have installed incorrect bios it would tell you it the wrong bios )

U do a flasing of ur BIOS, there will a jumper on the mother board, U can find it refering the manual of ur mother board, jst change the jumper to flash the BIOS, then try booting...

Hi, I dont like your chances a lot. Next to the cmos battery you will find a set of jumper pins [3 pins] move the jumper from where it is set onto the next pin and leave it there for at least 10 seconds then replace it back in its orriginal position. This will reset all the orriginal bios settings. If the update flash you have done doe's not allow this to reset, get onto the ASUS web site and ask for tech help, the response may be slow but this is your only option other than another mobo.
