Don't try to update the BIOS of a generic x86 mini-server if the manufacturer does not offer it on its website. I didn't learn the lesson the first time but I certainly did the second one. $200-ish down the drain that way
It's not that bad, bios is stored on an eeprom chip that can be programmed with some special device. On some motherboards (usually older) the chip is socketed which is really nice. On others, you need to desolder it. If you can find someone doing electronic repair, they might be able to fix it.
If I ever find someone with enough hardware and electronics knowledge to revive those two boards (in Central America I should add), I'd just give them up for free for all I care.
Don't bomb it down a slope you don't know (snowboarding). Someone pointed me to a "hospital" which turned out to be a private clinic and my insurance didn't cover the ridiculously overpriced CT scan.
Don't know if it is that expensive for others or not but just sharing cuz it might help someone.
