Looking for a replacement AMD board

danger_mouse_tm

Hi,

A failed bios update has caused our M5A78L-M/USB3 to become bricked. Nothing on screen to even initiate crashfree. Can anyone recommend a replacement that will work with the existing processor and ddr3 memory or should I just buy the same again?

Thanks

I never thought of that. Is it easy to replace or does it have to be soldiered down?
