I bought a C6100 on ebay and decided to update the bios before deploying. I downloaded BIOS_P8GRR_LN32_1.70.BIN and tried to install from CentOS. I got the message:
This Update Package is not compatible with your system
Your system: XS23-TY3
System(s) supported by this package: Cloud Products C6100
So after googling that message I found these forums and ran across the post to boot to a dos usb drive, and then run AFUDOS 6100v170.ROM /X to force the upgrade.
After I did that and rebooted it is completely bricked, absolutely no video. After several minutes the power light will start alternating blinking green and orange. I've tried booting with the clear cmos jumper, and System Reset jumper. No improvement.
I've read a few more threads like Dell C6100 - anyone brick a board yet? But didn't see any tips on how to recover from a total brick with no video.
Any ideas? Thanks!
