(RESOLVED) Older AM4 processor needed to upgrade BIOS
Update
Just letting you all know the outcome.
A fellow RFD member reached out to me via PM and said that he had purchased an older AM4 socket processor. He allowed me to use it to flash my BIOS and it worked perfectly.
This guy is awesome and I can't believe his generosity.
I had contacted AMD prior to that and they said that I had to contact the motherboard vendor to see if they'd perform the update otherwise AMD would send me the loaner APU.
I heard back from Gigabyte after approx 5 business days at which time I'd already met up with my fellow RFD member and flashed my BIOS.
If you're in this situation, contacting AMD is a good option;
I just got lucky.
-----------------------------------------
I bought an AMD Ryzen 5 2400G APU but the AM4 motherboard that I bought needs a BIOS update to get it working with the new APU.
Is there anyone in the Mississauga area that has an older AM4 processor which I could use to update my BIOS?
I know it's a long shot, but it's worth a try
