Programmed BIOS Chips
MSI K9A Platinum MS-7280 Ver 1.0 JSPI1 Header
The Board has a header marked JSPI1 and this can be used for recovering the board.
MS-7280 ver 1 Header Pinouts Mapped originaly with meter. We were able to reprogram the board using the xeltek 3000U and an ISP cable.
The standard SPI programmer SF100 has a 2.5mm pitch header with 8 pins. The MSI SPI Header has 9 pins and a 2mm pitch
Asus mark their programming header SPI. MSI Mark their headers with JSPI1
From my own observations I managed to program the part using the header and the Xeltek 3000U with ISP lead.
The header is a finer pitch than the standard header used on other boards. we had to play about with the last few conenctions to get it right as we simply coulnt track them all with a meter
