thanks for the effort guys. i have tried all of it, but nothing seems to work. so i am sending it in for rma. thank goodness i'm in america right now. this makes everything ten times easier. if i was out on some remote island, i would just be screwed.
it was fully charged, plugged in, used the same usb that i used to update to 208 bios, formatted to fat32, and did everything just like i always have. just a freak accident. don't really know what was the problem. i dl the 209 bios right off of the g751jy site. crazy crap. but asus rep was cool, and setup the rma, complete with free shipping both ways. so at least that was good.
never had any problems flashing a bios in my entire life. but sometimes crap happens.
