Hello, recently I bought CW-X86-P5-V3-N305 but it does not detects my WD SN5000 nvme m2 drives, so I upgraded firmware and after succesfull upgrade, after restart, device does not come back to life, no signal on screen, keyboard powered but unresponsive, I tried clear cmos, battery in/out, nothing helps, could you guide me how to restore bios and restore device?

    Hi, I need to know which file you updated — what is the file name? Based on the current situation, it seems that you may have updated the wrong BIOS, or the update did not complete successfully, causing the BIOS to stop working. Perhaps you will need to prepare a BIOS programmer, and I can provide you with the correct BIOS file so you can reprogram the BIOS and get the device running normally again.

    I also need to know whether you have purchased the 4x NVMe adapter board to support the installation of four NVMe drives. There are two different BIOS binary files depending on this configuration.
