So I got the typical bricked motherboard from the dell bios update( aprox 1.5yr ago) I just installed a refurbished motherboard same CN-07JNHO info stickers. Started machine and upon loading i got the "reboot & select proper boot device" request. I rebooted w/ f12 and got into the bios page. It had the hard drive to boot listed 4th so i moved it to 1st..saved reboot same thing. Double checked my hard drive wires were plugged in 3rd try ..same results. Did a ePSA check and got an error code 2000-0142 as hard drive 0...like it's not finding it? I'll post pics to assist and any help is appreciated!
History***
Prior to sticking the couple thousand dollar paper weight in the closet...it would give the beep codes during start up and never get to the desk top screen...i did a few hard reset bios with swaping the clips on the pins / changed MB battery ect and it would sometimes fire up and be playable until it got shut off from power outage or an update ect and during boot up was always the problem with loading bios. I got that to last for a few months...until finally nothing helped it load the bios.
