Bricked MOBO with AI suite 3 ezflash

During a recent bios update via AI suite 3 EZflash the update didn’t finish after an hour. I shut off the system and bricked the motherboard. I tried using a usb bios flash and could not get the board to post. I tried with and without naming tool but no luck. Is the mobo completely ruined? Strix gaming wifi Z790-A DDR5 version.

If you haven't already, try turning off the PSU and then remove the battery for a few minutes.

Then, before you try flashing again, download the BIOS again, it could have been corrupted. Worth a try, you might get lucky...
