try removing the mains power and then checking the cable connection, if that fails and you can't apply the firmware again then it is bricked.
The latest modded R5E BIOS can be found at win-raid by clicking this sig

Yep - what GoNzO said. Mine was showing all 0's and it was the data cable that was loose. The socket seems a bit fragile, and while in and out of the case I must have bumped it.

Did u use the so called front base driver? And if yes, your panel is not bricked. U just need to flash the correct firmware. Its the so called front panel driver.

I feel daft for asking this... but finding documentation on the OC Panel has, well, been challenging. Is there any? I too installed the front base driver - which, and at some point I think something flashed it I think. What utility is supposed to be used to flash the OC Panel with the OCPanel_II_0107 bin?

I am referring to the included "OC Panel II" that comes with the M8E...

But I did make some progress. I was looking for the drivers etc. in the M8E section - after all, it came with the M8E. While the flashing file is there (an update), I ended up only finding the flashing utility when looking under Windows 8.1 64 and under the Motherboard Accessory "OC Panel". I crossed my fingers and it worked... and no it is no longer dead.

Of course now I am just wondering why I cared... it is fairly limited as a front panel...
