CPU/Mobo Need a Ryzen 3000 older CPU for BIOS Update

[sid41299]

Title. I live in Hyderabad, and I've gone to third-party repair shops and official service centers, but no dice. I don't have any friends with older AMD CPUs either, so basically I'm completely ****ed. Any help or solutions would be appreciated, especially if it doesn't involve shipping the mobo somewhere.

Please help.

Feel free to ask questions.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Sid

If this doesn't pan out, AMD used to provide a loaner CPU for this exact purpose, look here: https://www.amd.com/en/resources/support-articles/faqs/RMA-BKTS.html
Not sure if this is still active tho, worth a shot.

Try checking out some local Facebook PC groups — I’ve seen quite a few Ryzen 3000 CPUs listed there recently. If you post about your BIOS update issue, someone might be willing to lend you a compatible CPU just for the update. Definitely worth a shot!
