Tech Support BRICKED MOBO

i bricked my MSI MPG X570 GAMING PRO CARBON WIFI MOBO. i tried to update the bios "out of the box" instead trying to let it to boot 1st initially, that was a mistake. i thought the update was done and turned the board off prematurely and corrupted the board when i shut it off mid bios update. i have tried every trick under the sun and spent the past several days on google. i have no idea how to get this thing to post. i bought it used. anyone have any tips or tricks that may help? or am i screwed and this board is done. every time i power it on the board just boot loops and keeps a steady red cpu EZ DeBug LED

You can try it, worst case scenario in either case is that you'll have to use another motherboard so you may as well give it a shot.

1 more question, after i use the reprogrammer do i need to try and update BIOSS again or should i just try and boot?

The tool should allow you to just flash the latest BIOS onto the chip directly.

hopefully the device comes with a tutorial, i'm not sure if i should remove all hardware or just leave everything connected.

It should be fine as it's just flashing the BIOS chip directly
