Just for visibility here is what I received back from Customer Care. Just to be clear I originally sent along a photo of the box and serial number, both of which should be enough to verify that I have in fact bought a 2200G. The important part is in bold which I added to make it easier to find.
Response and Service Request History:
Thank you for your request to loan a boot kit from AMD.
The details you provided do not match a Ryzen Vega processor. And therefore, your claim is not eligible for a Boot Kit loan.
AMD has published an article that describes the issue, and it can be found here: https://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/2Gen-Ryzen-AM4-System-Bootup.aspx
If you do have a Ryzen with Radeon Vega graphics processor with the symptoms described in the article, I recommend that you take the following steps:
1. If the motherboard was purchased through a computer parts retailer, check with the retailer to see if they can facilitate the BIOS update at their location. There may be a charge for this, or it may be offered at no cost.
2. If you have access to a processor supported on the current installed BIOS, use it to perform the BIOS update, then swap out the processors when the update process is complete.
3. The Original Design Manufacturer (ODM) of the motherboard will support affected end users with an RMA exchange for a compatible motherboard, upon request. Affected end users are recommended to contact their local representative for the motherboard manufacturer to exchange their motherboard.
If your best option is to contact your motherboard manufacturer or their local authorized service provider, and they establish that your motherboard requires a BIOS update, and are not able to help you perform that update.
Please provide a summary or copy of your communication with the motherboard manufacturer to indicate why support from the Original Design Manufacturer (ODM) was not suitable.
AMD is in position to be able to provide a short-term loan of a Boot kit, such that you can Flash the BIOS yourself if the options described above do not enable you to successfully achieve a working system.
To qualify for this service, AMD will require a picture of your Ryzen with Radeon Vega graphics processor, that clearly shows the Model number and Serial number plus a copy of your purchase invoice.
Once we receive this information, we will be happy to review your claim to establish legibility for a Boot Kit loan.
In order to update this service request, please respond, leaving the service request reference intact.
Best regards,
Markus
AMD Global Customer Care
