| 676543 | 2008-06-09 01:04:00 | Did the thing with flashing the bios only it wouldn't install the new Bios. Did this under windows following the user guide. Have tried to get it going with the suport CD but nothing but it keeps re-starting. So, can anyone help me find a repairer for this board. I think the chip must be soldered but I can't identify it!!?? All advice and info gratefully received. |

| 676545 | 2008-06-09 02:52:00 | Dont do it in Windows Put the update on a floppy or bootable USB flash drive. And flash it in DOS Or if you have a floppy (the update), rename it to whatever the manual says. And reboot. Press Alt (or Ctrl-F2). It'll flash the BIOS |

| 676546 | 2008-06-09 03:58:00 | Use the Crashfree BIOS recovery procedure if it failed part way through. 1. Boot the system. 2. When a corrupted BIOS is detected, the following screen message appears Bad BIOS checksum. Starting BIOS recovery... Checking for floppy If there's no floppy disk found in the drive, the system automatically checks the CD-ROM. 3. Place the support cd in the CD-ROM. The support CD contains the original BIOS for this motherboard. Bad BIOS checksum. Starting BIOS recovery... Checking for floppy... Floppy not found! Checking CD-ROM... CD-ROM found. Reading file "*****.ROM". Completed. Start flashing... 4. When the BIOS update process is completed, reboot the system. Why are you trying to flash it anyway, you should only do this if there is a problem you need to fix. |

| 676547 | 2008-06-09 06:54:00 | Those boards use new 8-Pin DIL EEPROMs rather than the older 32-Pin PLCC ones - that's why you can't find it. Took me a while the first time I had a look at one of those boards too ;) Crashfree will probably work but if not you shouldn't need to desolder it - the one I saw was in a socket |
