bios flash scrwed up on A7N266-VM- anyone flash or have spare?

the bios didnt verify for some reason even though it was the correct version and for the right board. I now have a dead a7n266-vm.

does anyone have a spare chip from a dead board or have a flasher device that will do it?

I've tried hot swapping with a p4b533- no luck with any flasher software.

cheers

Is the BIOS chip socketed or surface mount?

socketed

Might be possible to recover your motherboard, either fit in a new chip, or remove yours and re-programe with a eeprom programmer (our business recovered a badly flashed laptop, and that involved removing chip from the motherboard, surface mount)

that's what I was asking for, either someone to reprogram it or to send me a spare they may have in a dead a7n266
