I don't know for sure but is there any back up bios options on shuttles? If all else fails you could try a hot flash

what's a hot flash?

A hot flash is if u boot the PCwith a working Bios chip. Then Hot swap it with the damaged/corrupted bios chip while running then flash it.

I think thats what utherpendragon is refering 2.

if you dont know what a hot flash is mate then prob best not to try it.

your cheapest option maybe to try and sorce a replacement bios chip

yes agree with kidloco, anyway your need another chip to do the hotswap.

Chill tho mate your get it all fine again soon when the new Chip arrives.
