Ok, here is the deal...

I have 3 of these boards.

I went to flash one the other day and it failed to flash... I tried to solve it with its previous BIOS but again, that failed?

Now, cutting a long one short, I have now somehow failed to flash 2 boards. I have one good board that Im not going to flash ( Oh, I wonder why? ) and 2 boards that no matter what I do, fail to flash.

I have a fairly stupid number of flasher programs and an even bhigger collection of BIOSes, both MODDED and official and NONE of them will flash with any version of any program I have either through DOS or a WINFLASH.

What I have been doing, is using a good BIOS Chip to boot with, and then swapping the chips over in order to actually do the flash, but every time it fails???

Can anyone give me a walk through on recovering the BIOS on these buggers?

Back when I used them as my main board I flashed the hell out of them and never had a single problem, but now, I just cannot do it???

Oh, and yes, I have also re-downloaded everything fresh from the Abit site too... Again, no help.
 
Bugger just done it.

dont know what I did, but as soon as it seemed to go through the process, I swapped the other duff chip and re-flashed again and both CMOS flashes are good ones... Older, but good at least and all 3 now boot up as they should.

PHEW!
