    I am an idiot :(

    I was flashing my bios and it went wrong....well I bloody knocked the power off...idiot....now I get nothing when the pc is turned on.

    Its a Phoenix Bios K7 chip (which I can remove)
    Where can I get it reprogramed in dublin, all I need is a shop that has an eprom programmer.
    I have the bios for it.

    Help!! I need to know anywhere I can get it fixed.

    you can do a hot swap if u find someone with the same bios chip, preferable the same motherboard.

    I do, depending on the BIOS chip type. If it's PLCC (usually square) type I can prob do it, but if it's DIP type (rectangular) I can't.

    You would be a hero if you could do it.
    I've attached a pic of it.
    Can you do it?

    I should be able to. It'd be tomorrow night late before I could do it though. Can you get it to me, with a link to the BIOS file, or an update floppy?
    PM for my address details.

    I got it working :)

    I pulled out the battery and tried to boot, wouldn't, obviously.
    When I put it back in it booted straight away with my new bios.

    What happened?
    Was it holding onto some CMOS settings?

    It working :D

    Thanks to Wizzard for the offer of help, it shows why boards is a cool place!

    Should it happen again, I've had to use http://www.flashbios.org before and found them excellent. Based in Holland.
