I accidently flashed my Gigabyte GA-M57-SLI-S4 Rev. 1 with a corrupted BIOS
file. The board does not boot anymore, just a black screen, no beeps, simply
dead.
I would be glad if I could save the money for a new board so I've got the
following question:
If I do the hardware-mod as shown in
http://private.vlsi.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/st/ and can obtain a
programmed flash rom with a valid BIOS inside, would it be possible to
reanimate the board again? Would it be neccessary to remove the original
Flash-BIOS or can leave it (permanently switched off) on the board?
If you do that modification, you'll have a switch or jumper to toggle between
your 2 chips. If the second one has a good image, this should work.
Thanks,
Ward.
