ken_cinder Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Bios is corrupted on my 933's motherboard, need the chip reflashed as the boot block isn't functioning as it should to recover the bios. The board is a Gigabyte 6vm7a+ and the chip is a 32 pin DIP. 256kb bios. I'd buy a new one, but at $20-$30 for a replacement chip, when I can replace the motherboard for around the same simply isn't worth it. It's also not worth it for me to replace the motherboard, as this computer isn't a necessity for me. I have 2 others I can move into it's place to take over as my file server if need be. Anyone here have the necessary equipment to reflash this for me if I covered the shipping? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 I have a programmer but it only does 24-pin chips. Besides, the shipping cost wouldn't be worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken_cinder Posted November 17, 2006 Author Share Posted November 17, 2006 Shipping on a chip about the size of my fingernail wouldn't be much, would fit in a little bubble package that could go as regular mail.Thanks anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
