Flashed with Wrong BIOS

[AgTech]

I flashed the BIOS and now the video on bootup is nearly impossible to read. There are lines all through the screen. I assume I used the wrong BIOS version. I tried moving the CMOS jupmer but the chip already has the new info. How can I get it back to where I can read it? I cannot see the screen to type to reflash it at this time. Or does anyone have the exact steps and what keystokres I should use and maybe I could do it blind. It is an Abit BH6 Motherboard.

It looks like the screen ays CMOS checksum error at the bottom.

Hope someone can help!!

Thanks.

Contact the Abit site and see if they have a work-around.

you can write the bin file with an eprom programer.(some pc shops have/offer that)
if you know somebody with same board you could boot that, unplugg the original bios chip, plug in yours and flash with correct bios. note: if you are not carefull you can destroy the chip/board.

Get the correct bios, put it on a floppy and boot the system up. The screen will stay blank but the bios will load from the floppy disk and flash. After the floppy activity stops for a few minutes switch the system off and reboot normally. You should be ok again. A bios flash will normally not overwrite the floppy boot part of the Cmoss chip, this is the reason it works. Good luck regards
