Help needed to flash the backup copy of crashed BIOS.

[kiran123]

I want to flash backup copy of Bios on to the BIOS chip wrongly Programmed and due to this the laptop won't boot. So is there any hardware which can flash the bios back using computer USB port and AMIFLASH utility.

If ur system is booting and showing to insert system disk, then u r lucky!

What u hv to do is just copy the AMIFLASH utility and the backup file to a win 98 bootable floppy and start ur system after inserting the disk.

Then simply give the command to again flash the BIOS.

If the system is not booting then i think u hv to replace the BIOS...

The laptop doen't have a floppy drive and system won't start/boot at all.
In case of BIOS replacement can you guide me to a shop in Mumbai/Bangalore.

If the system is not starting, then I don't think there is ne option left except replacing the BIOS.
