THANKS !!!

what I'm doing is using amibcp75 to remove the 1039:6330 bios from the ks741 MB bios. using cbrom to /vga release, then using /vga NEWVGA.ROM. It all looks right. If I then open it in wflash, wflash doesn't know what kind of bios it is.....

All I see on that site is 2.07 and 2.15... However, I finally found another link and tried 2.20 - same results.

Oh, sorry - I missed that you were looking for 2.20 - I just knew that 2.07 works for a lot of stuff that older cbroms, for example 1.13, do not.

recent cbrom:

to fix the checksum:
open the modded bios with modbin and save it. that's all.

What's the On-board VGA in Bootblock stuff? Could this be causing trouble?

[jbell]

any ideas? HP now says it will be mid-end of week before they reply.
I've tried the /btvga but don't think it works the way I think it does.

any other known tools besides cbrom that might work for me?


UPDATE:
HP just sent me an new bios with 2.51 SIS vbios in it.
cool....

How to Set 1360 X 768 resolution on my LG W1941S LCD Monitor

MotherBoard: ASRock K7S41
VGA: SiS 741
Monitor: LG W1941S

Dear all,

I am not able to get the above resolution on my new monitor, it can only set to 1024 X 768.

I have done the following:
Update VGA driver to version UVGA3 3.85
Download new BIO to Version 2.60 but not able to load to the existing BIOS.

I follow all instructions from:

http://www.asrock.com/support/faq.asp?k=k7s41

I use 775VM800/P4VM800/K7S41GX/K7S41 motherboards. Do these models support 1440x900 resolution?(7/21/2006)

If your board is K7S41, Please update BIOS to P2.30 or later and VGA driver to 3.73 or later version.

http://www.asrock.com/mb/download.asp?Model=K7S41
http://www.sis.com/download/agreement.php?id=155931




I have download the 2 files ASRflash.exe and K7S41_2.60 and put them into a floppy drive.
Then I go to CMD and type

A:\ASRflash K7S41_2.60

It gives these details:

DOS/4G Protected Mode Runtime Version 2.01a
Copyright (c) Tenberry Softare, Inc 1996
> Error 18 - Chipset/Flash part isn't available. The function will be invaild.

Anyway to deal with these?

I really hope your floppy was a bootable floppy disk like one created by the little program called drdflash.exe. With you typing CMD it looks like you tried to flash from the command/DOS window inside windows. If it was the latter then you're lucky not to have killed your Bios.
