I attempted to flash the BIOS from version 1004 to 1007. It erased the previous ROM, installed the new ROM BIOS, but failed the EEPROM check. I turn it off and turn it back on and now it's beeps constantly as if the RAM is bad. Assuredly, the RAM is good, and I've tested with known working RAM and the board still beeps.
I'm sure the BIOS flash went bad. However there may be light at the end of this tunnel, I just need precise instructions.
I have an identical board that works perfectly. Is there any way to use THAT BIOS to fix the broken one, via reflashing it or something? I'll have to find a floppy drive and disk somewhere if that is necessary.
