I flashed my mobo's bios and it now doesn't boot any more

What can I do ?

1-It's a P5n-mx, Nvidia Chipset.
2-May I hotflash it on a different board.
3-It's eprom is 8 MB- can hot flash on a mobo with 4 Mb eprom.I mean can I plug my 8 MB eprom in a mobo working with one of 4 mb.
4-Will the trick of placing a flopy with the bios in works with asus boards, even if there's no beep nor keyboard led on


Thanks

I'l apreciate any help

1 made by Asus. How did you flash it what did you use from which website?
2 if the chip can be removed, most likely yes. uniflash or flashrom
3 you would need to know if that other board will support 8MB chips also. Personally, I would not risk it.
4 the bootblock method should also work on Asus board, i think they have an article in their FAQ section of the support.asus.com website

hmmm they should mention to always use the latest release version from the website. I don't understand why they even bother putting a version on the CD, it's bound to be outdated by the time the board reaches the enduser. Oh well, I hope they have a decent recovery tool.
