Hi!

I managed to flash my Presario with what appears to be the wrong BIOS. The previous version was VBE-A1013A. I flashed it with the VBE0226B.BIN file from Biostar's website. Since that the machine is dead. How can I, or who can please, re-flash my BIOS chip with the VBE-A1013A version?

TIA, Joerg

By now I guess you have a fix.
BIOS Biostar M6VBE-A 0323B seems to be what you should be looking for.
If not fixed, did you read the FAQ on the main site?
If you have a replaceable BIOS chip and cannot hot-flash there are commercial companies such as www.badflash.com who can supply a replacement but want $24.99

For $25 I would rather take my chances on a second hand board. Also, I currently have enough access to cheap boards that are sold as not properly working which I would purchase and once it is mine, then borrow the BIOS chip from. (and not return :D ).
