Good Day!

I encounter BIOS checksum error when I boot my PC. I try to Flash its BIOS but while the flash is running, my PC was accidentally shutdown. When I boot my PC again, my PC doesn't work anymore, no display, not reading in any drive.

Is there any hope for my PC to work again?!
thanks in advance for your reply...

Did you check #9 and #27 in the FAQ at www.wimsbios.com ?
Does the FDD try to read a diskette ?
Does the mobo beep at power-on ?

If the suggestions in the FAQ do not work, you cannot find someone to flash a chip for you and you cannot use another PC to hotflash, I guess you should contact a company like www.badflash.com for a new chip, with the details of your motherboard.
