I have a PC Packard Bell club 300xk and the BIOS are dead. The bios won’t show his ID and I asked support off Packard Bell what bios I need but they won’t answer me. Is there someone who can help me my handbook tells me it is a Packard Bell mediatrainer 2 moederbord whit a 2 Mbits flash-component met boot-block? When I start the PC he tells me award bootblock bios v.1.0 1998

A couple of places to start looking:
Ray's Packard Bell Site
http://www.uktsupport.co.uk/pb/pbidx.htm

[update] or better, http://www.packardbell.co.uk/support/node485.asp

although that shows 6 possible motherboards for Synphony Club series - I think you will need to open the box, or look for a reference in the manual to "Miami", "Houston", "Bora", Athena", "MS6191" etc.

The UK Packard Bell support site listed above is quite nice because it gives you a little diagram of the motherboard when you click on the name. That should help you to identify the motherboard.
