Hello every one,
I tried to update this mainboard BIOS to the last version vba-2bab.bin, in order to recognize a larger hard drive.
However, after flashing the mainboard I got the following error:
BIOS ROM CHECKSUM ERROR
AWARD BOOTBLOCK BIOS V 1.0
Ok, no problem, I decided to put back the backup bios I saved in the floppy and then the problem started: Write fail RED blocks during the flash attempt.
System rebooted with same error, tried again and now the error is:
SYSTEM IS NOT NEW AWARD BIOS...
PLEASE PROGRAM ROM BIOS FIRST.
What to do now ?
I tried uniflash 1.32, but had no luck. Also tried to HOT FLASH it and no luck. What can I do?
Thanks in advance.

Aiiiiiiiiiiieeeee
You know, this is the first time this happens to me. I just can't beleive it.
What I does not understand is, why it starts to flash it and then looks like the BIOS chip just can't be programmed.
I got even another chip identical to the original one, thinking it was the chip that was deffective. I tried to flash it and I got the same result.
Now I beleive this have to be a curse on me.
Any Ideas ?

I have the same problem with my SOYO SY-6VBA133!!
What happens with its??
What can I do??
I need a new chip? Or a new motherboard??
Where can I find a Pentium III motherboard with Slot 1??
How can I reprogram my FLASH? Any idea?

check bios chip part number under the sticker.
if 28 in it: 12V flash chip
if 29 in it: 5V flash chip
check flash voltage setting
