Award flashprograms don't like this chip and crashes. Use a actual AMIflash it wi...

Halo, do it! Some years before I did crossflash my MS 6117 from AMI to Award and its working fine :D I suggest, take the last aviable Award BIOS, maybe a beta and if you also have the 32 Gb limitation, look for a patched BIOS. I did use the BIOSpatcher from http://rom.by/articles/BP/index_english.ht...

desolder BIOS Chip isn't painful ;-)

Hallo! Try this way: Take a hot air gun and add a stainless steel tube with 5 mm diameter on blow hole. I have only the cheap version with 3 step switch - without dimmer. But full power 550° is ok. But you must be carefull! Try to shove the BIOS chip to side and blow in circles around all pins. If t...

Hallo,

and thank you Denniss.
I don't have blind post, but this link was out of order some days before.
On an other link in this section I've found only a Asus BIOS for a 97 board with SIS chipset.


Bye and Thanks :)
