Hello,
Flashing my Compaq Armada 1750 my upgrade chrashed.
The disk in the a-drive became corrupt.
Now my Armada won't boot.
And he won't boot from another disk.

HEELP!

Is replacing the mainboard the only solution?
If so: i have to burry the compaq.
I'm realy sad!

Does it read from the floppy? Or nothing at all?

Read the "Dead BIOS in a Compaq Presario 1246" topic (a few topics below). It has Boot Block Recovery pads on the system board allowing to boot from recovery floppy.
