asus a7v333 bios problem
Posted: Sun Sep 01, 2002 5:26 pm
Hello.
I've tried updating my a7v333 bios with file 1012.004 unzipped from 1012-004.zip, which i got from ftp.asus.com.tw. It went wrong, probably because of this file is not a proper bios update file. It's a sfx lzh archieve containing file System.rom . Now the chip is full of garbage and computer doesn't start: no video signal, no fdd activity. I tried programming my bios chip with programmer, but it's software told me of "incorrect chip identifier" for the correct chip type i selected. It seems like the chip is unoperable now. And there's no such chip in local stores around.
I wonder what type of chip can i use as a substitude for the original? The original was SST 49lf020 33-4c-nh - 2Mbit 3.3volt 33Mhz PLCC LPC chip.
Thank you.
