No floppy, no display

Gigabyte GA-BX2000 Intel 440BX AGPset - that's what it says on the manual at least.
Tried flashing the BIOS following the steps recommended on this site (which is very useful). awdflash said completed ok. On reboot: no signs of life. No life from the a:/ drive, and no display on AGP or PCI graphics cards. Unfortunately no access to an ISA graphics card to try and see what's happening.
Any thoughts? DualBIOS doesn't seem to have helped... The floppy i used has the original *.bin files backed up on it.
If there is no way to recover the board, any suggestions what to replace it with - as i want to reuse the internal gubbins - agp, scsi, network, sound, tv, modem cards, and the hard-drives. Of particular importance is support for an 80GB drive - the reason for my attempt at flashing. (go on, tell me the original bios does support and i just didn't find the settings...)
