BIOS Updates forum

HI all!!

The flashing went wrong. The last block was WRITE FAIL. Now my bios is corrupted. It didn't work because i found out the the VOLTAGE of the NVRAM battery was 700MV instead of 2.8V. TOO LATE!!

My board is

DFI NFII Ultra infinity
BIOS DATE 11/27/2003
I get the file ; NF2UIDB24.zip (latest update on DFI website)


Wath do i do with corrupted bios?? I heard about HOTFLASH.

Is that dangerous for the Mainboard???

Could i HOTFLASH if i take an ABIT NF7-S rev2 just for booting to the floppy and then removing the ABIT bios, inserting the DFI bios and flash that scrap???

Sorry but i'm confuse on FLASHER software. Wich one should i use??

I also heard about copying a AUTOEXEC.BATCH on a floppy with the flasher soft and bios file. It says to enter the line AWDFLASH_name of file
in the .BATCH file.

Wath exectly do i need to WRITE in that AUTOEXEC file??

I would appreciate your help and tanks a lot!!

Waiting for new bios...

Nobody have experiences?

Is it dangerous for the motherboard?

I did the HOTFLASH.

In DOS, the FLASH program started to flash the corrupted bios i inserted in another BIOS SOKET motherboard. It flashes everything but

I SEE WRITE BLOCK fails in the pictures!!

I think the BIOS is still corrupted because of theese WRITE BLOCK fail!!


WHY do i get WRITE BLOCK FAIL??

write block fail means bad bios chip. get a replacement at DFI or at http://www.badflash.com

Tank you Ed!!

Question. Is ithe fact that the BIOS chip is BAD is the responsability of DFI ??

I mean do i have to PAY for another BIOS or DFI must provide me with a new one for free??

I appreciate your help!!

If your board is still in warranty they will have to replace it. Have you emailed/contacted DFI yet?
