Abit AW9D-Max won't POST - not even with replacement BIOS!

Now I've tried different PSU's and RAM, but no joy. No POST.
The good thing about this board is that it has a multi segment LCD display on. It always shows "9.0." who, which the manual seems to think is a BIOS issue.
Ok, I peeled off the sticker on the original BIOS, and it says "SST 49LF008A" on there.
So I ordered a replacement BIOS from this place:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0124614218
And it eventually came, but it says W39V080FAPZ on it! I e-mailed the place, and they said:
"I think the BIOS (W39V080FAPZ) will match with SST 49LF008A."
Fair enough. I tried out the W39V080FAPZ, and still, no POST!
Is the board dead or should I try and get a working SST 49LF008A?
