Got a BIOS off wwwtwinheadcom and flashed it.

Laptop wont boot now.

I know its an AMI BIOS and that usually you can recover an AMIBIOS using a floppy drive. Trouble is its a laptop so no floppy drive.

Any ideas?

I've tried hitting TAB as it boots and it displays a bit more information.

It seems to be trying to laod the BIOS I fashed onto it at least. Goes through 'Press DEL to run Setup' etc.

Initialisting USB Controllers .. Done
2040MB OK

and there it hangs.

Tried hitting DEL (before it gets this far) and it says Entering SETUP but still hangs at the same point.
