    GeneO is right.
    Replacing the BIOS chip is a last ditch effort. You should only be doing this because you have run the ASUS CrashFree BIOS 3 utility and it failed.

    Exactly. The ASUS CrashFree BIOS 3 utility failed so now there is nothing on the bios chip.

    I wish you good luck Beta. Doing what you are going to will require brain surgery-like precision and control. Even a few molecules of stray solder or a bit of over-heating will kill your board. But, it's of no use in its current condition.

    I will take lots of pics and video and make a guide out of it. A coworker is going to do it so I will be there to watch. There is not alot of good information on how to does this out on te internet. It is all spread out in a million links.

    Be interesting. I've seen how the factory does it. They have the bare PCB (printed circuit board), machines put in all the parts and they float it in a solder bath with very tightly controlled temps. Voilą! everything is soldered in one dipping pass.

    I'm curious. If you can't flash the old BIOS using the crash recovery, how are you going to flash the new BIOS?

    New chip I ordered will be sodered onto the board replacing the dead one.

    The new BIOS chip will have a BIOS version written on it.

    SUS soldered bios


    Read the entire thread. it seems to suggest you can reset an asus bios or correct a corrupt bios with a disk or usb. What is everybody thinking. If the bios is gone the board is fundamentally worthless. the only recourse is to solder a new bios. All that transfer and start the system in dos mode makes me want to puke. No bios no action.
