I have two motherboards, cheap A7V600-x, of which one has a corrupt BIOS
during a BIOS upgrade.

I have tried to do a hotflash method by removing the BIOS chip and putting
in the working motherboard.

The board boots up and then I swap the BIOS chip.

However when running the upgrade I get " Flash Protection is switch on" from
aflash.exe.

How do I get around this?

Change the jumper to enable flashing the BIOS.
