Bad BIOS flash... I think

[kye199]

Ok... I think I really messed it up.
I tried flashing my ECS K7S5A BIOS to accept my new XP CPU and it started flashing I think and then my monitor went black and the LED went yellow and yet the LED on the floppy was still lit, but no floppy sounds. So I let it sit there for awhile thinking it was flashing maybe, or maybe not. So after 15 minutes I just hit the restart button, and it restarted reading from the floppy for like 5 seconds and went quiet and sat there, no post or anything. So I cleared the CMOS and still the same thing, nothing. I'm thinking I need a new BIOS chip... so tell me I'm wrong or tell me where I can get one.
(sorry for the long post, but I'm trying to be as descriptive as possible
Thanks

Now we're rockin like dokken!

Did you enable the cmos jumper with the power supply unplugged? If that doesn't work, I would check your local pc shop and see if they can flash your bios chip for you (usually $5-10). ECS may charge you $15-25 for a replacement bios chip (with shipping charges, etc.), or you can request an rma (returned merchandise authorization) from the place you bought the mobo, and wait 2-3 weeks for a replacement board under warranty. They will have to test the old one before shipping you a replacement. Just tell them it doesn't work; not that you had a bad bios flash.
