Re: [PLUG] Recovering from bad BIOS flash


The one time this happened to me, I reported it to the motherboard
manufacturer, and they sent out a new eeprom chip.  It was pretty easy
to swap (e.g. not soldered), though I'm not sure that's the case for
all boards.  Hopefully.  :)

Thanks,
       Aaron
