As the subject announces, I seem to have flashed
my bios to change the stupid boot logo that appears
and upon next boot all I got was a black screen and no activity.

I know, I know... don't laugh as this is a serious matter which
is causing me not to play BF2.

I have a :

    ECS KV2 Extreme Motherboard
        CPU      
    Socket 939  Athlon™ 64 3200+ single core processor.
        VIA® K8T800 Pro
    North Bridge: VIA® K8T800 Pro
    South Bridge: VIA® VT8237
      MEMORY    
    Dual-channel DDR 2 gigs
    AUDIO
        Turtle Beach Catalina 7.1 Surround
        ATI Radeon X1300 512mb
      Award BIOS with 4Mb Flash ROM
   

-I've already tried removing battery and power cord
for a few minutes to reset CMOS,

I played with the BIOS overwrite jumpers and everything.
It came with a Top Hat Flash BIOS Chip that u physically put on
top of BIOS chip and reboot, and that thing flashes the  BIOS
back to default.

But I lost the damn thing. Dohh
AHHHHHHHHHHrrggggg Please help me!

contact your mobo manufacturer, they can usually send you a new bios chip with the latest bios on it already, then you just have to take the old one out and put the new one in

And there we have the number one reason NOT TO flash your BIOS.

Yeah, the boot logo may be stupid, but wouldn't you rather have a working PC with a stupid boot logo than a non-working PC without it?

Now please excuse me while I go and laugh my ass off...

































(sorry, it's only funny 'cos I've done similar things myself in the past - and that's how I learnt that if it ain't broke, you don't fix it!)
