Many modern Bios is retained in low-power ram fed by a battery. Typically, if you remove the bios battery and then re-insert it, it will cause the bios to reset to its hard-wired default. Then you can re-flash.

Its been 2 years since I had to do something like this. So this could all be bad memory (haha)

      - Of course, Bowser, both Davin and I assume you already checked for a dead battery... (n/t) - Tom Brosz - 10/21/2004 8:41:53 PM
        
        Yeah, it's a great idea, and I did. The problem is no video. - Bowser - 10/21/2004 11:52:05 PM
        
        Does it beep when it starts? - SDG - 10/22/2004 12:12:03 AM
        
        No. Just no video. Now, following up, it's working. - Bowser - 10/22/2004 4:13:48 AM
