I accidently flashed my Gigabyte GA-M57-SLI-S4 Rev. 1 with a corrupted BIOS file. The board does not boot anymore, just a black screen, no beeps, simply dead.
I would be glad if I could save the money for a new board so I've got the following question:
If I do the hardware-mod as shown in http://private.vlsi.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/st/ and can obtain a programmed flash rom with a valid BIOS inside, would it be possible to "reanimate" the board again? Would it be neccessary to remove the original Flash-BIOS or can leave it (permanently switched off) on the board?
If you do that modification, you'll have a switch or jumper to toggle between your 2 chips. If the second one has a good image, this should work.
Thanks, Ward.
