Hi there,
I recently ourchased the GA-7VRXP Gigabyte motherboard, and proceeded to destroy the BIOS (without backing it up to the backup bios or floppy disk), Yes thats right, im a genius.
After eventually getting gigabytes number (thanks Heathen) and speaking to Gigabyte, they say they wil fix it costing me:
a: £5 if the BIOS is removable (mentioned something about sliding a thin screwdriver underneath it)
OR
b: £25 if it is not removable and I have to send the entire goard back.
By the way, I have run all the rescue utilities that are meant to re-flash the bios, nothing helped, please assume that the bios is DEAD.
Question is:
Has anyone removed the bios before (Any tips)?
Why dont Gigabye know if the BIOS is removable on my board (since they made it)?
any other useful comments, (apart from maybe I should back up BIOS before upgrading)
Many thanks
Graham
