Bad bios flash

One of my friends jus flashed his Asus K5A with a never bios so that he would be able to use a new 60Gb hd. But something went wrong as all he gets now is a black screen after the gfx-card's bios has shown when he turns the computer on.
Please come with some suggestions, and mind that I've not got access to the machine as he lives more than 100km away so it should be explained so that one that doesn't know that much about computers can understand it (in others words: I'm too lazy to convert it to normal speech if it can avoided😉)
 
You could also try c) get the bios chip reprogrammed with an Eprom programmer.

That's what my friend did when he had a problem with a flash and it wouldn't reset. He went to the local university and loaded the new bios onto the chip with the programmer.
 
aw man, that sucks with the bad flashes gone bad.

if your friend knows, eh actually too complicated. i was gonna say, if by chance u got the same exact mboard, then u could like swap the bios chip that got bad onto your good board and reflash it. it's all nasty and techie process, gotta pull the chip and stuff.
 
If you're lucky enough to have a similar BIOS chip, that isn't soldered to the board, you could try and use a bios savior (look on the net for it, IOSS makes em). It's worked for me in the past.
