failed bios flash on a dell 7000 insp notebook

[chicago00]

I have a dell insp 7000 note book that some one screwed up a bio flash on , the power went it , i got

it for free and really want to try to fix it before i use the 14 inch lcd for my car computer, does

any one know how this can be done? i heard somewhere that i could remove the bios chip and then hot

swap it with a working bios chip on a another board and flash it , would that work? any one have any

ideas?

you guys have never failed me before thanks for help.

me e-mail

Yeah, hot swapping might work. Try it. Open up the lappy, look for the BIOS chip. Might be easier to order a new one. Also, contact support and pretend you are the original owner to get support (if it aint too old, maybe even if it is for sympathy). "Oh, I lost all the papers and stuff when I moved."

if the bios chip isn't soldered in & you have a buddy with the same m/board then you could try hotflashing!
good luck

Or hot solder/unsolder flashing!
