where is everybody

most modern motherboards have a bios "chip"(not really sure what its called lol,sorry) that can be removed and replaced
most manufacturers charge around 10.00 for it and any mom and pop shop should be able to replace it rather than send the board back to abit.call them and see if this is a viable solution to your mobo.

hth

Your post is confusing as hell, but what I think you're trying to say is that you flashed your BIOS with the wrong one, and now your board won't boot. There are several ways to fix this:

1) Try clearing your CMOS (this very rarely works, but occasionally it will)
2) Perform a "hot-swap", where you find a friend who has your same motherboard, boot from his BIOS, enter the flashing utility, then exchange his BIOS with yours, and flash
3) Get a local store or Abit to sell you a pre-flashed BIOS, and install that in your NF7 (as Wolfsraider already said, this costs about $10)

Good luck, and I hope you can fix your problem.

This process works for most boards but is NOT 100% successfull.

(btw only works if you have a floppy drive)
1. d/l the correct bios file on another computer and place the extracted files on to a blank floppy disk
2. place the disk into the floppy drive, power up and pray that it POST with the bios file from the floppy disk


BTW, some boards require you to enter key combinations, check with your board manufacturer for the correct process with your board. If fails, try the above idea, or check with www.badflash.com for a $20 bios reflash.

If there was a local place they probably would have just flashed you one for free if you had explained it.

Either way, at least it works

For those not so lucky to take it back after your error, badflash.com can provide bios chips for most mobos, cost a bit more than $10 IIRC.

 

[Shimmishim]

excaliberpc has extra bios chips and chip removers....

but anyway...

LOL, I hope it wasn't Fry's, cause those idiots will put a white sticker on it, and put it right back out there with the brand-new stock
