Hotflash Service Available?

Does anybody happen to know any hotflash services available? Specifically in the Bay Area?

Yes, I have a old but legendary DFI LanParty UT 250GB and ECS nFORCE3-A. Both are in excellent and the ECS I never used.

Typical symptoms of just not booting at all and I confirmed all of my other items are working. Looking to sell and donate the proceedings or buy a rig with some spare parts and donate but either way.
 
Not understanding what you're saying.
You have 2 older motherboards that won't boot at all?
And you want to see if flashing their bioses will fix them?
A successful outcome seems doubtful.
 
My guess based on the age of those motherboards and common problems I recall from that era... failing capacitors.
 
Capacitors like OST and KZE Chemicon are more likely to fail than any BIOS is, and those 2 brands are known to fail without bulging on top since their rubber plugs on bottom leak.

To remove the BIOS chips, use a proper pulling tool since prying them with a screwdriver often cracks the sockets.
