How long to get a BIOS chip reflashed?

[440sixpack]

Anyone know about how long I should expect this to take. The BIOS got fried on the initial update attempt so now I have to send it back to Soyo to be fixed. Anyone ever sent one back to them, and about how long did it take? Thanks in advance.

How long does it take to flash a bios, or how long does it take soyo to send you back your mobo?

To flash a bios literally takes a few seconds.

Waiting for your mobo will take however long it takes the lazy arse at the company to fix it and send it back to you

Ask them how long it will take. Always ask before you send.

In China there are places in computer stores where you can take your bios chip and get it flashed with a new bios. Don't ask me how I know or why I told you, lol.

How long it will take them to get it back to me. I'm a bit impatient as I've had this new MB for about 6 weeks, and now that I fried it during the initial install; well I'm a bit anxious to get it working.

You're looking at a month of downtime. That's why my Dad bought a "backup" board a little while a go. My brother's board wen out. He was bored for a month, anime piracy freak, BUY YOUR OWN ANIME DVD's!! Opps, sorry. Yeah, about a month.

Figures, I already dropped it in the mail, $15 to have Soyo do it. Oh well, stuck with the ol' KT133A for a few more weeks I guess. :frown: Thanks for teh link though, I will save that for future reference.
