No need to find another person to do it - you already seem to have the =
tools !!!

Download the right bios and flash utility from ASUS ...

Boot up into DOS using the correct flash (boot from DOS floppy with no =
memory management etc)

remove the BIOS chip CAREFULLY ... insert bad BIOS chip carefully (no pins =
in wrong slots etc)

now run the flash utility

Everything should be fine now : )=20

HOWEVER ... I used to work in a PC assembly plant as a Tech - we had a =
bunch of boards from Soyo I think - some would get flashed and be fine =
others wouldn't - I tracked it down to a certain batch number of the flash =
chip that was screwing up. Did it go screwy after you flashed it?

I used the above routine to fix the 100 or so boards we had bad.

I mentiond this a while back in the list and tried all the tricks and tips
that a few people advised me of but nothing worked.  I have an ASUS MB =
with
a SST39SF020 90-4C-PH Award Flash 2Mbit BIOS chip.  The chip is definatly
not right in the head since I swapped it with the BIOS in an identical MB
which did work.  So, I'm wondering if there is anybody (Preferably near =
the
San Diego, CA area) that has the ability to re-program such a chip?  Some
links to spec sheets and the BIOS Image file are below:

BIOS Chip Number: SST39SF020 90-4C-PH
BIOS Chip URL:
http://www.partminer.com/design_center/images/pdf/D2716781.pdf  (you must
log in to PM first, then paste the link)
BIOS Image: ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/ASUS/beta/mb/bios/p3bf1071.zip=20
BIOS Image FIle: 1007f.001 (256K)

I'd be happy to pay you for your efort.  Thanks for any help.
