Tried to flash new bios and messed up! HELP!!

migkiller49 · 01-25-05, 05:43 AM

Hello folks,

I'm new to this forum. I hope someone can give me some qualified advise.
I've recently tried to update the Bios of my Geforce FX5600 card and messed up.
I kept getting error messages like "Board ID MISMATCH", then I saved the existing Bios on the floppy and next erazed it on the EPROM. I tried to flash the bios again.
That was all during the same session. The PC was runnig without any restart. Then I finally restarted it without a successfull bios flash and now nothing works anymore. The card doesn't work anymore.
Is there a way to fix it or is it gone for good?
Please tell whre I'm at.

thanks

Search here for 'PCI flash BIOS' or 'blind flash bios'.

There's a website that collects bios images.

I don't recall the site though. Perhaps they have the version you require?

Anyone know the website I'm talking about? Metval or Mevkal or Merkal or someone like that runs it.
