OT Blown my BIOS- Help Definitely Needed!

Hello All, I finally plucked up courage to upgrade my Award BIOS (VIA Apollo VP3 chipset, SOYO board), saved the original settings, flushed the chip, and then the SOYO software hung on me during flash-writing it. I have cleared the CMOS etc., but to no avail. I would be grateful for any advice on this: a. Can I get round this, and if so, how? b. If not, can I get a replacement chip easily (and cheaply)? Thanks to anyone who can help me on this. Terence
