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?
Yes, go to the SOYO site and look at the upgrading your bios section - I did the same thing. It tells you how to make a "rescue disk" that should be able to save the bios for you. If not, they tell you where you cansend your chip to for programming [iirc]
Good luck!
Great news- but I cannot find any reference to a rescue disk on their site. In the FAQ they only talk about returning the chip to a SOYO centre. Do you have the URL? TIA Terence
