    How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

      Yeah I built one of them a few years ago when they were early P4s. I wasn't that impressed with the quality then to be honest I've since switched my allegience to Macs and I'm able to get through the entire day without swearing at the computer.

        Can you build your own Macs now?

            The saga continues.....

            Just swapped the BIOS chip in from a 2nd machine & hey presto it booted

            So is there anyway of using the good BIOS chip to flash the second?

            What are my options on a Saturday morning..

              Send the BIOS chip back to the manf or find someone with a flash programmer. I sold mine about 2 years ago otherwise I would have done it for you.

                Is it not possible to short some things to reset BIOS? I though modern computers had 2 BIOSes - one read only to use in case 1st one get whacked - I think they decided to do something like this after one virus that was flashing BIOSes.

                  Some of them do - it's usually a high end thing on overclockers boards in case you feck up your BIOS. It's not a "normal" feature.
