It depends on the type of flash RAM they used - it doesn't have a little opaque window on top of the BIOS chip does it?
No, no such window.
I found someone on ebay selling new BIOS chip for $12.
it will be programmed for my laptop model.
It should work. I have sent email, waiting for reply.
I will update soon
I have update, I got BIOS chip.
And bingo!!!!
That was the problem, somehow I damaged my older BIOS chip.
I am going to try to install Ubuntu, I hope this time it goes smoothly.
I doubt you damaged it, some IC damage especially static damage can take years to manifest. Well done getting it swapped, let us know how you get on.
