Flash bios SPI chip with an EEprom Programmer

[mikenetsurfer]

The bios does not boot up when i power it up, I cheked the memory and the procesor and they work fine on other motherboard, so I think it might be a bios problem.

In the page of bios downloads of the motherboard (G31M-VS2) only appears files to update when the bios boot or when the operating system is up.

In order to program the chip with my programmer I need the whole file of the bios (a 4MB file).

Is there any place where i can dowload it?

Thanks for you collaboration

I usually use "flashrom" in Linux as well as "uniflash" under DOS.
It is best to use a separate eeprom programmer which I never had, because it was expensive here (about $200).

Thanks for your reply , finally i got time to test it and I succesfully programmed the chip and the motherboard came to live.

I really wish asrock would do something like gigabyte or msi with there bios recovery options
they have a 32 or a 64mb flash to work with there is no reason to not at least leave the boot-block recovery enabled or do something like msi that lets me "boot" another bios from a usb key

Yes makes sense.
