G73JH Easy Flash Bios Update (Nothing turns on) New motherboard?

After trying to update the bios unsuccessfully nothing on my laptop turns on, no lights, no spin up of fans or the screen lighting up in blackness. I have it completely disassembled at the moment and have gotten very good at it trying to reset the batter on the bios and other things. Problem is I couldnt find a repair shop with enough knowledge to actually have balls to do something more than look at the thing :\ any help guys? I will do anything and everything before I buy a new motherboard. Also can I just buy a new bios chip?

 

Sounds like easiest fix would be to buy a replacement BIOS chip off ebay ($15-20) and then replace it. As long as you are able to do it yourself, though if you aren't and it is disassembled it shouldn't be hard to find a repair shop that will do it for you (with you supplying the chip of course). Did you use a fresh FAT formatted USB stick for updating it? If so very bad luck it didn't work.

 

Hi, read the this thread for inspiration -> http://forum.notebookreview.com/asu.../656498-g74sx-circuit-reprogram-bios-spi.html

Helped me a few months ago ;-)

I'd say it's more than worth the $100 to get it working again.
