    Bad ram should not corrupt the BIOS.

    Try a power pull reset.

    1. Pull battery.
    2. Dis-connect power supply.
    3. Hold switch on for 20 seconds...repeat several times.
    4. Plug in power supply. (not the battery yet)
    5. [F2] [F9] [F10] (boot to bios, set to defaults, save)

    How can you flash it with a corrupt BIOS?
    I would be surprised if it would boot with a corrupt BIOS.
    Does the BIOS have a password on it?
