WELCOME

Welcome to Motherboard BiosflashUK, the premier solution to PC/LAPTOP system motherboard BIOS repair.

NEW :- FOR FASTER SERVICE GO TO MOTHERBOARD  REFERENCE ON LEFT AND SELECT YOUR MOTHERBOARD (make and model) FROM THE MANUFACTURERS LIST AND CLICK ON LINK TO PLACE ORDER.

If your motherboard model is not shown in the ref section, we can still help, just provide your motherboard/bios chip details at check out.

You have probably arrived at this site, due to your system being unable to POST(i.e. system powers on, with fans spinning etc, but no video output to the PC/LAPTOP connected screen), this is usually due to a failed BIOS update (i.e. virus, incorrect BIOS file, mains fail, network fail, and many other reasons), even if you have acquired a motherboard/system in this state, with these symptoms we always start at the BIOS(i.e. reprogram or replace BIOS chip with new programmed verified code),90% of these faults are BIOS related.

Help is now at hand :-)

I can reprogram your old chip or supply a new chip with a new BIOS and get your PC/LAPTOP motherboard up and running again, fast and efficiently, saving you time and money!

Q.What is a BIOS Chip?

A.It is a nonvolatile memory storage device. It is programmed with data supplied from the motherboard manufacturer(i.e. a BIOS file), written for their SPECIFIC motherboard hardware.

On many newer boards from 2008 on, most manufacturers are using serial 8-pin bios flash chips some socketed and some soldered, below is a picture of what a socketed 8-pin bios chip looks like (i.e. one that can be removed WITHOUT de-soldering):-

Below is a pic of an 8-PIN soldered BIOS CHIP, some of the newer motherboards from 2008 on are now fitted with this type of bios chip, this chip must be DE-SOLDERED then programmed and re-soldered back on the board for effective repair. On a small percentage of 8-pin soldered bios chips the manufacturers have included an In Circuit Programming Header, through this ISP header one can re-program the bios chip without the need for DE-SOLDERING the chip. This is a good idea in principal but!!!

Q. What is BIOS?

A.It is this software/code within the BIOS chip which makes the hardware (i.e. keyboard,mouse,disc controllers etc ), identifiable to your operating system, so if the bios fails (either through a bad BIOS upgrade/virus or chip failure), then this will render your computer/laptop/motherboard useless!

Q. What about Laptop BIOS?

A. We can repair most of these and correct password problems, obviously because laptops are built on a smaller footprint, they are more complex and require more work, all details and options are in the SHOP.
