Mainboard manufacturers should be required by law to include not only a flashable bios, but also a hardcoded read only bios that you can switch to with a physical switch in order to recover a broken bios. Seriously, how is that not a standard by now?
Edit: Cool, they changed the update procedure to run under dos
Code:
How to flash EC firmware: 1. Plug in AC adaptor. 2. Run ECFlash.bat under pure DOS to start EC flash procedure, the system will shut down automatically when the procedure is finished. 3. Plug off AC adapter for 5 seconds then plug in AC adapter. 4. Power on system and enter CMOS setup to check EC firmware version.
Code:
How to flash BIOS ROM: 1. Plug in AC adaptor. 2. Enter CMOS setup to disable "Intel Anti-Theft Technology" if the item is available. 3. Enter CMOS setup to check the EC firmware version, if the version is 1.00.xx then it is necessary to update EC firmware at first. 4. Run Meset.exe under pure DOS environment, system will restart automatically. 5. Run flashme.bat under pure DOS, system will shut down automatically. 6. Plug off AC adapter for 5 seconds then plug in AC adapter. 7. Power on system, the system will restart automatically. 8. Enter CMOS setup to check BIOS version and load system default, save changes and reboot. 9. If the original BIOS settings are different from system default, please enter CMOS setup to change BIOS settings before system loads Windows.
Maybe I'll do that. It's from April 2013. Not much newer, but still a bit.
