It would work, but is extremely dangerous. There is a chance of the IC
catching fire and other nastiness.


-----Original Message-----
If you realized your BIOS has been destructed, any low risk chance that you
start  the pc with another BIOS, run the utility and when the utility is
about to reprogram the BIOS, CAREFULLY make a HOT swap and insert the
destructed one? All this with the power on and with the MOBO on a adequate
surface, plastic tools, etc.
Would it work.
