Here's a Guide on BIOS Programmer: http://www.jefro.net/astrobios-8-19-03.pdf
It will give you all the information regarding to BIOS and its reprogramming.
The BIOS can be reprogrammed using a modern EPROM programmer - most technicians don't have this tool - or using a working motherboard as a BIOS programmer.
- Turn on the good motherboard and boot it with the floppy (of course you will need to install CPU, memory, VGA etc to this motherboard for it to work).
- At the DOS prompt, remove the good chip and replace it with the erased chip (more on this below). Yes, with the computer turned on.
- Run the programming software and reprogram the bad chip.
- Turn off the computer, remove the reprogrammed chip and install back the original (good) chip.
- Install the reprogrammed chip on the "killed" motherboard and test it.
- The defective motherboard should be working now.
- Use data recovery and antivirus software on the hard disk from the attacked PC, since it will be infected.
