Hopefully this is a good forum to post this and someone can help.

Tried to flash the bios on this Award 6.00PG and now get one long beep and
what appears to be two short beeps. Nothing on the screen. Reset bios jumper
was tried but that didn't work either. The board is a M81DC-X, PII Celron
500. 256 Megs of ram.
The oLD bios string was 02-14-2000, i810-W83627HF-6A69MDL9C-00

Where to from here?

Thanks

Could well be, that after replacing the jumper, your VGA or AGP
card was not seated properly.

Power off, open the case, and see that the card is seated
properly, including any tywraps or handles it may have.

Then, cross your fingers and hope that this was the problem.
As a faulty bios-flash may be a big problem Smile

This has on-board video. There is an AGP slot but never ever used it. I
don't have a ISA or PCI video card to test with.
