DIL bios chip backward-reverse, I have damaged my mainboard?
Yesterday I tried to replace my mainboard bios with a coreboot image.
Was the first time for me inserting the chip, and..I insert in wrong side. This is correct side https://www.biosflash.com/images/dil_socket_kreise.jpg I put the part with the green circle in the other side! Of course the motherboard don't start I can only turn on and off (no bios splashscreen, no video output) But bios in the programmer can be erased and saved (and re-write) My question is: is possible my motherboard or the cpu is damaged? |

Best case scenario is you just damaged the BIOS chip and you need to replace it a new one. Worst case is it damaged the motherboard.

Socketed E˛Prom chips are pin-compatible with Eprom. So, as an ex-hardware guy, I can tell you you have performed the Frankenstein trick of reversing the polarities. You put the negative lead to +, and vice-versa.
Most of the other leads don't matter. Inherent in each FET is a reverse diode. So all those reverse diodes were forward biased and conducted a high current Your only protection is that they did this together. You'll have to see what survived. Here's a few guesses
If you have or can borrow another Programmed BIOS in a chip of the same size, ideally from a blown m/b, you might insert it and turn on the machine. ASCII on the monitor would be a sign of life in the m/b. You will probably need to replace the BIOS chip anyhow. Switch on the motherboard with everything on, and monitor heat on parts that shouldn't get hot. If they do, goodbye motherboard. Allow a few minutes. Parts may get lukewarm, but no more. If they keep getting hotter, say goodbye. |
Today new bios arrived, installed it and works fine.
This time I was lucky. |
Did any of the wheezes I suggested yield any information?
