The chip itself is not expensive. Their like pennies. It's just an EEPROM. Unfortunatley the reason why people charge a lot is because the end-user (you guys) don't know how to do it, and you need an EEPROM programmer. Here's the deal. If the EEPROM is removable, it shouldn't be that big of a deal. The hardest part is finding the same model EEPROM and finding the right flash for it (often times older motherboards are a pain to find the flash for it) The bigger problem is --> If the EEPROM is actually integrated into the motherboard (not socketed, but just sotter [sp] onto the motherboard) Then they have to unsotter [sp] it flash a new one, and sotter that onto it. Which is a whole bunch of liabilty. So it's easier to just send it back to the motherboard manufactorer to get it fixed. James Computer Technician
