Ok basicly I have a dead mobo I'm trying to hotflash it as a last option.

Its an fn45v2 (NF2 board) and I'm trying to flash it in an A7S266VM (SiS) because its the only other thing I have.

Upon researching the bios chips from each, the one I'm trying to flash is 3.3v/2M and the mobo I'm trying to flash it on's chip is 5v/2M

I tried forcing it with uniflash, but it just got an error each time. And if I didn't force the command with the binary for that specific chip, it wouldnt detect it, only saying UNKNOWN and not allowing any options to flash.

So now I looked up that info, and I guess now that the difference because of the volts the different chips use I cant hot flash using this mobo...

Do I have to use another NF2 board?
Or are there any electronics stores to look for that can reprogram it cheaply? (I'm not just gonna start phoning all the hundreds of computer shops in the vancouver area, most of them wont know what I'm talking about)

Damn, I really dont want to spend the cash on a new mobo, THEN case and needed new ps along with new heatsinks and maby fans (going from SFF)
At first I was thinking it wasnt going to be much of a deal since mobos practicly the cheapest part of the system, but then comes all the junk I need.
