Umm.. did it lockup part way through the reflash? if so, the first step it
does is erase the flash bios of the existing bios... then flash on new one..
if machine locks up, you no longer have a working bios. Which means the
machine won't boot. Let alone start. You'll need a new bios chip with the
bios on it. My guess is your board now does nothing when you turn it on
right?
