Help !! Failed BIOS upgrade

Flashed the rompaq using SP14127. Got no error messages and proceeded to recycle the power. Nothing happens. No POST whatsoever just the video card BIOS message followed by a flashing cursor.

Is is beyond hope..?

Hi, did it came up saying It had finish successfully with the upgrade. If not that might be the problem if it had not finish programming the rom. Sugg to try again (maybe the floppy version) if it does not come up you might have a system board problem it did not complete the rom upgrade properly.

Fixed. The problem was the graphics card. I removed it an re-installed the original one (1Mb Cirrus Logic) and it booted up fine. Huge sigh of relief. Thanks for the suggestion though.
