    Half a dozen answers are running through my head, most of them snarky.

    The short, unhelpful answer is "with a appropriate programmer and the proper data."

    With a little more information - the part number of the IC you wish to program - I might have been more specific.

    NOW, making a big leap here; in another thread Per Hansson has mentioned successfully programming the serial eeprom for an Acer 2423W using a Willem programmer. The data was found on a Russian site.

    For a number of reasons, both health and personal, I will no longer be active on this board. Any PMs asking for assistance will be ignored.

    Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the Titanic.

      Like PlainBill said there are many ways. A few that comes to mind is desoldering the chip and connect it to programmer somehow. Lifting/disconecting the appropriate legs of the board and try piggyback the programmer. Some monitors have some sort of JTAG or similar type connectors so you can program them without much trouble.

      Be very sure you have the right firmware though, or at least a good backup of whats on the chip now.

      Why do you want to flash it btw, are you sure the error is there?
