    install 7zip.

    open the program, go to file and right click on the exe and select open inside.

    then just go inside the director files and find the main bios file.

    you will see it because even the program needs the raw bios
    Just cook it! It's already broken.

              The files dll, exe, ini, sys, scr are what comprise the Windows program to update the BIOS, the ROM file is the actual BIOS file. The next thing is to find a DOS executable program to flash the ROM file to the BIOS using a DOS bootable disk.

              Hang on though, let me back up and ask why you think this is a BIOS problem? What steps have you taken to troubleshoot the issue? Tried connecting an external monitor for example?

                      Well there is another problem you face, even if you had the means to update the BIOS from DOS if there is no video display how are you going to initiate the update flying blind?

                        without a programmer this is useless

                          i have software called IDA pro and Hxd? i guess is worthless without the programmer..thanks a lot guys. Any tips on which programmer i should buy? brand name or should i be looking for something specific?

                            Sounds like it may be beyond the BIOS. Possibly a bad CPU chip or a bad chipset.
