EvoX will let you flash a new bios.

If you have a X2Pro Chip, X2BM will let you flash that.

the same method you used to flash int eh first place should work, if it doesnt its possibly your points are no longer jumpers, how did you jumper them? solder? conductive pen? conductive grease? window defogger repair? tin foil? pact with satan?

If your talking about flashing the 4980 bios you need to resize it using 'make1mb.bat'
use the following code.

@ECHO OFF
if "%1"=="" goto usage
if "%2"=="" goto usage
if NOT EXIST %1. goto notfound
if EXIST %2. goto duh
copy /b %1 + %1 + %1 + %1 %2
dir %2
echo Output file '%2' has been created!
goto exit
:duh
echo Output file '%2' Allready exists, delete it first.
goto exit
:notfound
echo Input file '%1' is not found!
:usage
echo Usage is: make1mb {input 256k bios} {output 1meg bios}
:exit
