If the battery is installed properly, the visible surface will have one
outer ring, and one inner circle. The area between the ring and the circle
will have a ridge boundary visible and detectible with a fingernail.
You needed a boot floppy, not a startup diskette. You can make this with
windows explorer. Nothing to download or manually copy for this. Then copy
the bin file to the floppy.
Some motherboards have a jumper that is set that prevents flashing.
Allowing flashing simply moving the jumper to the opposed position.
Example: Pin 1 and 2 covered, move jumper to cover Pin 2 and 3. See your
motherboard manual for details of location if such exists. on your
motherboard. This includes any new bios chip installed.
Don't flash the bios unless it needs it.
If you reply, leave the contents of your current message below in that
