F'd Up? Bad CMOS clear?

I hope I didn't screw up my mobo.

I attempted to flash my bios on my Soltek EQ3704 (mainboard SL-B7C-FGR). The flash failed and after numerous recovery attempts I determined I needed to get a reprogrammed bios chip. Hopefully it will arrive tomorrow.

However that's not the source of my current neurosis.

During the process of trying to recover I reset my CMOS using the jumper. During one of my resets I accidentally left the jumper in the clear position before attempting to power on. The computer didn't power on, but I'm assuming it put power across my motherboard.

What's the likelihood I screwed it up? Am I going to need a new mobo now, or should I be ok and I'm just having a panic attack?

Thanks for the help.

You should be ok.

Why did your flash fail? What's up with that?

I'm not sure. I suppose it could have been because I don't have a floppy drive so I made a bootable CD. It's wierd because it seems to have made it all the way through until it attempted to verify it. It said something like "BIOS varification failed" and that was that.

I of course didn't make a backup of my BIOS before I attempted it, which is my fault and now I have to just suck it up. Not much I can do about it now except wait for my new BIOS chip.

Got my BIOS chip today from Badflash.com. Popped it in, cleared my CMOS, and started up. All I had to do was re-settup my BIOS and then everything was back to normal - plus it had the BIOS version I was trying to flash to.

Thanks for all the help and if you ever need to reprogram or get a new programmed BIOS chip I definitly recomment Badflash.com
