I can solder, just not those types of chips.
ok
I'll bet there is. What thread would be appropriate to un-brick this board and put the latest bios update on it?

I don't currently have the soldering skill either but I've been meaning to build it. I've been playing around with the coreboot/ libreboot replacement firmware on some of my Core2 systems and I'm about at the point where I'd like to try some customizations. Being just a tinker, I see bricked boards in my future and I need to be able to recover from that.
If that particular board has sentimental value, I wouldn't be surprised if someone here could replace the BIOS if you made it worth their while. There are some very skilled people here.
Well, I guess I'll go check out that spare Thor now. I'll let you know how it looks.
