BIOS wiped! Where do I get a new chip? (in UK ... K8N Neo Plat v1.7)

Aaaaaaargh!  I've just wiped my BIOS and now my PC won't post (just a blank screen). Where in the UK can I get a new BIOS chip (or get mine reprogrammed)?
What I need is: v1.7 for K8N Neo Platinum
How did this happen?... I  upgraded to v1.9 yesterday (using MSI Live Update), started to have problems/crashes today (like sooo manay folks!!!), so tried to reflash back to v1.7 (using floppy - combination of Win98 boot and v1.7 flash files). The reflash app seemed to work OK... until I restarted the PC 
   Cheers,
   Colin.
P.S.
As much as I love this mobo I'm starting to lose patience with it. Had it for approx 6 months and when it's stable it's great. However 3 months has been spent fighting niggles, instabilities, and crashes 

Folks,
 Many thanks for the replies. I'll save those URLs/contacts for future reference.
Turns out I managed to breath life back into my mobo! Seems like the BIOS CMOS got really screwed over... the first CMOS clear I tried after the BIOS flash didn't work, but today I was being stubborn and tried another CMOS clear (this time with mainspower cord removed, and the "clear CMOS" jumper left in place for 30 mins while I had diner!).
Things seem stable now. 
   Cheers,
   Colin.
P.S.
With hindsight I think the problems I was originally seeing were probably not due to BIOS v1.9 .  My guess now is that they were caused by my sound card doing "weird stuff" while playing TOCA2 (Terratec DMX6fire ... an uninstall then reinstall with the same driver seems to have cured that). Still, based on what I read in this forum I'm in no rush to upgrade to BIOS v1.9 !!!

    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.

    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task. Start with Google to search for these.

  • Where can I get a new keyboard for my Tecra A3 in the UK?

    I spilt some water - damn! - a couple of days ago on my Tecra A3 and I think it is beyond fixing, though please correct me if I am wrong.
    I haven't been cleaning it regularly and I think there was probably quite a bit of dust - and other foreign matter - under the keys and I think some dust has got, via the water, into the electronics connecting the keys to the white connecting tissue - I don't know what you call this - which links the keyboard to the rest of the machine.
    Most of the keys aren't working, and some of them, whey they work, add in for free, for one tap, extra letters.
    I removed the keyboard, and left it and the machine to dry and, when that didn't do the trick, dried the keyboard and surrounding parts thorougly - working delicately - and cleaned it using a tiny bit of alcohol and ear cotton wool cleaners. I also used a little air pressure producing machine to try to get rid of any dust. I think I did a fair job but It is still not working.
    I think I will have to buy a new keyboard. Do you know where can I get a new keyboard A3 in the UK or a second hand keyboard that would be in perfectly good working order?
    Thanking you in advance,
    Conor Joyce

    Hi
    On the Toshiba website you can search for the nearest authorized service provider. They sell all original Toshiba spare parts. Call them and ask for a new keyboard, they can order a new one for you.
    Here you can search for the nearest ASP:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Support & Downloads => Find an authorized service provider
    Second hands you get from eBay for example but normally keyboards are not so expensive so I would buy a new one.

    Try eBay. You do occasionally see that old model advertised there.

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
    Apple - iPod Repair price
    A third-party place like maybe less. Google for one near you.
    Replace the screen yourself

    It has sources for the parts. You can just Google for screens too.
