Unfortunatley, it seems that your friend has killed your mainboard BIOS.
If clearing the mainboard CMOS does not bring it back to life, it will be necessary for you (or him perhaps) to purchase a new BIOS eeprom.
I quote from my website :-
Quote:
A replacement eeprom BIOS chip (pre-programmed) can be purchased by sending a cheque for £9.95 made payable to "Actron Electronics Limited" to :-
EPoX UK
c/o Actron Electronics Limited
2 Cochran Close
Crownhill
Milton Keynes
MK8 0AJ
This service is available for all mainboards under 2 years old.
Please remember to include your mainboard model number and postal address when applying. THIS IS FOR UK RESIDENTS ONLY. BIOS eeproms are usually sent out with 72hours of cheque receipt. Please note that this does not include eeprom removal tool, although these are available from all good electronics outlets throughout the UK. BIOS eeproms will not always be flashed with the latest BIOS, they will be flashed with a BIOS of our choice that is deemed to offer maximum overall successful recovery. It is not possible to order these components by telephone.
