HELP... SCREWED UP BIOS!?!... DEAD GIGABYTE BOARD...

[gangstawrapper]

My friend recently tried flashing his Gigabyte 686-LX motherboard with a bios from the website. The flash utility locked up and (like a fool) he rebooted the pc. Currently, the system boots but has no video output and does not access the drives. The power button also does not work. Is there any way to fix this short of a bios chip? If not, is this something that is covered by the garuantee or should he just keep quiet about the bios upgrade? Any help much appreciated....
