I do have two identical machines. &nbsp;Is there any way to get the bios from the good machine and flash the bios on the bad machine even though I can't get it to boot ?<br />

I have a T41 and I may have toasted the BIOS and now I can't get it to boot. &nbsp;When I try it comes up with the IBM thinkpad banner but that's it, it gets hung from there. &nbsp;Does anyone know how to get past that ?
