I have same problem with Presarion SR1710NX. While updating some Rogers sotware PC crashed and after reboot came back with beeping. Upon second reboot I've got same message displayed award rom bios 1.0 and checksum error. In my case it recognizes CD. I'we got it to boot following instractions on http://www.biosflash.com/e/bios-boot-cd.htm
However bios update found on compaq support site expects update to be done from windows, so no luck there. Have you found solution ?
Based on the lable on bis chip I have version compaq bios version 3.10 and updated version should be 3.14. Based on screen my bios seems to be gone... ???
Anyone with better luck with compaq bios?
