Thinkpad T61 BIOS Flash fail, Need Help!

[mujura]

Hello,
Yesterday night I tried to flash my BIOS to get the SATAII patch. Half way through flashing, I get a blue screen saying driver not equal or something. I was using Windows XP PRO 32 bit.
Now when I turn it on, it is just a black screen and I can hear hard drive moving and my disk moving. No power to the USB ports at all.

How can I fix the BIOS? I just ordered a BIOS chip from ebay:

and I am going ot ask my friend to solder it in for me. Is there anything else I could try before I do this?
