Can't see how this would work ... All you would end up doing is grounding 
everything, nothing on the EEPROM would change.  If the existing BIOS can't 
boot, then it can't start at all.
Can you get to the BIOS setup screen?

FWIW, I have had two BH6's die on me, they seem to be real sensitive to 
power problems

Cheers,
