Flashed bios in Gateway 1150 laptop.
All seemed well untill reboot.
NO BIOS!
no boot no screen no nothing.
Used util from gateway site. Opened pc (keyboard)
no jumpers for re-install bios disk. (sighs)
Paperweight??

I extracted this excert from URL: http://support.gateway.com/support/drivers/search.asp?ref=std&st=browse&platform=10022&model=10052&os=&type=&mfg=&bios=
Solo 1150 BIOS, version 21.09
Supports: All Operating Systems
Note: When updating your computer's BIOS, the update process fails if you use a floppy disk formatted in Microsoft® Windows® 2000, Windows NT®, or Windows XP. Instead, use a new IBM pre-formatted disk. Refer to Readme.txt file for more details.
maybe this was your problem ?

Yea, I read that. I booted with a 98 bootdisk and it recognized the harddrive and the cd.(fat32)
The program ran fine, progress bars and all.
I have done this on many pc's and never had this result. Of course I never did a Phoenix before either. What a crappy bios that is. No selections for anything. I will keep searching for the motherboard layout. maybe Ill get lucky.

Sorry it took so long to get back.
Was upgrading from (#on chip is CA1B original bios )
to the latest on gateway site 7511.exe
There is no way to extract a rom or bin out of the exe or I would do that and try reprogramming the chip (I have access to a programmer)Im afraid a new MB is the only solution.
