If i accidentally update a wrong BIOS to my computer, i know that my computer won't boot up, but can i fix my computer's motherboard later if i have the backup of my old BIOS? or do i have to just throw the scrap and buy a new one?

If you have a back-up of the old bios (or) can get a copy of the old bios you can reinstall it & all should be fine.

depends .
Some people say sometimes.
You may be screwed.
Biggest problem ( and they warn you ) is not to disrupt power or unplug during the process.
Unless you are having problems or desperatly need a new feature it is best wise not to update the bios in a routine fashion.
If you are perfectly sure it is the rigtht bios you cannot go too far wrong.
Most will want you if it is the wrong bios.
Best to be conservative
If is really the corrrect bios you should be ok

the only circumstances you ought to replace a bios is while you're having issues led to by ability of the bios or you laptop does not help a gadget while an replace might restoration it. to replace a bios first you ought to get carry of the replace from the manufactures web site and replica it to floppy disk restart the laptop from floppy and set up the replace from dos now for the hazards in case you get the incorrect replace you will render your laptop ineffective in case you have a power failure it will render your laptop ineffective the two the above have no desire of being repaired the only way is to the two replace the bios chip (no longer possibly potential) or replace the mum board updating a bios isn't something to take gently

just take the battery out of the mo/bo for a few seconds and pluck it back in and it should go back to default settings. this is what we do in case of an overclock gone awry anyways.

there's a reset jumper on your motherboard. try to reset it, then it might work again.
