does the computer do anything? If when you power it on, it keeps saying no floppy/cd found you could possibly save the mobo. Asus has what they call a "CrashFree Bios" meaning there is a portion of ther bios chip that is write protected. There is a possibility to reload the bios. First find out who makes the bios, ie. AMI, Award... then go Here follow the instructions and you could save it. no guarantees, but I have seen it in the past.

also if your friend still has the original support cd, that has a bios recovery tool on it, hence why the board is saying no cd found. that is probably the easiest way to do it and the Asus recommended way.

I believe you have to make a bootable floppy. Asus has a program called AFudos. You then have to copy an Afudos on the floppy along with the bios file and run Afudos within dos.
