Mini 1030nr CMOS Checksum bad - Restarts and hangs

After checksum error, it restarts with HP logo again with F9 to select boot device or F10 to enter setup but neither key does anything. Tried CTL Home and rom file in USB floppy but it seems it never reads from the floppy. It does access the floppy during Post like normal but it doesn't seem to read it again to get the ROM file. Since it's not booting from USB flash drive, there is no way to run the Windows BIOS flash. Is there a way to set BIOS to default? How can I flash since there is no OS running? It just hangs with two function keys having no effect. Thanks for any suggestions.

I have an HP Mini 110 - 1040TU and has got the same checksum bad / F9/F10 key hang-up. Any run-around to get rid of these problems and make the mini work ? Thanks.
