The latest bios is 0278, but the best I can do is to attach 0229, which is just one before 0278.
You can find the release notes here:
Also, you might consider trying another power supply as well.

Actually Al, he needs the CL BIOS. I believe that CL0034 is the latest. Unfortunately, I do not have any CL BIOS files. See whether you can get this with the Wayback machine.

Oops, my mistake (forgot about there being a 945GC chipset). My archive shows BIOS 229 as being the latest. I too have nothing for BIOS 278.

nothing...don't work.
I see on motherboard a green led on, cpu fan on, motherboard fan off... I changed power supply with a ATX internal power supply.....but nothing.
I think that bios device was damaged, probably with a short circuit (I remembered that my daughter introduced coins to the motherboard, when she was three years old) . How I can to verifiy that bios circuit is ok ? Is it possibile to change bios circuit?

Some thoughts:
- Did you try replacing the CR2032 battery? Process is: disconnect power, remove old battery, wait 15 minutes, install new battery, power on and test.
- Did you try moving the yellow/orange BIOS configuration jumper from pins 1-2 to pins 2-3 and then power on?
For a board this old, there is really nothing that we can do to recover a bad flash component; we do not have the files that we would need to attempt this. You may simply have a dead soldier on your hands (it is 12 years old, after all). Recycle responsibly.
