1. Find someone with the same motherboard who is willing to risk the
following procedure.

2. Prise their BIOS out of the socket so it is ready to remove easily
but still makes electrical contact.

3. Boot their machine and get it ready to flash a new BIOS

4. Remove their BIOS chip and insert yours without switching the
machine off.

5 Flash yours.

I haven't actually done this but someone who works on the campus at
U.Q. has and I'm sure he would be willing to advise you if you can
manage step 1.
