OK.
You will need a tech guy at a laptop shop with a good hot air rework station to remove and replace the BIOS chip
It might be less expensive to find a replacement system board. or just replace the laptop.
There are designations of the motherboard number on the board.

I know what you mean. Sometime the old ones just finally crap out.
You're welcome.
Have a better day! 😊

That should be possible.
You would be better off having a blank BIOS chip to pre-program and have soldered in as a replacement to the original chip.
You can find more information on the BIOS forums I provide a search and links to in my previous post.

BIOS chips can still be found.
Ask the technician at the shop to identify the chip on the board.
Use the manufacturer name and part number of the chip to search for it online.
You can try erasing and writing the new BIOS ROM file to the old chip.
The ch341a is a handy tool.
I have one.
