Sounds serious. Maybe consider a cheap laptop, e.g. hp stream 11 $299

If you already have a monitor, mouse, keyboard, can consider asus chromebox cn60 $189

We can try flashing the BIOS, but it might or might not work since the board is not original Dell. We can't confirm now.
We pluck out the BIOS IC and flashing on it directly. Will backup the existing BIOS before flashing.

Cost around $120-$150 before GST (The higher tier is because your board is not original and we are unsure of its status, so it might need more than flashing to work). If can't work, no charges.

PM us if you like to come down. We do not offer this as a standard service, so need to let us know first so that we can arrange for you.

Cheers!
