2 options.
1, disassemble the laptop, take out the motherboard. Locate the BIOS chip, un-solder the chip(you will need a hot air gun), and buy a proper programmer and a proper adapter.

2, try someone like biosxp.net

A BIOS is stored to a device it is called FLASHROM on motherboard.
So, you can fix the BIOS by rewriting the FLASHROM.
And you need a device that can rewrite a flashrom externally.
The device is called 'flashrom programmer'.
So, If you have enough tools and flashrom programmer that is compatible with your flashrom, you can fix your BIOS.
First, you have to find the flashrom exactly, because there are many kind of FLASHROM.
And then you have to consider that you can fix it or not.
Before you decide that, you have to learn about the detailed fixing method.
I recommend to see a next manual.

And there is very cheap flashrom programmer.
