The other option is to have a shop remove the BIOS chip (requires unsoldering), flash it externally and re-solder it.

If the system is under warranty, have Dell replace the mainboard. If it's not, the BIOS chip external flash will be the least expensive way to solve the problem.
You can't wish problems away - if you want to solve the problem and the system won't boot, it needs a hardware repair.

ejn53 is giving the correct information here, If the system hung while trying to flash the BIOS you will likely need to have the system board replaced. If you do have an active warranty with the notebook then I suggest taking advantage of it. If you would like for me to research service options I will be happy to do so. Please shoot me a private message, just click on the link in my signature and include your name and the service tag of the notebook.
