Need bios BIN not EXE

After a bad bios flash of my Inspiron 1000 turned my laptop into a $900 paperweight, I contacted someone who would desolder the bios chip and reflash it.  Unfortunately, the reflasher equipment requires a BIN file of the bios and not the EXE that Dell supplies.  So help me, where can I get said BIN file?

    Unlikely to ever get that. You could try http://www.wimsbios.com but that's just a long shot.

    There's a possibility using the utilities on that site, that someone with the same model laptop could dump the bios to a BIN file.
