Not worth the cost of labor. You can get a used Optiplex easily.
Non tower models are less than the cost of windows.

So is it a big task? Or a regular user can name those brand and other names?
This is a link for bios chip. Do you think it's fair to purchase here?

Exactly which model PC do you have?
Is it still under warranty?
Have you read and tried BIOS Recovery Options?
Have you read Dell's Policy on BIOS update failures?
And there's always Dell Out-of-Warranty Repairs

This is also why my text is large. Its not because I enjoy yelling at people.
I'm old and blind. If I didn't have bad experience I would have no experience whatsoever.
The SMD soldering station and tools will cost more than 20 motherboards.

Motherboards are multi-layer boards. In many cases just using standard soldering iron will damage board getting the chip removed and if not, soldering a new one in a multi-layer board can be an issue without specialized soldering station. I guess its worth a chance doing it, if the board is damaged by unsoldering or resoldering you haven't lost anything as the motherboard will have to be replaced anyway.
