At the very least, make sure your BIOS chip is socketed, rather than
soldered-in.

BIOS Man fixed me right up.  It wasn't at all hard to get my old chip
out.  I had to peel off the label and wipe it clean to read the part
numbers.  A new chip is $27.  I also ordered a wrist grounding strap,
for a total of $34.49.

Their website would be a little scary for technical neophytes, but
really their instructions were clear.
