Hi Stefan, Thank you for your quick help about this. That really is too bad for me.
I can't really dismantle the laptop for now since the warranty is still effective and I need it. I'm also sure that dumping/flashing the BIOS using an external programmer requires desoldering skills (which I don't have). Maybe one day, who knows. Thanks again.
