Tell us your motherboard model etc, so that we can learn more about the possible recovery options just in case. Maybe you can get a dirt cheap (2 dollar) flashrom-supported programmer like CH341A (green PCB), remove a chip using a PLCC clip, insert to a programmer, backup the contents and then do the experiments you'd like to try - and, if anything goes wrong, you just restore a knowing good image using another computer.
