It's certainly worth a try. If you google with keywords:

hotflash bios

....you will get lots of hits. Also, try separating hotflash into two
words and enclosing them in quotation marks. I once purchased
a new programmed bios chip for a motherboard, but it turned to
be that the CPU was bad.

Hope your chip is not soldered on the board, if it's the case it's going
to be a lot of work :P
