Now you can just buy a CH341 dongle and clip it onto the BIOS flash chip if you need to unbrick the motherboard. It's easy as long as the motherboard uses an SOIC or DIP flash chip.

Yes, but first often you'll need to dump the flash ROM, since some BIOS requires signing (at least on some OEM boards and laptops).
