SVJ202B16W Bricked Bios

I was doing a bios upgrade (never a good idea.) I think I've put the incorrect image on the system.
It's a Sony PC N50 - SVJ202 model SVJ202B16W touchscreen .
The system is flashing up very quickly now with - 'operating system not found. '
F2 doesn't respond - but then this is a touchscreen and the BIOS is faulty...as far as I can say the Windows OS was working.
The thing was bought in Australia i'm in the UK now, which is another problem
Everytime I typed the serial it brought me to a UK version (I think) - hence the incorrect BIOS.

I have this PC pulled apart. I'm looking for advise before I go taking out chips and things.
I've never had to repair a BIOS before, although I've been in IT long time and I'm an electronics student.
The things well out of warranty. Any advise you can give you can give, without telling me I'm an idiot. Yes... I already know.

Hi @JonnyDriller, welcome to the community.

I'm not sure why you are taking it apart, but it may be the simplest solution would be to contact a Sony repair agent and ask them to flash the BIOS for you: http://www.sony.co.uk/support/en/repair/asc
