            You can do it no cost, but I doubt your ability to carry out the instructions. Is that an unfair comment?0

 Ok...let's see.
 The first step would be to find an empty USB flash drive and make it 'bootable'.
 Take the empty USB Flash Drive(size not that important, though small capacity is good), plug it in, then download and run Rufus and use these settings: 
 No reason to touch Cluster Size or Volume Label and you may prefer to use MS-DOS instead of FreeDOS.
 Click Start and let Rufus do it's thing.
 Once complete, click here to download and save the three files needed for the firmware update.
 Download and save and then drag/send/copy the contents of the folder(the three files within, not the folder itself) on to your newly bootable USB flash drive..
 Once done, choose to make the USB flash drive the drive from which the desktop boots. You do that by pressing the F12 key soon after you press the power button or as soon as the machine begins to restart.
 Once you have done that and boot on to the USB Flash drive, it will begin the BIOS update. Let it do it's thing.
 Once complete, reboot if necessary.
 Let me know when you have completed the task.0
