    I get the same dead ends

    Probably because of age.

    Do you know what the make & model of the laptop are?

    Perhaps something here:

    This appears to be a bios for that board. However, I don't know the version/date. It does state .110 at the end of the link, and you've posted existing as version 1.0.

    I downloaded, scanned, and opened it in a hex editor and it's definitely a bios, with that board, CPU socket, etc listed within.

    Hope this helps.
