Yes. However, it requires that you have the system running. You can find the necessary tools here.

This is the only way you can do it.

Yes you can do it by using BIO-Flasher.

Update BIOS effortlessly from a USB flash disk before entering the OS.
BIO-Flasher is a convenient BIOS update tool. Just launch this tool and put the BIOS on USB pen driver before entering the OS. You can update your BIOS with only a few clicks without preparing an additional floppy disk or other complicated flash utility.

But your bios is corrupted so I don't think this will work. You could probably buy a bios chip and replace it by unsoldering the old bios chip with your new one. The "ite" chip is your bios chip.

Bois chip has its own little socket, just pull it out and replace it with this one.

That's pretty cool, I always thought they were soldered to the board.
