I have just frazzled a 3 year old toshiba laptop in a bad BIOS flash.

Oh oh !

How can I open my laptop up to get hold of the motherboard,

Usually a thousand tiny screws AFAIK.

to replace the BIOS chip... or is it a fools errand that will end with a
soldered
chip, and an expensive bill?

If it's a flash chip ( which it must be ) it's likely soldered on the pcb. The
days when you could drop in a new Eprom have gone it seems.
