Regardless I'll share what I think about it anyways, it seems strange that a laptop would not work at all anymore after a failed bios update, but I guess it's possible. though it doesn't necessarily mean you can now throw it away or should swing with a hammer at it >_>, in fact I think resetting the cmos/bios will fix your problem. You can do this by opening up your laptop and find the clear cmos jumper and placing it on the other side for a few seconds and then placing it back or, by removing the bios battery and shorting the positive and negative for a few seconds. Here is a video which explains it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdHH9KrceR0 But, I do not reccomend doing this yourself, especially cause it's a laptop, you're better off going to a computer store like I said before. If you do however plan on doing this yourself then don't blame me if you mess up your laptop even more Hope this helped.. EDIT: @DVDK - it is not 'damaged', the bios firmware was updated and got corrupt in some way, this can be fixed by resetting it and hopefully after a reset the laptop will be able to start again.

Please do some research before posting stuff like this, i'm in the IT for a couple of years now i know where i'm talking about.
You cannot ''restore'' a corrupt BIOS just by resetting it, UNLESS you have a 2nd backup BIOS, which almost all laptops don't have.
Oh and laptops don't have ''jumpers'' on their motherboards.

The only way to fix this problem would be either insert a new BIOS chip, or buy a new motherboard.
And since this is a laptop, it's very unlikely that you can just pop out the BIOS chip and buy a new one.
