BIOS update- can no longer turn on desktop
I have a Dell Inspiron 20 3052 series. Downloaded the BIOS update today and now can no longer turn the computer on. I press power and it makes a little "wrrrrr" sound, then nothing
Ive had this computer less then 6 months, and the warranty is already expired it appears. Any help would be appreciated
thanks

Dear Customers,
Dell is aware that a recent BIOS release (version 3.8.1) for the Inspiron 20 3052 All-in-One has caused some systems to fail to boot. Dell has stopped the push of the affected BIOS version and urges impacted customers to contact Dell Tech Support or on Twitter @DellCares.
Thank you,
Dell Support Team

The solution for a failed, or corrupt BIOS flash, is usually to replace the motherboard.

The BIOS update messed up a lot of computers last weekend, Inspiron 3052's and 3252's seem to be the most affected.
All you can do at this point is contact Dell tech support and add your name to the list.
