Dell Studio 1537 not booting after firmware update

Hello! I have a Dell Studio 1537 laptop which I purchased for my stepson a few years ago. He's been having problems with the CD/DVD constantly trying 

to eject phantom disks. I read that this is due to firmware issues that required an update. I downloaded the last update for this, and attempted to do this 

via windows. When I ran the application, the system seized, and the fan turned on high speed. I then waited a few minutes for something to happen, but 

after nothing did, I was forced to shut the laptop down, and remove the power and battery.

Now the laptop will not boot. What can I do to resolve this?
