Studio 1450 BIOS crashed
I have a 4yr old studio 1450 laptop.
Was working excellent till today.
I tried formatting it as lots of unwanted files had been collected.
I was trying to update the BIOS from A05 to A06.
It started well.
Bios flashed....
Bios updated etc etc.
Then suddenly the computer hangs and the power button light keeps on blinking.
So i forced shutdown it by long pressing power button.
The issue now that the system is not evn booting up.
I think the BIOS has crashed or something.
Please help me how to recover it.

If the BIOS flash completed successfully, and unplug the system, remove the battery and hold the power button for 30 sec. That should get it going again.
If the BIOS flash did not complete, and you had to power off and on, you have two options: either find a shop that can unsolder the BIOS chip, flash it externally and resolder it, or replace the mainboard.
