The mainboard will need to be replaced if the system won't boot after a BIOS flash gone wrong.

Removing the CMOS battery won't do anything. To reset the CMOS, remove the battery and unplug, hold the power button for 30 seconds and then try powering up again. If ithe system won't powerup, the warranty should cover the board replacement.

I experienced the same problem. They (Dell) say that the bios update is necessary. When my laptop froze during shutdown, I removed battery, replaced and turned ON. But perhaps I was one of the lucky person that my laptop run smoothly till date. I dont know, why Dell says to update such bios?? why dell cant update the bios before shipping the laptop??
Why the software maker make such bios that makes mainboard damaged?? why dont they make a secure system of bios update?? who will pay if the bios update fails and main board goes to hell after the warranty finishes??

I had similar issue .they replaced my new motherboard(only 2months old) with a refurbished one .Now im facing 2 more issues overheating and the ATI 5470 card is running at lower bandwidth (PCI-E 1x instead of PCI-E 16x).Kishor never ever update their BIOS from windows instead call the customer care and ask him to update it remotely
