Question

I tried to update bios in Inspiron N5110 but laptop freezed in the middle of update so I had to remove the battery to turn it off.

Now it won't turn on and just it makes three beeps and nothing else.

Could you please tell me how I can turn it on again?

Hi STAR2013,

As laptop is beeping 3 times and not turning on, this indicates that there is a processor/motherboard failure in the laptop.

Changing the motherboard/processor of your laptop could fix the problem.

In case the system has active warranty, please private message the system service tag, contact number and registered owner’s name.

In case of expired warranty scenario please contact Dell out of warranty team for purchasing the right motherboard.

If the system is under warranty have Dell replace the mainboard.

If it's out of warranty, that's expensive -- you may be able to have a shop unsolder the BIOS chip, flash it externally and resolder it (perhaps $100-150 vs. 2-3 times that for a board replacement).
