Vostro 3300 wont boot
Hi I've got a vostro 3300 that powered itself off during a bios update and now it wont boot.
On power up the media lights flash right to left then back again I can hear the fan for maybe 10 seconds, it cuts all the power and then immediately cycle repeats. Nothing ever shows on the screen.
To try solve this I have tried reseating the mainboard battery.
I have tried making a fat32 drive with the 3300a12 file by deleting all partitions on a 500gb ext drive and creating a single 16gb fat32 partition. I used these instructions for creating the files -
Any help would be much appreciated thanks!

What would you suggest, new board, chip removed and reflashed?
Could it be the drive I'm using that it doesnt like?
