Dell Flash bios failed - screen blank

Did the bios update flash right from Dell and now all my E series Dell XPS on beeps three times and the screen is black at all times. Is there any way to recover this computer. I found the old bios Version 2 on Dell's website. I do have a floppy on the computer but the screen shows nothing so I cannot do anything tweak-wise.

I have removed the battery and two jumpers and let it sit about 10 minutes but it's still the same scenerio.

Anything I can do for this pc?

Pentium 3 Ghz, 3Gb of Memory, 160GB hard drive

    If removing the battery for 30+- minutes does not correct a failed BIOS flash, then the typical fix is to replace the motherboard.
