HELP!!! BLACK SCREEN AFTER BIOS UPDATE

dell E6540 that went dead after bios update!!!!! HOW CAN THIS BE?????

 

anyone, please help!

 

 

I remember, I had A24 and the urgent update.... was A27, I think. 

I tried power up with power cable only, battery only, with external monitor,

to press F2 , F10, F11, Del key, after the power key.... nothing. BLACK all the time

The fan starts for a second or two and then everything is silent.

Follow the instructions below, to downgrade to your earlier BIOS:

  1. Browse to the Drivers & downloads page.

  2. If you are asked to "Identify your product", then either enter your Service tag, or select "Browse for a product" to select manually.

  3. If the system shown is incorrect, click on "View a different product" and again either enter your Service tag or Browse manually.

  4. If the correct system is already selected, then in the pull-down menus, choose the BIOS Category.

  5. If a different version of the BIOS is required from the one shown, click Other versions available, a box will open below.

  6. Select the required BIOS version then click Download File.

  7. Save the file to the Desktop for or a preferred location.

  8. When ready, right-click the downloaded file and select "Run as administrator", follow the on screen instructions.

Although, I cannot tell you what exactly happened to your system, I have relayed the instructions to settle on the earlier version of your BIOS. A similar thing happened with our system at Apps4Rent and we rolled back to earlier BIOS to solve the problem.

Regards.
