Bios question.

[bass528]

Hello guys, Iam new to the bio world and maybe you can help me out answering this, I couldnt find a better subforum to post in.

A friend was updating their bios and immediately after the machine would not power on at all. Its a Dell n5010.
My question is, could a botched Bios upgrade cause for a no Led and No power?

Most of Bios issues Iam seeing do have Led lights on, with some beep error. But rarely do I see a full Brick wit no Power what so ever caused by a bios issue.

If it is the bios, and the machine has no power, is it possible to flash the bios with it on the motherboard while it has no power? Anything thru USB or special flashing gear?

Many thanks to the great moderators on here.
