killed my Sony PCG-FX602 laptop after bios flash, help pls

Hi,

I unfortunately think Ive killed my Sony PCG-FX602 laptop after what I think is a bad bios flash with some new bios which I found here http://www.vaio-link.com I followed the information found here: http://www.vaio-link.com/UK/info/Bios_R0121K5.shtm. not sure why it went wrong I did everything stated. When powered up the laptop beeps a few times and nothing is shown on the screen. Any idea what I need to do? Do I need a new bios chip? Hope someone can help Im in my last yr at uni and need the laptop up and running asap.

Thanks in advance

Chaps, if the computer was working before the bios flash...and trhe new bios was downloaded from Vaio Link.....does Sony have some responsibility ????

I don't think so, as they always have a doc saying "we cannot be held responsable" and all that stuff.

I think you could claim it was their responsibility if the flash was done as a result of their 'over the phone' Vaio Link service.

They frequently suggest downloading and installing the latest BIOS - in fact the first time my GRX went wrong I was told to do a BIOS update even though there was none available at the time :thinking:
