    So I tried updating my firmware today and it turns out I accidentally did the winflash for the 5820T. Didn't even get an error message saying I couldn't flash it, it just proceeded and died in the middle.

    Now the laptop won't even power. I tried every Fn+Esc, Win+B, Unplug battery + hold power for 30 sec type trick and it won't even flicker with a hint of power.

    Nothing happens at all. Anyone have any insight if there is any way I can try to get the machine to power on so I can try the Fn+Esc trick?

    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Update: I gave AQS Computer Services a call and they said that my situation is very fixable by them. I'll provide another update once I get it back. It's worth $99+shipping at this point to get my machine fixed.
