    Hello all,
    My laptop won't turn on after a silly attempt of mine to downgrade its Bios 1.21 VT enabled with 1.20 VT disabled / default.
    (I did this because I wanted the replacement battery I bought to charge cause it was saying "plugged in, charging" but it didn't. The battery charges fine to a similar laptop).
    So instead of loading defaults in Bios I tried stupidly to flash / downgrade Bios normally from windows.
    The result is the laptop to crash popping up an error and since it was stuck I turned it off and that was the end of it, I can't open it, it doesn't have Bios, I erased it.
    I tried since yesterday everything I can to reset Bios such as fn + esc or Windows key + b with different files of bios and usb sticks but nothing happens, AC is working , blue light on but NOTHING!
    I might do the procedure wrong, I might use wrong name when I rename Bios, whatever it is its driving me crazy and I ask for ur help!

    Thanks 4 ur time._
