    I have an Acer Travelmate 6410 which we applied Acer's latest BIOS flash successfully, or so it seemed, however after it completed the unit would not power back on! It's dead, completely... as in, hit the power button and there's zero action, no LED's, no fans, no video, no beeping, no nothing.

    We tried removing battery, power, holding power for 60 seconds. And since no power, can't do a BIOS crisis recovery.

    Does anyone have any suggestions? I have a feeling that Acer will tell me to go pound sand, since this laptop is out of warranty and they have a disclaimer that their BIOS flash will break your computer.
