Hello artixalpha, welcome to NBR.

Sorry to hear about this unfortunate event but i believe all hope should not be lost just yet.
Have a look through this thread and let us know the results:

Yea, About that i tried to do it but cannot find BIOS.wph/ The 3 files supposed to be on the usb drive so i dont know why. I am using Windows 8 pro and i have used compatibility settings with it. Also i have a windows xp laptop and it also gave me the same result

*bump* Need quick answer/ File/zip with all the required files to go straight onto the usb

Also tried CMOS reset did not work. I just need to know which bios files go in the flash drive+crisdisk not working for me on xp laptop and windows 8 pro desktop

Here this is what i mean : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZnosTDLyWM (( My youtube video ))

in axmans method i got to the part in which FN+B and WinKey+B And ESC+FN but none of these work @Anyone?

No scroll lights or blinking lights i tried axmans method with no sucess hdd light does not stay on ( Pluggin in usb in esata) Bios.wph and sys files and phlash on there. I tried fn+esc winkey+b and fn+b all with no sucsesso

Anyway, Entered Crisis recovery And now it has flashing caps and sroll keys help plz

also 1 long beep and 2 short beeps, Which meanas Indicates a video error has occurred and the BIOS cannot initialize the video screen to display any additional information

 

Thanks for the additional info.

At this point i would stop attempting to flash the BIOS.
Can you double check that the monitor connector is properly connected?

What video card do you have?

 

Nvidia 460m is the baking process effective? Also I successfully flashed bios just caps and scrl lights flashing

 

I really don't trust that method. I've seen people who have made it and worked but.. no... just not for me haha.
do you have any friend who has an Alienware? You could get his/her video card to test it.

 

No can you send me one

Anyway 1 long beep and 2 short beeps plus flashing scroll and caps light

 

Yeah, this is your best bet, artixalpha. Either test your card in a different system or try to find a card that works with the M15x and test.
I believe the cheapest you can find is the nVidia GT 240M.

 

Ok put my friends 240m and it does not work. BUT! I was able to find out it was yet another bad bios flash. Appearently the power just got a little lower due to the snow Mobo is ok and stuff. Now! When i press fn+b and go into crisis ( Allegedly ) but the caps and scoll are still blinking. Will they still blink during flashing process?

 

Sorry for the late reply.
No, they shouldn't blink during the flashing process.

Is that 240M a Dell/Alienware card?
Double check the connections.
Leave one stick of RAM in the system.
Perform a full power drain.
Restart the recovery process and be patient.

Let us know how it goes. Fingers crossed.

 

Yes, it's another bad bios flash. So I press fn+b then plug in power with USB in esata and it still beeps and has flashing scroll lights and caps
