    See title.

    I used the built in utility to flash the BIOS, and now my laptop won't turn on. When it is plugged in or when the battery is in, the "on" light and power light on the front turn on, but I cannot for the life of me get the laptop to start up.

    Should I return this to the godforsaken Best Buy it came from, or is there a way to resurrect this laptop from its coma?
