    Newbie here with an inherited problem. My wife updated the BIOS on her laptop, and now it is a boat anchor.From the research I have done so far it's not looking good for this not quite four year old. There was a series of beeps that did not get counted as the flash was completing. It never even gets close to making it into POST before it turns off now.
    I will try to intelligently answer any questions that come up to in an attempt to see if this LT is salvageable.
    Thanks for your time.
