This may not be the best first post, but I need a bit of help. I did the update they said to do to the bios with their program. I closed out of EVERYTHING and ran the program. I left the room when I was shure it was going right. When I came back it was completly off. I turn it on and it beeps and stays on, the harddrive gives off a constant clicking, not loud. There is no screen activity.
As I was typing this I turned it on to say exactly what was happening. IT turned on, it says the bios are the new f.3d ones it was uppose to update to. Should I still send it back in the box that is comming to me? All I did was leave the battery out for a few days and unplug-plugin the hard drive.

You might have effectively done a CMOS reset somewhere along the way, after you removed the battery, and that resurrected your notebook. Or just doing a cold boot by removing the battery and unplugging from the wall, letting any remaining power discharge (holding down the power button for a few seconds will do this quickly), then plugging everything back in did the trick... that's more likely. I'd keep the boxes on hand just in case but I think you fixed it.
