    Updated to the latest bios to correct a problem, now the laptop refuses to boot.

    Is it possible to fix this, or am I going to have to send it away?

    can you enter the bios ? if yes its probably the OS option that's wrong.
    What's your installed os?

    You may want to try removing the battery and all power sources and try to start it again.

    What's the bios number, and what kbc/ec did you have when you updated?

    The old bios was 1.00.09
    KBC/EC was 1.00.09

    Got the updates from Clevo's website, and no I didn't touch the GPU I'm 99% sure its the bios.
