    You can try downloading the original bios and reflash it with that instead. If that still doesn't work, there might be a way to hard reset your bios to the original state...but that involves diassembling your laptop.

    If you failed flash BIOS, it won't boot. You can't do anything except contact Sony service center if you are still in warranty. It will take couple days.
