Can you please give us more details on the failure? Did you get an error message? Does the notebook turn on now (and if so, do you get an error message?). There's no remedy for a failed BIOS update if the machine doesn't turn on -- It would need to be sent in for service.
You can also try a hard reset if the computer turns on but there's no display:
To Perform A Hard Reset
- Shut down the computer by going to the Start menu and selecting shut down. (If you have no display, hold the power button down for 5 seconds)
- Disconnect the AC Adapter from the notebook.
- Remove the battery from the bottom of the notebook. There will be a switch/button to eject the battery.
- Wait at least 1 minute with all power sources disconnected.
- Re-insert the battery and reconnect the AC Adapter and then attempt to power on the notebook.
