    Dear All

    Could you help me with this issue?

    My alienware laptop is turned off when bios is updating
    And when I have start laptop, it is turn on only lights, black screen, no beeps and thats all,

    I have try to do bootblock recovery, from the another post, but it is not help, i think that maybe file names in alienware 13 is another than in alienware 17 from another post (AMIBOOT.ROM and AAP10.hdr).
    I hope that there is a way out, and i have doing something wrong)

    And also when i have press END and connect PSU (without battery), laptop didnot start, before i press power button.

    Maybe someone have info how to do bootblock recovery in alienware 13 r2 (i7 u6500)

    Many thanks in advance

    P.S. sorry for my English
