    Hi,
    You have to give more details for someone to look in to your problem, how did you flash, from which version to which version(assuming to 2.05).
    Is your laptop starting? is the display just blank?
    However read through these links to help you understand what you need to do if you have bricked your laptop. It could be recovered but it may be a long process and you need to be lucky.

    If it's starting up, my guess is that the HDD mode is wrong.

    Either it's AHCI and needs to be IDE, or it's IDE and needs to be AHCI.
