Inspiron 7547, on Dell's site I saw there was a new bios A08, I had A05. Made the bootable dos usb and started the bios update, it wrote a bunch of stuff ok but then had an error msg 'P/W: Not enough memory'. Nothing changed after ~1hr so I had to power off.
Now it won't boot. The power LED comes on, I hear the fan, but screen is blank, no Dell logo. I have tried taking out battery, pressing power button for 1min, didn't help. I also tried the method here - https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/solved-recover-dell-inspiron-laptop-corrupted-bios-how-roland-ihasz. Still nothing.
This is a fairly new laptop but is out of warranty. I feel stupid for trying the bios update. Is there anything I can do? This was my main computer.
-
- Shutdown your faulty laptop if is is still running with the black screen.
- Remove the battery
- Remove the CMOS battery
- Disconnect the power supply.
- Insert the USB drive with the extracted BIOS files in the USB port.
- Press and keep hold the END key on the keyboard for your faulty laptop.
- Plug the DC power connectors (power plug) into the laptop.
- After a few seconds your faulty laptop will start itself and will re-flash its corrupted BIOS and automatically reboot.
- You can release the END key after the flashing process started. A USB drive with an activity LED can confirm that the BIOS flashing process started. The complete re-flashing process will take no longer than 60 maximum 90 seconds.

Those are the exact same steps from the link I gave! Like I said that doesn't do anything.
