ok weird one my laptop wont boot after a firmware update.

Reboot and Select proper Boot device
or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key
No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key
the update was going fine until teh power flickered. I waited a long time before touching anything, then finally turned it off... now it powers on but shows nothing, ive read about BIOS recovery features but idk whether my machine has them, help me figure out my options before I start pricing new motherboards.
