Dell XPS 400 6 Beeps with Black Screen….DEAD?

by bhbh5 . Updated 17 years, 7 months ago

Just as the title says Dell XPS 400 Intel Duel Core. I did a BIOS update from Dell’s Website and after restart….Nothing…Of course dell will not warranty a download because it was “Optional” So I’ve already ordered a new motherboard because I was told by there $60 help desk that I fried my Mother board due to the BIOS update being incompattable….even though I entered the Service tag off of the computer and it builds the update driver list for my specific computer….I do get 6 beeps after power up and that’s it…black screen no flashing curser or anything? So my question is did I fry my board or is there anything at all I can do?
Oh I’m running XP if that helps??
Thanks!
