Hello, i have a NEC VERSA M540 notebook. I recently did a reboot, starting from scratch with Win XP. I downloaded all the drivers off of the NEC support site. Apparently the BIOS update i attempted was the wrong one... leaving me with a labotomised computer.

The screen remains BLACK, but it does attempt to spin/read a disk. i have a feeling that if i use the correct (BOOTABLE) BIOS update i may have a chance...
I have also been told if i remove the CMOS BATT for 10mins or so it may reset itself, but where is this friken BATTERY

So any help would be much appriciated, as NEC just wants to sell me a new computer, and isn't interested in helpin me fix mine for under $1,500!!!
Thanks in advance Kano
