BIOS on Inspiron 5515 not loading after BIOS upgrade

Not being able to load the BIOS after an update can be concerning, but there are a few steps you can try to recover your Dell Inspiron 5515:

1. Check for Power Issues:

• Ensure your laptop is plugged into a working outlet and the power adapter is securely connected.
• Try removing the power cable and battery for 30 seconds, then put them back in and attempt to boot again. This can help clear residual power.

2. Attempt BIOS Recovery:

Dell offers a BIOS recovery tool for Inspiron models released after December 2015. Here's what you can try:

• Check if your Inspiron 5515 falls within this timeframe. You can find the manufacturing date on a sticker on your laptop.
• If applicable, follow the official Dell guide on BIOS recovery for laptops: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000132453/how-to-recover-the-bios-on-a-dell-computer-or-tablet
• The process typically involves holding specific keys during boot (like Control + Escape) or creating a recovery USB drive with a specific BIOS file.

3. Clear CMOS/ NVRAM:

• This resets BIOS settings to factory defaults. It might help if the update caused a setting incompatibility.
• Caution: This will erase any custom BIOS settings you had configured.
• The method to clear CMOS/NVRAM might vary depending on your specific Inspiron 5515 model. You can find instructions in the user manual or by searching online for your specific model and "clear CMOS." Generally, it involves removing the main battery, CMOS battery, and holding the power button for a minute.

4. Contact Dell Support:

If the above steps don't work, it's best to reach out to Dell Support for further assistance. They might have additional recovery options or suggest sending your laptop in for repair.

OP already attempted BIOS recovery.  Resetting BIOS should go before BIOS recovery.  Resetting BIOS should include replacing CMOS battery.  Looks almost like an AI response.
