Hi. Will the laptop boot with the HDD removed? If it will, then chances are, the HDD is failing electronically. If it will not boot w/o the HDD, then yes the BIOS may have been corrupted. Try the reset here first, and if you still get no boot, then you may need to try and manually update the BIOS. In the extreme, you may have to replace the BIOS chip or the system board at large.
