The best case scenario is that a protection circuit has engaged, and
will eventually return the laptop back to normal. Worst case scenario
is that he fried his BIOS, and he needs a new motherboard.
The first thing I would do is pull the plug, and battery, and let it
sit, and drain power for 24 to 48 hours before attempting another
power up. I assume it was flashed with the correct flash for this
laptop. I would also check the Sony support website for their
procedure in dealing with a failed flash attempt. This should be
found with the <how to flash> documents.I would also contact Sony
Tech support to find out what they think should be done. They may
have some unpublished way to deal with this.
