If something is wrong with a computer's BIOS (Basic Input/Output System), then odds are pretty good that the computer won't even boot. Typically, if it's not too terribly damaged, you'll at least get a "beep code" - that is, your computer will make a pattern of annoying beeps, which if you look up that model's beep codes, will translate into an error message. If you can find a way to do so with a corrupted BIOS, you can flash (that is, update or replace) the BIOS in hopes of recovery. Worst case scenario you will have to replace a part.
