upon reformatting with XP, I decided to flash the bios. When it went to reboot, it shut off all they way and will not power on. Do I need to reset the CMOS? And if so, is this the same as on a tower?
 
Did you experience any issues when flashing the BIOS?

Yes it is the same as on a desktop, but obviously a little more fiddly!!

Sometimes the battery isn't on the motherboard it can be attached by a connector, just unplug it for min of 30secs with battery and power plug out. If this doesn't work then I would think that the BIOS flash went wrong and you may need to replace the BIOS chip.

They are fairly in expensive but can be difficult to remove & reattach. Its worth seeing how much a local PC repair company would charge to do it.
