Vostro 3550 screen won’t turn on after I installed bios update
My cmos battery was dead so I put a new one but when I put it my keyboard, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi was gone so I decided to do a bios update and now it won’t power on, it has power and everything the screen just won’t turn on
Edit: I think I know what I did wrong, I just opened the exe file instead of puttting it on a usb drive anyone know if there is anything I can do or is my pc bricked?

Unplug the system, remove the battery and hold the power button for 30 sec. See if it'll then power up. If it will, you're set.
If not, this system isn't worth repairing -- it has a total value of between $20 and $50 complete and working.

@ejn63 I’ve already tried everything
I’ve taken out the cmos battery the ram the actual I’ve taken out the motherboard making sure everything is plugged in in the internals so it’s the bios chip probably but it’s soldered do I can’t do anything about it
also I’m 14 so I don’t think my parents would even let me work with a solder thing so is the computer gone or what
