Is ram still usable even though the computer had a fatal power surge when interrupting a bios update?

This varies, however you most likely bricked your BIOS.

 

Most newer motherboard have an ability to reflash your BIOS however, and I will be glad to help you through this process.

 

Could you please provide your motherboard model so I can take a loook?

 

(If you are speaking about the RAM itself, yes it will probably work still)

Im going to say this again, only to be sure you know what I am saying/asking. Is the ram inside my laptop still usable even though the computer had a fatal power surge from interrupting a bios update? To make it clearer, when I had interrupted the update by forcing a shut down, I was told by an expert I burned up the mobo. So basically, I am only interested in the RAM if it still works.

Sorry for the Necro, just saw this today.

 

And yes, it should probably still work as I said before.
