I flashed a hp ze5731us with a ze5700 bios. The program barely even got started flashing when laptop shutdown. Now it will flash the power and hd and cd light but will not boot. Is there anyway I can reflash this myself or will I have to send it off? If I can do it can anyone explain how?

With it being a laptop, your best bet would be to have it sent off and professionally reflashed....

I think AJZ is hinting at HP since they are the manufacturer.

Further to this, take into consideration the age of the laptop and how much you think is worth spending on it, before making a decision to proceed.
