Hola amigo.......!
The question I would ask you is; do you need to update the BIOS? Unless there is problem with your current BIOS level I don't see why you'd want to challenge yourself, unless you want to of course.
If it's running fine and there isn't an issue and you don't feel comfortable doing it then it's safe to leave it alone.
On the other side of the coin, it isn't hard but you must have a fully charged battery to do so or the update program will just stop and ask you to exit until the battery is (nearly) fully charged.
Yes, an incomplete flash update could make your system a brick or at least challenge you further than you'd like to be.

Gracias!
I think my BIOS it´s working fine, it has the most older version, but It is working good without problems. Maybe it´s more safe to let it alone.
Thank for your information! No hay problema!

Will.
