Hi, a bios update went wrong on my HP EliteBook 840 G3. Any attempt for bios recovery based on a combination of keys didn't work. I would like to try with a USB pen drive, but I can't source on HP site the bios .exe to download for my model. I guess it became so obsolete no one still bothers. Can you help me source an .exe to help me with that? Thank you

do you have access to the bios or is the computer dead except for blink codes after pressing the start button?

Thanks for replying, no access to the bios whatsoever, that's why I was thinking to reinstall BIOS with a USB pen drive

As for restoring the bios using a USB stick, I am confused to the max by HP. In other words, which models can do this? Will the stick be bootable. If so, how will this work. Or do you have to go into the bios? etc. etc.
