BIOS Recovery Help with Desktop

[SequoiaRX]

Hey y'all, I need your help because I think I have bricked the BIOS on my TG02-0013W (HP Victus 15L, AMD RYZEN 5 5600G, RX6400, SN HYNIX BC711, 16 GB RAM), and I cannot initialize the BIOS Recovery keybind because the desktop seems to not respond with the keyboard when I press on a key. I can only turn on the PC and hear the fans whirr and see the V logo lighting, but no visual/audio output.

I tried: Windows + B/V to initiate the BIOS recovery, a CMOS reset (13 times as attempted properly), reseated the ram, removed the GPU to boot with the integrated graphics. Surprisingly when I remove the RAM, the motherboard knows and beeps that the ram isn't there, so it is alive. Even after all of that, nothing. I could only hear the fans whirr and see the lighting of the V logo.

I'm not sure if either the computer is done for and I need to buy a new one, or it's still savable and I can get it back up. But please help me the best you can, I really don't want this to be lost.

Hi:

See if this works:

Make a BIOS recovery USB flash drive and try to recover the BIOS with it.

Below is the link to the latest BIOS update for your PC's motherboard:

See this link for how to make the BIOS USB recovery drive:

Updating the BIOS on HP Consumer Desktops outside of Windows 11| HP Computers| HP Support

After you create the USB BIOS recovery drive, follow the instructions that show up after the USB recovery drive has been successfully created, which should be as follows:

1. Power off the device to be recovered.

2. Insert the USB flash drive into a USB port.

3. Power on the device.

4. The device may reboot up to 3 times with indicator lights on the keyboard flashing, or the screen appearing blank for short time.

Hopefully, that will fix the problem for you.

That would be the only suggestion I can offer.

Hi! Thanks for giving an answer back, just a question about this. Will the computer automatically detect the BIOS recovery USB and automatically select it or do i have to do that keybind? I will be going out to buy a USB now, thanks again.

You're very welcome.

Yes, the instructions indicate what I wrote.

Power off the PC.

Insert the BIOS USB recovery drive into a USB port, power on the PC, cross your fingers and hope it works.

No need to do anything else.

If that doesn't work, unfortunately, the motherboard would have to be replaced, or you can buy new.

Alright, thank you for providing a solution. I will let you know if this method worked or failed.

You're very welcome.

I made the recovery drive for your PC on my Dell PC and those were the simple instructions it reported after the drive was created.
