Welcome to HP Forums, 

This is a great place to get support, find answers and tips, 

Thank you for posting your query, I'll be more than glad to help you out 🙂 

 

As I understand the Bios update failed and now the device isn't powering on anymore,

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, however, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details: 

Have you attempted to check with an alternate power source/wall outlet or power cord?

Did you attempt the bios recovery using the HP recommendations?

 

While you respond to that, here's what you need to do:

 

To recover an earlier version of the BIOS on your PC:

  1. Turn off the computer.

  2. With the computer off, press and hold the Windows logo key  and the B key at the same time.

  3. Still pressing those keys, press and hold down the Power button on the computer for 2 to 3 seconds, and then release the Power button but continue to hold the Windows and B keys until the BIOS update screen is displayed or until you hear a beeping sound (usually 8 beeps).

    The power LED light remains on, and the screen remains blank for about 40 seconds before anything appears on the display. You might also hear beeping sounds. Eventually, an HP BIOS Update screen displays and the BIOS update begins automatically.

CLICK HERE FOR MORE STEPS AND INSTRUCTIONS.

(By the end of this article all the issues should be resolved)

 

Also, if the bios recovery isn't working out as advised above, The best way to resolve the issue is by using the HP Guided Troubleshooter:

The power supply is on with a green light. The drive hass been formatted.  The recommendations dont work. I wish I made a Bios recovery drive. If someone has one for this PC wold be great.
