I tried to power on  laptop however only the power button turned on and the screen kept blinking on and off

 

so I pressed the windows key and the b key to enter boot mode

 

As i entered boot mode it then came up with bios update system bios recovery

 

when it finished loading it came up with bios recovery 500 press enter to continue

 

after that the screen turned off and continued blinking on and off like the beginning 

Does anyone know what this is and what I could do to fix this pleasereceived_1119601805650976.jpegreceived_472117164973836.jpegreceived_769614417440017.jpeg

Hello @INKEDFOX 

 

Use another computer to create <USB flash drive>

HP Consumer Notebook PC BIOS Update

F.14 Rev.A12.1 MBApr 10, 2022Download

 

Follow -> BIOS Recovery Reinstall with USB

HP Recommended

Unfortunately I don't have another computer on hand but I'll try to ask around if some does.

HP Recommended

Hello @INKEDFOX 

 

Ask a friend/neighbor/acquaintance. You will need 2 <USB Flash drives> Type 2.0 and 3.0 for safety.

 

Good luck
