Hello @Rogeeve

@Ub6424 Hey. Thanks.  I did try that. What happened is that the BIOS updates complete and then it would restart to write the new data in what I describe as a Ms DOS screen but as soon as it starts to write the blocks the unit shuts on its own and this repeats itself. Any more ideas? Is the PC bricked?

 The Bios recovery mechanism does not work, Bios backup defective or Bios chip defective. What should I say ? 

 

Recommendation and solution

 

(1) HP warranty valid -> Contact HP Support for service repair

or

(2) HP warranty expired:

The BIOS can be reflashed with a "programmer" by a professional computer (chip level) repair store. But there is no guarantee that the computer will continue to work 100% after that.

 

Give it a try ...

 

Kind regards
