HP Recommended
Product: Z420
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

I was updating my Z420 BIOS to version 3.90 (Rev.A 8 Aug 2016) using the HPQFlash utlity in Windows.


After a few minutes I heard a sound of continuous beeping. The computer stops responding to mouse or keyboard.
I waited another 10 Minutes but nothing else happend and I decided to restarted the computer.
But the workstations seems to be dead now: No beep, no LED flashes, no BIOS Screen.

 

I tried to recover the BIOS with a FAT32 formated USB stick and J61_0390.BIN on it, no success. The screen remains dark, only the fans rotationg faster an louder after a while.

 

Any idea what happend a what else I could try?  Any help is greatly appreciated...
