Product: HP Laptop PC 15-dw3000 (1A3X9AV)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

During the upgrade to Win11, I encountered this issue; I assume during the process it tried to update the bios. Boots to the Bios Update page..." Initializing....." then repeats/loops. I tried

- HP recovery BIOS / roll back command...I can't recall the exact keystrokes but its something like hold down Ctrl+ Shift blah blah 

- Download the latest bios to USB and tried booting to that but cannot get to the boot menu

 

At this point, I'm convinced it's bricked.  

 

Spefic model is 15-dw3033dx
