Hi there,

i really loved my omen laptop, so i update last week on the latest bios version (f.53)

But then my device just dead,could not boot anymore.

In bios you can just not chose the bootmedia.

I try to change the format from the hdd and ssd from mbr to gpt and back again.

Today i try to install ubuntu and mx but still the same result... no bootable device.

There must be a way how i downgrade my laptop to a functioning bios version.

Is there maybe some else , with the same problem.

Hi @Really78 

 

Welcome to the HP support community.
 

I understand you're experiencing an issue with your HP device, and I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. I'm here to help you today.
 

It sounds like you're facing a frustrating issue with your HP Omen laptop after updating the BIOS. Here’s how you can try to resolve the problem:

 

1. Perform a Hard Reset

  • Power Off: Completely shut down the laptop.
  • Disconnect Power: Unplug the charger and remove the battery (if removable).
  • Drain Residual Power: Press and hold the power button for about 15-20 seconds.
  • Reconnect Power: Reinstall the battery, plug in the charger, and try to power on the laptop.

2. Access BIOS

  • Restart the laptop and immediately press Esc or F10 repeatedly to access the BIOS.
  • Check the boot options and ensure that your HDD/SSD is recognized. If not, there may be a hardware issue.

3. Reset BIOS to Defaults

  • In the BIOS menu, look for an option to restore defaults or factory settings.
  • Save the changes and exit.
  • Click HERE

4. Downgrade BIOS

If you want to downgrade the BIOS, you can usually do this using a USB drive:

Download Previous BIOS Version:

  • Go to the HP support website and search for your laptop model.
  • Find the previous BIOS version (F.52 or earlier) in the BIOS section.

Create a Bootable USB Drive:

  • Format a USB drive to FAT32.
  • Download and extract the BIOS update file onto the USB drive.
  • Click HERE

Initiate BIOS Recovery:

  • Insert the USB drive into the laptop.
  • Turn off the laptop.
  • Press and hold the Windows + B keys, then press the power button. Continue holding the keys until the BIOS recovery screen appears.

Follow On-Screen Instructions:

  • Follow the prompts to select the BIOS file on the USB drive and proceed with the downgrade.

5. Check Hardware Connections

  • If the laptop still doesn’t recognize the HDD/SSD, check internal connections. Reseat the drives if you're comfortable doing so.

I hope this helps! Keep me posted.
