Product: HP-15-DW1083WM
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

Last night (around 4am)  my notebook did an automatic software update which included a Bios update. The charger was plugged in and I did everything I was prompted to. The last message I saw on the screen read "Flashing boot block", display went black and then it bricked. I have tried every method to try and recover my Notebook with no luck. I have performed Bios updates dozens of times with no issue until now. I've owned this unit since December of 2021 and it has gone out of warranty. Please if anyone has any  hope for me recovering my notebook please reach out. 

 

Thanks in advance!
