Hi @PRAVEE2, Welcome to HP Support Community. 

 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you. 
If your HP Pavilion Gaming 15-ec0100ax is not booting after updating the BIOS from F.14 to F.19, try the following troubleshooting steps:

Perform a Hard Reset

  1. Power off your laptop.
  2. Disconnect the charger and remove any peripherals (USB drives, external monitors, etc.).
  3. Press and hold the power button for 30 seconds to drain residual power.
  4. Reconnect the charger and try powering it on.

Try an External Display

  • If you suspect a display issue, connect your laptop to an external monitor via HDMI to check if it shows any output.

Reset BIOS (Win + B Method)

  1. Turn off your laptop.
  2. Hold down the Windows key + B simultaneously.
  3. While holding the keys, press and hold the power button for 3–5 seconds, then release the power button (but keep holding Win + B).
  4. If the BIOS recovery screen appears, follow the on-screen instructions.

Rollback the BIOS Update:

  • If resetting the BIOS settings doesn't work, you might need to rollback to the previous BIOS version (F.14). You can do this by creating a BIOS recovery USB drive:
    • Download the BIOS recovery file for version F.14 from the HP Support website.
    • Follow the instructions to create a BIOS recovery USB drive.
    • Insert the USB drive into your laptop and restart it.
    • Press Esc repeatedly to access the Startup Menu, then press F2 to open the System Diagnostics.
    • Select "Firmware Management" or "BIOS Management" and follow the prompts to rollback the BIOS.

Perform a CMOS Reset (If Accessible)

If you can open your laptop:

  1. Disconnect the battery and charger.
  2. Locate the CMOS battery (small round battery on the motherboard).
  3. Remove it for 5-10 minutes, then reinsert it.
  4. Reassemble and try booting again.

 

I hope this helps. 

 

Take care and have a good day.
