I was in the process of downloading drivers after a clean install of Windows 10 when I saw that my BIOS was out of date. I downloaded the flashing utility, plugged in AC power, and let it reboot my computer. It successfully booted into the BIOS flashing tool and finished writing and verifying all 2048 blocks. It said it would reboot, and I let it. After rebooting, though, nothing happened for 30 minutes. Fully black screen. No indicator lights or anything.
I reluctantly power cycled the computer, and it confirmed that it's bricked. Doesn't respond to any inputs. Backlight turns on and off intermittently and the CPU fan is on, but that's it. I tried holding WinKey+B as some suggest online but it didn't do anything. I tried making a BIOS recovery USB with another computer, but the laptop doesn't touch it.
The BIOS update wasn't interrupted, it seems that Rev74A itself is bricking machines. Very disappointed and upset as I have no idea how to recover from this. Advice would be appreciated. Please and thank you.
