So my laptop randomly went into firmware update the other day and black screened. I thought my motherboard was bricked until I really started trying to solve what happened today. The fans are turning on and I've tried a usb flash, the fans kicked on even more and then the bios corruption screen popped up, a few minutes later it booted to the screen system bios is being updated, flashing bootblock back up region, flashing psp apob backup region, and flashing psp back up region. It's still on and has been for the past 45 minutes where I'm just letting it sit, it's currently still in a black screen. Any idea/help would be wonderful!
