Hi,
I was trying to update the bios for my laptop and when it tried to reboot after installing the screen would not turn on and the caps lock light started flashing. I let it be for a few minutes and still nothing. I have tried to turn it on with a bios recovery usb but the laptop just turned on and started flashing the caps lock light.
What can I do?

Hi
First:- Turn off the computer, press and hold the PWR button for 4 seconds.
Then - Leave only keyboard and mouse connected, disconnect all externally connected
devices such as Docking Station, USB storage devices, displays, and printers.
Unplug the AC adapter from the computer.
Next - Press and Hold the Power button for 15 seconds to Hard Reset.
Rinse and Repeat; Re-Connect the AC adapter.
NOW begin checking/testing/proving the Hardware is fit for purpose.
Power on your PC, press ESC (repeatedly), then F2 at the prompt.
Choose System Tests (Fast Test does a 4 minute hardware check).

I have already tried that solution without any results. Nothing would make the computer reboot. The computer was working fine before trying to update with the HP tool and after the reboot the light code showed that my CPU was not detected even if the only problem in my opinion was the failed BIOS update.
