HP Notebook 15-bs180tx – Black Screen / No POST After BIOS Update on Windows 11
Hi everyone,
I have an HP Notebook 15-bs180tx that was recently upgraded to Windows 11. After noticing a firmware issue following the Windows update, I downloaded and ran the official HP BIOS Update utility directly from my internal SSD (without using a USB recovery drive).
The installer booted into the BIOS update screen, completed the process, and triggered an automatic restart. Since then, the laptop will not boot and only shows a completely black screen.
Current Symptoms:
- Display: Completely black (no HP logo or screen backlight).
- LED Indicators: Both the power LED and charging LED are glowing.
- Hardware Activity: I can hear internal sounds indicating the system is trying to start up, and the optical/CD drive spins intermittently.
- Keyboard: No keyboard lights or Caps Lock blinking codes.
What I Have Already Tried:
- Attempted the Win + B and Win + V BIOS recovery key combinations, neither of which triggered a recovery screen.
Since HP's official support page only lists BIOS updates for Windows 10 (64-bit) for this model, I suspect running the utility inside Windows 11 may have corrupted the BIOS flash. Has anyone experienced this or know how to force a BIOS recovery on this model? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi:
I seem to recall that many folks that updated their 15-bsXXX notebooks had issues with that update.
I don't believe that you running the W10 file in W11 caused the problem.
You can look through the related posts reporting issues with BIOS version F.75 at the link below:
Since you can't go back to an earlier version once that update was installed, the only suggestion I can offer would be to watch these two videos at the links below for how to make and use the BIOS recovery flash drive to recover or update the BIOS outside of Windows.
