Hi @Behzad_Painter,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
Error code 259 usually indicates that the BIOS update process failed because of a problem with the system's power source or battery. Here are some steps you can try to resolve this issue.
- Ensure that the AC adapter is plugged in and that the battery is charged to at least 30% before attempting the BIOS update.
- Disable any antivirus software or security tools that may be interfering with the BIOS update process.
- Close all other running applications on the computer to reduce the chances of system resource conflicts during the BIOS update.
- Try performing the BIOS update again. If the update fails again, try updating the BIOS using a different method, such as using a USB drive instead of the online update utility.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
