HP Recommended
Product: 15-d017
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

I am trying to get my 15-d017cl to boot after upgrading the bios, here's what happened:

- installed SSD to replace failing hdd, computer worked great but disk had bad sectors (verified failing hdd w/2nd computer)

- enabled Legacy support in BIOS so I could install w7 Pro 64bit

- installed w7 Pro 64bit, no problems, booted into Windows, everything working as expected

- installed Audio driver from HP site for this 15-d017cl

- upgraded BIOS from HP site for 15-d017cl, program said BIOS flash 100% then hung

- after about 10 minutes I repowered the machine, black screen

- booting while pressing F10 key brings up standard white text on screen "F10...BIOS Setup Options, but it hangs there

- booting while holding down the Win+B keys with or without a USB (which has a different BIOS update) just hangs

 

How do I unbrick my machine?

 

I tried to download the 1.5 GB tool for a USB that will roll back the BIOS update but the download stops after 130-160MB, I tried 6 times. Is HP capping downloads from their FTP server???

Help! Any ideas will be appreciated.

Does my model support Win+B keys to roll back the BIOS update?

Is there another site where I can d/l the USB tool to roll back the BIOS update?

HELP!
