Product: HP Pavilion
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

A few months ago I downloaded a BIOS update for my laptop, and since then it has been bricked. Previously I was able to get into BIOS but not the OS, and now when I turn it on, it shows a power indicator, the fans spin up, then stop a few seconds later, and the power indicator stays on and the screen does not start. I've tried booting without a battery, the ssd, removing the ribbon cable for the display, none of it has worked. It's frustrating because it's just barely outside the warranty period. I've tried using the files HP provides for BIOS updates, but when I run them it downloads a .exe file and running that does nothing. I cannot figure out how to create a bootable USB either.
