Hp update utility popped up a messahe last night about important updates, one of which was a BIOS update, Knowing that Spectre and Meltdown microcode updates are being pushed hard by security we went ahead and allow3ed the update, it claimed it completed successfull and the laptop rebooted, ever sicne, just a blank screen.
I have followed all rcommendations on: https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-pavilion-11-k100-x360-convertible-pc/8499314/model/8961275/document/c02693833
I have also disconnected the battery and cmos battery and let the machine sit for several minutes befoore putting it back together and restarting, same results though.
The only difference is when i try a USB key recovery BIOS... with that I get a 2 sow flash followed by 2 quick flash on caps lock key, which indicates a corrupted bios, which i alreayd know, I suspect it cannot read the USB key, which I recreated twice to make sure it was not the key.
What else shoudl I try since it wa an HP Update that BRICKED this machine.....
