You're dealing with a laptop that has a locked BIOS and needs a reflash. There are steps you can take to try restoring the original BIOS from a USB drive, but success depends on your hardware and experience. Consider checking if the motherboard supports BIOS recovery tools, and ensure you have the correct USB drive with the original BIOS image. If you're unsure, it might be best to contact the manufacturer for guidance or professional repair.

You can update the BIOS via USB, but you require a specific device for this process

Updating the BIOS from the maker keeps it under warranty. If they claim a failed flash isn’t covered, you remain firm and explain they’re accountable for delivering a defective product and must correct their error. (It might sound tough, but warranties exist for manufacturer issues.)

I’d try that, but the laptop is at least a couple of years old, so the warranty isn’t valid.

It seems you're certain this BIOS might be faulty. The relevant information suggests Element 2 could be the culprit, with bios recovery details on page 19 and a bios jumper guide. For setup, F2 handles initial configuration while F4 manages recovery. The recovery file is located at EFI\INTEL\QCCFL357.CAP. You might also want to check Intel's support page or consider using a programmer for further troubleshooting.

I possess the component 1, identified by the 2070 and the 9th generation Intel. I believe it's a faulty BIOS setup, as it shut down during an update.
