So my HP laptop (running Linux) didn’t boot this morning without any reason. It’s interesting. I’m fairly comfortable with computers overall; I’ve upgraded and rebuilt this machine, and the one that won’t start is still under my control. I followed all the steps on HP’s website, have an account, and both laptops are registered, so I wasn’t in a bind about which BIOS version to install. There are two updates available—F.21 Rev.A and F.23 Rev.A. I downloaded the F.23 file first, ran it, created a USB drive, and transferred the files. After that, I placed the USB in the other PC while pressing Win+B and holding the power button for a couple of seconds, as directed. Initially, the broken machine began a BIOS update, but around the middle it went blank (as per the instructions), so I let it finish, though it never completed. Now the computer isn’t recognizing the USB to start the BIOS update. There are no other options; the BIOS is essential for everything to function, and I can’t rely on the built-in HP tools again.
