    I recently tried to update the bios on a DM4-1180sf from F23 to F27.

    I've followed the instructions as said, unfortunately I don't know why, but during the update the PC shutdown (connected to AC power...)

    Now the pc won't boot. Black screen

    Caps lock led is flashing and the F12/Wifi led is on.
    After few minutes fans work full speed...

    I've tested a lot of things to recover my bios :
    - Try to boot with WIN+B
    - Formatting with HP Tools UEFI
    - Remove battery and Try to boot with WIN+B
    - Decrypt the bios with phoenixtool
    - follow Restoring the BIOS | HP® Support
    - follow HP Compaq BIOS Crisis Recovery from a Failed BIOS Flashing Using a USB Flash Disk | Software | Fclose.com
    - follow bios | DON'T PANIC

    Nothing.

    The PC stay in blackscreen :smileysad:
    An idea ?
    Many thanks
