    You tried to upgrade to F.40 correct?

    Someone else did also and had the same problem. Tried virtually all known BIOS recovery methods to no avail. You can read about it the HDX owners thread.

    This has happened to a number of people with that BIOS update. Time to let HP and everyone know it's a dangerous update that should be pulled.

    Sorry to say mate, but it has to go back to HP. May take many weeks for them to fix it.
