    Hey there !
    I just bricked my w150er while trying to update from 02.14 to 02.16.
    when trying to power it up, all it does is having the leds and the fan on.. but foe the rest? nothing...
    any step by step explanation on how to unbrick it?
    thx in advance

    1. How did you attempt to update the Bios?

    2. When you boot, do you see anything on your screen or is it blank?
