As with the others I have an HP 14-ck0999na laptop running Windows 10 which fails to start after an HP BIOS update. After trying the Windows + B method, the laptop booted into a BIOS recovery screen, but then the same thing happened again after restart. Now, Windows + B does not even succeed in loading a recovery screen. The laptop LED lights do not activate except for the "on" light on the side of the device (and the AC power light when the adapter is plugged in).
The machine can be turned "on" and "off" as indicated by the light, but there is no screen activity (not even flickering), no beeps or noises, and no indication of any other activity. Other techniques such as Windows + V or Esc + F10 also do nothing.
I have tried to extract the bios drivers and the program has failed on two different windows 10 computers including an HP desktop.
The sp98252.exe program runs and begins extracting but fails to complete on both. I have also tried older versions of the bios setup and they also fail.
I also tried the 7zip method and all it did was extract a single Insydeflash file.
The PC still has 3 months warranty and the Mrs complained from day 1 it was very slow. Not at all what we expected for a brand new PC. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
