    Unauthorized W10 update bricked laptop


    Apparently Microsoft tried to update my laptop from 7 to 10 without any agreement from me (I even had auto updates turned off). Now the computer does nothing but display the words below on the screen.


    'Reboot and select proper Boot device and press any key'


    Any help?

    :)

    BIOS update bricks laptop

    I know this is going to blow your mind, but I've had bios bricks and I do laptop refurbs for a living. It happens... Particularly when the flash program is windows only and drivers are amuck.

    Unauthorized W10 update bricked laptop

    BIOS update bricks laptop

    Hey everyone,

    Last night I wanted to update my bios which lead to the laptop bricking and wouldn't turn off until the battery finally died. I tried plugging it in afterwards but the laptop would neither charge nor turn on. I tried every trick in the book, but the laptop would not charge or turn on. Nothing. I read online that this could be due to a corrupt bios chip. I want to replace it, but considering the laptop won't turn on at all, does this also mean the motherboard is damaged? I read online that the motherboard cannot be ruined from a bad bios update so I'm hoping I just need to replace the bios chip as it is a cheaper solution than replacing the entire board. Can anyone recommend what to do? Any advice would be really really helpful. Thanks.
