  1. ok weird one i ran teh MSI Live Update 6.2.0.74 BIOS/firmware update on my work laptop because teh support page said it improves stability. partway through, the progress bar froze. now when i press the power button, i get this:

    Reboot and Select proper Boot device

    Reboot and Select proper Boot device
    or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key
    
    No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key
    

    the fans spin, a light comes on, but nothing appears on screen. no logo, no beeps. I'm terrified I've bricked it. I haven't tried anything yet because I don't wanna make it worse. what do I do now? what am i doing wrong??

  2. ahh classic first, wait. Some firmware updates continue after a reboot with a black screen and fans at full speed. Leave it on, plugged in, for at least 15 to 20 minutes before concluding it failed. lmk how it goes
