How to Update the BIOS in Your HP Pavilion
In this video, I show you how to update the BIOS in an HP Pavilion Model 690-0024. With recent vulnerabilities like AMD's SMM Callout Privilege Escalation, keeping your BIOS updated can help protect against attacks, as well as resolve hardware issues like BSOD problems and sudden crashes. I apply the BIOS update to a specific HP desktop, but the procedure should apply to all recent consumer HP desktops and laptops. #HPPavilion #BIOSUpdate

Thanks to bbbobbbo77 for the following. Please note that every HP laptop/PC may have different solutions, so it is better to report your specific model and BIOS versions when contacting HP support:
"So in case this helps someone else:
"First off when the BIOS update process failed, the laptop froze on the HP BIOS UPDATE display at 31 % on the progress bar, with full blast both fans, keyboard lit and... it stayed like that forever, nothing else ever happening. One hour later I tried to forcibly turn off the laptop but, alas!, the power button didn't work anymore... Being afraid to both unplug it or remove the USB memory stick out, I left it like that till the next day (so at that point I still hadn't removed the AC power charger or the memory stick with the BIOS update firmware, either), and still no change. It was the next day that I contacted HP support who first told me to relax as they were pretty sure neither the mobo nor anything else (e.g. the BIOS chip) had been broken.
"Next they suggested I should use Windows key + B key combination to restore the old BIOS firmware. The only thing was that in order for that key combination to work, the laptop had to be completely turned off, but as mentioned above, the power button was totally unresponsive no matter how many seconds I had it pressed (I had tried several times keeping it pressed down as long as 5 minutes, but to no avail!).
"Called HP support again, and this time around they advised me to remove the USB memory stick and unplug the laptop and leave it draining the battery out until completely shutdown, and only then plug it back in and attempt restoring the BIOS using windows + B combo. Before that, however, they suggested I should reset the CMOS using a similar combination - windows key + V.
"So I did the following: unplugged the laptop, removed the USB memory stick and waited for the battery to die out. When that was accomplished, I plugged the laptop back and attempted the CMOS reset as described above. To this moment I don't know if I really reset the CMOS, but it didn't matter anymore as the computer started with its old BIOS restored, and, as it seemed, everything was like before, working as it should!
"I don't know if this be the solution for other laptop brands and I hope no one will brick their hardware using the steps I did (especially the one where I unplugged the device and leave the battery to die out), but it seems modern laptops have improved protection and don't get bricked like they used to back in the day."
