Hey man thanks for the reply
this didn't work for me 
I think this guide is for laptops that at least turn on with a blank screen
Mine is completely dead and doesn't turn on after the stupid bios update 😞

So now (IMHO) your only option is to look for laptop repair shop. Fortunately laptops with bricked bios are fully salvageable with the right equipment and know-how
