Ultimately, it’s essential to be very patient for such processes. Some people avoid firmware updates altogether no matter the benefits because of the risk of completely disabling a device. However, with hardware updates, including firmware, it’s best to be extra cautious. I am not suggesting the recent situation is your fault, processes can certainly fail on their own for a multitude of reasons. Most of these instructions/warnings are stated before and during the update process, though I hope it also helps to have some explanation. * adjusting, returning settings to defaults During/following a BIOS update, the system may reboot several times and appear unresponsive, including but not limited to a blank/off display, for possibly minutes.Therefore, as a safeguard/precaution, the update utility/motherboard set the fan(s) speed to maximum to reduce any possibility of overheating, which, at the minimum, could force/cause a shutdown, interrupting the BIOS flashing process leaving the BIOS incomplete.

While the BIOS EEPROM is being re-flashed, it is not monitoring CPU and other temperatures. The fan(s) running at full speed during a BIOS update is normal.Ensure the laptop is connected to external power (i.e., charger).Although, for future firmware update instances/cases: Sorry to read about the failed BIOS update. So I use all of them for different needs and am not a fanboy of any OS. The only platform which you have a choice and can see for yourself any code that might be questionable is Linux and for me Linux is not a viable replacement for Windows or MacOS and iOS and Android. I am concerned Apple may build a back door into all of it's OS's to appease China's desire to snoop on everyone including their citizens. I think giving up ones principles to make even a huge profit and letting shareholders determine the trajectory of a company is bad leadership and ultimately self defeating. Apple is unfortunately going down a path I am not so happy with by trying to appease the Chinese government to keep the Chinese market open to them. If I can only choose one platform which I would never do I am not sure which it would be. No Operating system is without flaws and all have certain strengths and weaknesses. Please this is not a discussion to trash any platform as I use a lot of them and enjoy them all.
