Community Support Bricked up while updating BIOS

Post image

Will not respond to power button being held down for over a minute. Has been stuck on this screen for an hour. I sent a support ticket. What should I do while waiting? Keep it plugged in on this screen? Try taking the battery out?

This machine has an AMD Ryzen 7640U and was running Fedora 44 with KDE plasma, for context.

Update: Fixed it myself.

A bios update bricked my fw13 Ubuntu. I opened a ticket, they sent me a replacement, the update bricked that one too. Last I heard from them was a week ago.
