ROG GL502VS-DS71 automatic EZ flash bricked laptop help

Hi all. 2 days ago I turned my laptop on, all I did was push power them walk away. When I came back it had went right in to ezflash and was trying to do something but it all locked up.

I'm working away from home and I didn't have any bios files loaded or internet (not that that would work) on powering off and back on I get a power light, a caps lock light and the external power light. All lights are solid. There is seemingly no power to the screen as it is completely black, there is no backlight to it. I've pulled the nvme and both batteries for a while and replugged them and tried to restart the laptop to no avail.

I've tried holding down multiple buttons etc... On power up but nothing makes a difference.

I paid 2 grand for this laptop and I'm desperately hoping it's not completely bricked.

Any help would be amazing.

Windows update is now pushing bios updates too. And it seems that it's causing all sorts of problems to a number of people.

Thanks for your input. When I get home from work in a few weeks I'll try out some of the suggestions I've had online and then if not, Asus have been helpful with the RMA process.

Hopefully someone learns that bios updates need to be agreed by the owner not by Microsoft pushing them. A little check box to warn you what is going on and to back up your system etc... Would be nice.
