I've updated my G751JY bios numerous times in the bios easyflash tool without a problem.
Now i updated to 211 without a problem (erased, programmed and verified, shutdown). When i restarted it, it was bricked in the boot loop.
I put the 211 bios as G751JY.BIN on usb and booted with ctrl+home, and the computer reflashed the bios, but it's still bricked.
Then i tried the older 208 bios i had, but reflashing back to it didn't help either.
Does anyone know if the G751JY.BIN that everyone is referring to is somehow different from ordinary update files? Also - where can I get that one in case it's the only one capable of unbricking my laptop? I did not find it on the hdd
EDIT: Forgot to add that I have searched for other threads with similar problems - i was just curious if ANYONE has got their bios fixed with the original BIN file? Seems like everyone has just sent theirs to service and got their mobo replaced
Here is m solution if this would be useful for someone else:
I removed both ssd's, installed another which was empty except just for the bios update. I ran the 211 update from the ssd and the machine came to life again
so - beware! i used three different usb sticks in updating at first with different ports - and the sticks were of good quality (i avoid cheap usb memory sticks)
Dunno how it is possible that the usb update crapped out - i checked the SHA on both the hdd file and usb file and they were identical
though i never have had a problem with updating g751jy bios (every version step from 202 to 211) - I always place a bios file on HDD (non os) connected to SATA II port and use winflash...
Sorry hexaae for a super slow answer, but ctrl+home is meant to rescue boot the laptop into a mode where it searches for an original bios image on the hdd in order to reflash the bios if it got bricked. It's very handy!

Really? Where should I put the BIOS file backup then? C:\ root is good? When can I press CTRL+HOME?
