Computer doesn't boot

[Bonsou33r]

Hi.
I tried to update my Framework Laptop 13 (AMD 7040 edition) to the latest BIOS version, which is BIOS 3.18. I update my computer pretty much every day, so I guess the latest BIOS I had installed was 3.06, but can't verify because when I re-opened my computer, the screen was black and I couldn't interact with it.
Before I came back to it and noticed the issue, I clicked on "Restart and update" and left it while it was charging, battery was almost at 100%.
I am a Fedora 43 user, I updated the BIOS through the tool called "Software" (the GUI for updating DNF packages and flatpak packages, but also the BIOS).
Is there anyone with the same issue as me who fixed it? Is this a bug? Did I do something wrong ?

Could you try to fully reset the system by removing the battery and power adapter for a minute?

My BIOS update via fwupdmgr on latest Fedora Silverblue 43 went fine. However, after/during the update, my screen went black, and then there was no more reaction. Turns out the new BIOS broke booting with my Lenovo ThinkPad USB-C Dock Gen 2 (40AS). I had to disconnect the dock, and then it booted up fine again.

Thanks for the help John, it worked.
Have you any idea of how it could have happened? How could I prevent this in the future?
