Bricked after BIOS update?

I recently updated the BIOS on the UP Squared to the 6.1 BIOS (from https://downloads.up-community.org/). I then followed the guidance in https://github.com/up-board/up-community/wiki/Firmware

Everything went fine and the update was a success (although I ran "reset" from the EFI Shell to reboot the device, as it didn't automatically reboot).

Now the device doesn't boot and all I get is a flashing blue power light, next to the DC jack.

    Hi LemmingOverlord,

    Please confirm when the blue light is on, connect the keyboard, does the Numlock light respond?
    If not, unfortunately, you will need to send it in for aftermarket repairs to fix the problem.
    It seems that the BIOS update failed, and the BIOS cannot be entered due to the current situation.
    Do you still have the BIOS version before the update?

    Best Regard.

    I've just upgraded my board from 5.2 version to 6.1, and my board completely do not start up. No LED is lighting.

    Hi Sir,

    Unfortunately, it looks like updating the BIOS failed.
    Please send this motherboard through customer service personnel for repair.
