Brix Bricked by BIOS?

Just checking in if there's anything else I should try for a bricked Gigabyte GB-BXBT-2807?

I flashed the F8 BIOS according to the instructions included with the Windows flash utility. Previous BIOS was F2. After restarting the screen just stayed black. After 5 minutes I turned off power via the button. Turning it on again and still no POST. Attached USB devices receive power, as does a SATA drive. I unplugged the power and removed and reinserted the CMOS battery. Still the same behaviour. When plugging power in, the Brix will turn on by itself, but a long hold of the power button will turn it off. I removed the CMOS battery again with power unplugged and left it over an hour. Still a black screen with no sign of POST. I have tried both the HDMI and VGA outputs.
 
I would open a trouble ticket with Gigabyte and see if they have an answer/fix for you.
