Interesting.
But those computers still boot normally, right? It's just the display that won't work? So attaching a monitor would let you log in and roll back the update, no? The hardware wasn't actually fried? Or was it?

BIOS updates can and do brick systems but driver issues don't normally go that deep. Software breaking hardware can happen but it is rare and usually on purpose. (STUXNET, for example.)
