No bootable devices - xps 13

Hi All,

I am running into a very bad problem.
Yesterday I had an issue with my my sddm.
Whenever I tried to start it would say: "Flatpak: Error while loading  shared library: libicuuc 67"
Then I tried rebuilding my aur packages - this didn't lead to any improvements.
Today, I tried updating with  "sudo pacman -Syu"
which succeed - then I did a reboot and now when I turn on the computer - the system doesn't start.
It says "No bootable devices"

Any idea how I can interact with the machine in this situation?
How can I get to a working terminal?
And how can I create a backup of the files inside it?

Thank you very much!!

Re: No bootable devices - xps 13

Load up a live ISO image and check the NVRAM boot entries:

efibootmgr -v

You can probably fix this by copying the UEFI loader to /EFI/BOOT/bootx64.efi on the EFI system partition.
