hi
you mean that even by replacing the original module, you have exactly the same sequence of beeps?

small problem the old hp pages have been deleted, sometimes there were other indications
but see here, only 5 does not correspond to anything special, but it is always related to bios / motherboard
unless it is not 5 beeps same lengths, but in total?
don't mind the color you may not have
what matters is long or short
The red light blinks five times, and then two, short white light blinks (5 long red, 2 short white)
The red light blinks five times, and then three, short white light blinks (5 long red, 3 short white)
The red light blinks five times, and then four, short white light blinks (5 long red, 4 short white)
The red light blinks twice, and then three, short white light blinks (2 long red, 3 short white)
The red light blinks three times, and then two, short white light blinks (3 long red, 2 short white)

All I can tell you is that if we search, in general it would be a memory problem, but not always solved
I don't have the exact configuration here
but you have one of these three motherboard normally
- Motherboard Specifications, AAHD2-HY (Holly2)
- Motherboard Specifications, H-Cupertino3-H61-uA TX (Cupertino3)
- Motherboard Specifications, MSI MS-7778 (Jasmine)
if there is a graphics card, and you can connect the monitor to the motherboard, remove it
turn off the computer, unplug the power supply, press the power button for a moment, remove the graphics card, remove the memory module
restart without memory module, to check if same series of beeps
Start over, and replace the original module, connect the screen to the motherboard
If nothing changes, and it's still the same beeps, then all I can suggest is to buy another module
but check the compatibility for the motherboard
