I need help. Today I tried upgrading my factory laptop (8gb ram / 256gb ssd) to 16gb (1 corsair) and a 1tb ssd (wd black), I opened the laptop without issues or major effort, carefully removed the stock ram and placed the new one, clicked in easily. Then took the little ssd screw off, swapped in the new ssd and put screw back in place. Covered the laptop with its plastic case without pushing it into place, turned it over and tried booting it (had a Win11 flash ready for a fresh install).

To my surprise, it won't show anything on screen and is looping into 3 long blinks and 2 short (on the capslock key)... Which according to Google is a ram and/or BIOS issue...

I already tried swapping the ram to the other slot, using the stock ram, using the old ssd, nothing works, whatever I do it keeps blinking the same.
