Product: HP Elitebook 840 G3 - 64-bit
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

My HP Elitebook 840 G3 won't power up.  The following lights are blinking: 

1. Power and whole Keyboard backlight blinking together

2. Amber battery light alternates blinking with the other three lights on the front edge of the computer.

I took the battery out and the same light pattern persists using the power adapter cord.  Put the battery back in and still blinks in the same way. 

Hoping for help, the issue is preventing me from working. 

Thanks Everyone!

Update:  I watched a youtube and removed one of the RAM cards and turned it on without it.  It powered on and I got a white screen with instructions telling verifying the memory change.  I unplugged it again and re-installed the RAM card.  Now the computer is beeping.   When I removed the same RAM card again the beeping stopped and the computer booted up to the Windows Page!  I don't know what is going on or what to do now.  Do I have a bad RAM card that needs to be replaced?
