Product: HP 240 G8 Notebook PC (1H7F4AV)
Can't boot my laptop, Caps Lock is blinking 3 times long then 2 times short. Today I replaced the RAM module with a supposedly working sample, but it didn't help.
Are there any instructions to manually recover the BIOS specifically for this model 240 G8? There are many instructions for other series like this https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/ish_3932413-2337994-16
except not for mine.
It's worth noting that the support information is organized extremely inefficiently, so far I've spent hours finding Caps Lock blinking codes and BIOS resetting
