Laptop HP Elite 840 G1
Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Dears, I have a laptop HP Elite 840 G1.

While switching it on, the keyboard and the start button started flashing. They keep flashing and nothing else happens.

I read that it depends on the BIOS which is not read correctly.

Thus, I downloaded the BIOS file and put it on a USB sticker. I inserted the USB sticker in one of the USB ports, then I pushed the window button + C or V just before or after the start button, while the USB sticker was inserted. Nothing happens.

Any other suggestion?

Many thanks

Best.
