HP Recommended
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Context: I was given a laptop to repair and determined that it was the BIOS chip that was faulty. 

After resoldering the BIOS chip (and EC controller) with a new one, the laptop was working fine and I managed to install windows and update it. 

However, after restarting the laptop, the BIOS began to update and after completing the update, the laptop no longer turns on. 

 

For lights, the charging button is blinking white and amber, 

While the caps lock light remains on. 

 

I'm thinking about reflashing the BIOS but I cannot find a downloadable BIOS software for the Elitebook 840 G8 on HP's website. 

 

Any other potential solutions would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks in advance!
