Provide the full machine model number, serial number (or Service tag, SNID) and the board model number (see https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=88758 ) ,The serial number, make, full model number, motherboard model and revision (except QR codes) must be written/typed at your request as per the rules.

Recently when I turned on my laptop the Caps Lock started flashing and I can see it flashing twice and doing it in a loop. The screen does not turn on. If I'm right, I figured it might be a bad BIOS.
The thing is, if I want to try the boot from USB method, I kindly need to find the latest BIOS file for this laptop, which I sadly can't find online on HP website.
If perhaps the EEPROM chip is faulty, then I don't know of a simple solution because I would have to have it serviced.

Thank you very much for your quick help and for the attached BIOS file. I will try to create a recovery USB drive and try to perform a BIOS recovery. In your opinion, besides win+B or win+V, would there be any other keyboard combination to enter the BIOS recovery screen on an HP laptop? Since I don't see anything on the screen when I turn on the laptop, would the disabled Legacy Boot mode (UEFI enabled) affect it from not booting from the USB stick and loading up the BIOS recovery?
Then I noticed that the laptop is labeled in a series, for example k000, k100 and k200. So mine would be k200.
I later found a executable update for k200 on the same website https://drivers.softpedia.com/get/BI...0-64-bit.shtml
Since both BIOS update files sp92961.exe are identical in name, size, and file details, would it be safe to assume that there would be no difference in installing k000 instead of k200? 😑
I really don't want to think about the idea that I may have messed up my BIOS and now some features won't work.
