Blank Screen, Caps lock light blinks 3 fast 2 slow. Need help..?

I have a HP pavilion laptop model: 14- ce0505sa. Was working perfectly. I just bought it a year back. The problem started when Microsoft sent the update. It was booting up frequently and then after a few days when I tried to reinstall windows and clicked restart it went of..and frm then the black screen and capslock light beeps. I thought it's the ram but it works on someone else's laptop. Open to suggestions. Would appreciate it if someone could help me out in this. Cheers

What you need to do is boot from the Windows 10 Installation Media that you have.

# Insert the flash drive with the Windows installation files on it.

  1. For other: You can borrow someone else's Windows 10 install media if you need to. You're not installing or reinstalling Windows, you're just accessing Advanced Startup Options.

# Boot from the USB device.

# Select Next from the Windows Setup screen.

# Choose Repair your computer at the bottom of the window.

# Advanced Startup Options will start, almost immediately.

What you are looking for is Startup Repair. Run this a few times until Windows boots up correctly.

There are other options but this is a start. Driver issues could be part of the problem.

Johnny Terence Rodrigues appears to be a BIOS error. The error indicates embedded controller has timed out waiting for the BIOS to return from system board initialization (end of POST).

 The blinks indicate system board failure on your PC.

 Try restoring the BIOS to default and check if it helps.

 1.    Turn off the computer and wait five seconds.

2.    Press the Power button to start the computer and repeatedly press the F10 key to enter the BIOS setup menu.

3.    On the BIOS Setup screen, press F9 to select and load the BIOS Setup Default settings.

4.    Press F10 to Save and Exit.

5.    Use the arrow keys to select Yes, then press Enter when asked Exit Saving Changes?

6.    Follow the prompts to restart your computer.

Only get caps lock 3 long 2 short. Esc, pwr+win+b, f10....none of that does anything. Should I start unplugging ribbon cables one by one and try to boot each time?
