Hello, I'm dealing with an old HP 280 G1 MT Business PC. I attempted a BIOS update following an SSD upgrade and installing Windows 10. After the update, the PC restarted but never turned back on. I only see a black screen and sometimes hear 8 beeps or double 8s. I've tried removing the battery, adjusting jumpers, and even using a PS/2 keyboard with an active USB adapter. Nothing worked. I can't use the "Windows + B/V" mode because none of the keyboards are recognized. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Already attempted to eliminate the motherboard battery, took out the CD drive and removed disks, etc.
