Hi there,
Try disconnecting the hard drive from the laptop and try booting.

Looks like your going to need to remove the CMOS battery (Contains all the BIOS configurations)
Its a silver battery in the shape of a circle.
Take the back cover off and look for it (Should be on the motherboard/mainboard)

Attempt number three then 😉
We could update the BIOS but since you cant get into the BIOS we cant do that 🙁
Looks like the BIOS has activated "Fast boot" its where it disables post and doesn't allow you into it by pressing f2 and other hotkeys...
Ill do a bit of research for you and get back to you soon 😉
