I would like to ask if someone could help with the following issue?

I have a HP probook 4530 that I want to install Linux on, which I thought would be pretty easy, except little did I know that after installing Linux (And wiping the hard drive) I would not be able to anymore gain access to the laptops BIOS.

"The reason is that the BIOS was a UEFI type. A UEFI BIOS has a component that is on the hard disk. You wiped it with the "safe erase". That is why it won't invoke with the F10 keystroke."

Info on this link: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-O...

Having blundered into that mistake, the next fix I tried was using a (Windows + B command while holding the power button)

Using info from this link: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Bo...

This "useful" suggestion seems to have totally bricked the laptop :(

So with battery In, out, both with AC power and pressing the Power button only gives my 8 orange blinking lights, no screen turn on, no beeps, just the orange LED....

Is there anyway (By means of Software, hardware or both) that a person could fix the problem? My main objective is to use the laptop (Which is still in excellent condition) with Linux, its just HP been a bunch of A holes that is preventing me extending the life of this laptop.

Windows 10 Home 64 bit, Insider Preview 15063 (rs2_release)

Core i3 2310M

8GB RAM

120 SSD for windows, 320 HDD

BIOS F.61

Windows boots up fine everytime. Very long time since i went into bios settings, i wanted to see if boot from usb option was on, and on startup when i press esc key or any function keys to get into bios settings, the screen goes black, hard disk light turns on and remains on, caps lock light starts blinking, i don't have num lk key.

I reinstalled bios and nothing changed. My battery is weak, if that matters, a warning is shown on boot up.
