Notebook Hp dv5-1118es​, How to recover BIOS ? PLEASE HELP

Question

here is the link of a youtube video i uploaded just for you to see how my notebook is NOT booting at all.

My best guess is that i need a BIOS recovery... but i can not boot from usb or even a disc.
I red about making my own USB with HP UEFI BIOS update and then try to use the windows+B start from here:

my problem is that i dont know where to find those bin files (even if i do, i dont know wich ones would be for my model)... moreover (as you see in the video) i doubt this is goin to make any difference since it is not taking the USB boot command from boot order.
should i throw this one to the trash and buy another one ?

Hey MatiV, 
I'm sorry you're running into this no boot issue! Thanks for making that video though. It really helps to know and see exactly what you've tried and how it's behaving.
You could try Windows key + B by itself. You don't need the UEFI flash drive necessarily and actually, your notebook is not UEFI capable.
1. Shutdown
2. Power on and immediately press and hold the Windows key + B for about 5 seconds. 
3. Release those keys and wait about 5 minutes for an image to come onto the screen. You should be presented with the question, "Are you sure you want to roll back the BIOS". Select Yes. 
4. Allow it to finish loading. This could take an hour (probably less though). 
Sometimes this takes a couple of tries. If you can at least get the, "Are you sure you want to roll back the BIOS" part, it should be successful. If it isn't, try pressing F11 System Recovery from the ESC Startup Menu at power on. Try a System Restore if it will allow you to, or if you want to just go straight back to factory conditions, perform a recovery. Recoveries using the HP partition take about 30-45 minutes.
Let me know the results when you get a chance
