I was hoping they could tell me more so I could maybe replace say just the ailing cpu fan or something, but it looks like the laptop is junk =(
But I did try your advice trigger, and the code just continued to flash.

It sure looked like a bad motherboard or a corrupt BIOS. That's good that you called them up. That took a lot of troubleshooting on our part

If you want to continue just out of curiosity... replace the RAM first.
