Caps lock blink 5+3 motherboard failure due to power supply
I have hp 15-g dr0008u notebook pc and facing weird issue of motherboard failure.
When i start pc, as mentioned caps lock blinks 5 times slowly and then 3 times fast so as suggested on hp website this is something unintended with board failure.
So far i have already tried everything mentioned in hp website like hard resetting pc and trying to reset bios with windows+b/v key combination which none of them worked.
So seeing no hope i finally took it to nearest shop and repair adviced there is no proper voltage coming on IC due to some power supply module issue and it will cost me around 3500 inr which can be almost half of second new motherboard price.
I have also faced issues related to power supply earlier in this same year and this all costs me more money which anyone can't afford atleast within this time.
So the question is how hp manufacturer cares for their consumer about power supply distribution and this board $@$*?
Even when i did realise that the cmos battery is inside the main battery which can't be removed anyhow, now i am just thinking this could be nothing but business perspective.

OK, listen, I'm simple terms, I got the back unscrewed. Now what? And don't come at me with all this ram card wifi motherboard magic $@$*. Tell me, “unplug the green one. Then push the button then plug in the cord, and unplug the yellow one. “ I'm an idiot. OK? Not a computer genius. I'm broke, just bought this brand new laptop, had it less than 2 months, need it for my new business, and I'm sitting here with a screw driver trying not to stab myself in the neck in frustration.

If it is new why not take it back and get it repaired under warranty? That's what warranties are for.
Opening up has most probably voided the warranty.
There is a link to the service manual in the answer below if your laptop is the same model as listed above in the question. It will help, along with the answer to hopefully fix it.
If not try the warranty route, hopefully it will be honoured.
