Try taking a look here to decode beep codes:

Then you have to search for the POST code.

In this case, this is POST code 16h, which means BIOS checksum failed. In other words, the BIOS is corrupt.

If you are able to boot enough to do a BIOS update, that should fix the problem.

However, if you can't then you really need someone with a device programmer to help you pop the FLASH part and reprogram it. If you have a friend with a good E800, you could copy their part. Or else, the BIOS update that you download from HP is just a binary file, and it could be used on a device programmer.
