Does anybody own a COMPAQ Contura 4/25CX Laptop?

If so, have someone experienced or knows error codes of that laptop? I've recently got that system and it just outputs 3 long and 3 shorts giving no image. I've already tried using the integrated VGA port to switch the screen modes to dedicated monitor but that didn't help. There was a ram extender, but removing it didn't do anything.

Got an external keyboard or mouse plugged? There was a period where the "PS/2" port on compaq laptops only seemed to be for a numeric keypad and it flaked with anything else.

Unicorn herding operations are proceeding, but all the totes of hens teeth and barrels of rocking horse poop give them plenty of hiding spots.
