Try link: http://blog.parts-people.com/2014/06/27/dell-inspiron-m501r-m5010-beep-codes-diagnostic-indicators-2/ How to identify beep codes: When a laptop or computer first powers on, it goes through an initial set of diagnostic tests to make sure vital components are preforming correctly. These tests are called POST or Power On Self Test. When a test fails, the user is notified via POST codes, Light codes, or Beep codes. For diagnosing Beep codes you need to:

• Power on the laptop or restart it if it is already on.
• Listen to the number of consecutive beeps when the computer begins to boot. Restarting the laptop may be necessary and should not harm the laptop at this time.

Dell Inspiron M501R (M5010) Beep Codes # of Beeps Description Possible Cause(s) 1 BIOS ROM checksum in progress or failure System board failure, covers BIOS corruption or ROM errors. 2 No Memory (RAM) detected Memory or Memory slot failure 3

• chipset Error (North and South bridge error, DMA/IMR/Timer error)
• Time-Of-Day Clock test failure
• Gate A20 failure
• Super I/O chip failure
• Keyboard controller test failure

System board failure 4 Memory read / write failure Memory failure 5 Real Time Clock (RTC) power fail CMOS battery failure 6 Video BIOS test failure Video subsystem failure 7 CPU Cache test failure Processor failure or motherboard failure 8 LCD LCD failure Most Common Fixes:

• 1 Beep: Replace the motherboard / system board.
• 2 Beeps: Reseat the memory or replace the memory.
• 3 Beeps: Replace the motherboard / system board.
• 4 Beeps: Reseat the memory or replace the memory.
• 5 Beeps: Replace the CMOS battery.
• 6 Beeps: Reseat or replace the video card or replace the motherboard / system board.
• 7 Beeps: Reseat or replace the CPU or replace the motherboard.
• 8 Beeps: Reseat the LCD cable or replace the LCD screen.

1) Look at the bottom of the Mercury logo screen when it comes up.

2) Memorize or write down the -> enter BIOS Setup, or enter CMOS Setup key.

3) Restart the computer.

Let it go to Windows, then Start > Turn Off Computer > Restart.

Won't go to Windows? Hold down the CTRL and ALT and DELete keys AT THE SAME TIME. This will restart your computer.

AS SOON AS the monitor screen goes blank, (Windows is restarting), tap on the enter BIOS Setup key repeatedly.
Tap in 2 second intervals.

Hear a series of beeps? They are Stuck Key Error Code beeps, and you are causing them. Ignore the beeps.

Computer is off?

AS SOON AS you press the Power On button, start tapping on the enter BIOS Setup (CMOS Setup) key.

The enter BIOS Setup window goes by F-A-S-T. The above method/s will get you into BIOS Setup.

has it been dropped,sounds like a loose connection as the keyboard plug is around the centre under the keyboard,if you can get the keyboard of id check the plug,the keyboardsare usually quite easy to take out

Common issue you will have to reflow the GPU or replace the motherboard. Check out www.msbin.com for a diy guide.

sorry to say but you have Memory or video problems

Do you know what type of bios its running ?

is it one long beep ? or just short continuous beeps ?

1 long beep is graphics card failure

constant short beeps is memory failure depending on motherbord manufacture

It can be fixed by you if its short constant beeping if its the long beep tho it isnt quite as eazy as you have to remove half of the laptop to get to the graphics card

if you msg back with the laptop model number i can look into this further for you

Pull your ram cards and restart... see what you get. Then restart WITH them... you may just have an unseated ram card.

If your system board fixed but come trouble again.

Sometimes flex power cable problem too.
Check out internal your system.
or Mainboard problem. video chipset.

try to remove all external device connected to your computer. just leave the keyboad, mouse and monitor connected.
restart computer.
if still a blank screen
remove everything connected to your computer (mouse kyeboard and monitor) restart if nothing happens
open your computer and remove all devices (hard drive, optical drives, memory... restart,,, you should be hearing beeping sounds indicating motherboard is looking for memory. try putting back 1 memory at a time and checking all mem slot. to identify if one of the memory could be causing the blank screen. if both memory will not work try to use known good working memory. if you dont get to hear the beeping sound using a known good working memory. your memory is the problem.
give me more info

try this without battery installed. see if that does anything..

hey, so ir dv9000 doesnt boot to hp logo screen & restart itself,first replace the cmos battery if thisdoesnt solves ur problem, the next time u boot check whether the rj45 & the dial up port give a led flash on start or not ,if not then u may have hape board ,cpu or power problem ....which can be fixed by repair only.
