Error Beeps On Start Up

By rikkalan on Jul 10, 2008

" "

I am experiencing a strange phenomenon, when I boot up the A200, there are a series of steady mid-toned beeps - if I don't touch anything it will beep endlessly. As soon as an arrow key is depressed (doesn't matter which one) and held, it stops beeping and begins to load Windows Vista for Business. The computer operates perfectly, with no apparent issues! There are no error messages or anything that would indicate a problem exists with the keyboard itself, other than the beeps.

those beeps are more or less error codes from the bios post test. can you enter the bios/setup on startup? if so can you reset to default or optimum settings?

- I have the same problem on my IBM NetVista. After we set it to default settings on the computer it started doing the exact same thing you described. How do we change it back?- Guest

Hi!

It could be a problem with the keyboard that it might have a sticky key. Try to check the keyboard for some sticky keys and check if you can still clean them or else replace it. :)

Hope this helps!

Thanks,
Karlox™ :)
