Sel test faild

Apple has a variety of 'beeps' (sound) and 'blinks' (lights) for both computers and monitors. Your 3 beeps (wild guessing here) could be as noted in this link below ... which will also steer you in the right direction. Note too, that blinking lights - can have a pattern (3 blinks: short-short-long, for example). These also have specific diagnostic meanings and you might make a note before searching.

Link to some ref on blinks and beeps is here (a paste follows this note too):

Power On Self-Test Beep Definition - Part 2 - http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n58442

The power on self-test resides in the ROM of the computer. This test runs whenever the computer is turned on after being fully shut down (the power-on self-test does not run if the computer is only restarted).

If a fault is detected during the test, you will not hear a normal startup chime. Instead, the system will beep as explained below. If you experience one of these beeps, you may call your Apple Authorized Service Provider for additional troubleshooting assistance.

1 beep = no RAM installed
2 beeps = incompatible RAM types
3 beeps = no good banks
4 beeps = no good boot images in the boot ROM (and/or bad sys config block)
5 beeps = processor is not usable

In addition to the beeps, on some computers the power LED will flash a corresponding number of times plus one. The LED will repeat the sequence after approximately a 5-second pause. The tones are only played once.

You can also run Apple Hardware test from your original installer disc. Sometimes with RAM it is just easier to pull units and test them individually.

Please take a moment to rate this solution & let us know if the information given was useful to you - Good Luck!

Try resetting pram or nv ram by holding down apple and option on left of space bar and the letters p and r and keep them depressed before the first chime and until after the third chime.


These beeps are a sign of self test failure. Might get lucky and be able to start in safe mode by holding down s key when you boot it up.

Dell beep codes:

If your computer beeps during start-up:
Run Dell Diagnostics to identify a more serious cause.

Beep Codes Your computer might emit a series of beeps during start-up if the monitor cannot display errors or problems. This series of beeps, called a beep code, identifies a problem. One possible beep code (code 1-3-1) consists of one beep, a burst of three beeps, and then one beep. This beep code tells you that the computer encountered a memory problem.
If your computer beeps during start-up:
Dell Diagnostics to identify a more serious cause.

Contact Dell for technical assistance.

well get Ethernet working first. wired to router
than at gateway.com get the driver for this,
see it works.
laptop old
came with w7 but gw does not support xp here. xp is 8 years older.
NO XP allowed, a super bad idea XP the virus magnet .

the driver update is there

I don't know anything about these units, nor do I have time to source any docs for you, but maybe you can try connecting a PC directly to the port your patch panel is connecting the the switch from, you can at least see if that port is working.
My next and only other suggestion is to invest in a "LAN cable tester". In my area, you can find cheap ones for U$20.
The tester will allow you to check connectivity between any two ports, and allows you to test both patch links and individual CAT5/6 cables.
Good luck!

Error 1 is an indication that the self test has failed. This will require repair at an authorized Fluke service center. There is an internal problem with the meter. The only thing that you can try is to replace the internal battery. Should the battery be defective, the internal testing can be effected. I have only seen this occur once, but it is worth the attempt. Should a new battery not fix the problem, return the meter to Fluke for repair.

replace with a new card. The beeps are indicitive 0f failed hardware 2 beep 2 beeps = video card series of 3 beeps keyboard ,malfunction etc etc so whichever card now gives you one long beep you had better start there.....

3 beeps POST code (power on self test) means RAM problem.
Reseat the RAM module/s and boot up your computer.
If you have two RAM modules, remove them both and insert one at a time to test them, to determine which module is faulty.
If it still doesn't work then replace the RAM module/s

The System Event Log may become full of erroneous IPMI Events reported by the System BIOS. When this occurs, the following message may appear during Power-On Self-Test (POST) and POST cannot continue without user input:
02a2: BMC System Error Log (SEL) Full
Press F1 to Continue, Press F2 to Setup
If the above message appears during POST, perform the following steps to run BIOS setup and delete the System Event Log:

1. Boot the server and press the F10 key when prompted to run BIOS Setup.
2. Select the "Advanced" menu.
3. Scroll down to "IPMI" and press the ENTER key
4. Scroll down to the System Event Log and press the ENTER key.
5. At the "Clear System Event Log" selection, press the ENTER key to toggle between "Enable" and "Disable."
6. Select "Enable."
7. Press the F10 key to Save the changes and exit the BIOS Setup.
