My laptop fails to boot up. On switch-on the processor fan comes on and the cd drive can be heard powering up. Then there is 4 beeps at one second intervals with a 3-4 second break. Nothing else happens, no screen etc. Can anyone help? If this is a motherboard problem, where do I get one?
Can you get into the bios and check that all settings are at default, just to check a few things, also check time and date see if they are incorrect, although sounds like a mobo fault, not worth buying another board, messy project in a laptop.
It may be that your memory is either loose or faulty. Try re-seating and if you have 2 in there try with only one. If you still have a problem replace with the other. Can you get into setup to see cmos setting etc?
