Laptop amkes a beep sound but doesn't boot

Hello to whoever can help. This laptop started making a beep (6 times) when booting, and never boots. The fan is also doing a hell of a noise. Any idea? Thanks for your kindness. Frank

Dear Master Tom :-))

It is definitly 6 shorts beep, the last one might be a long one. If I could just bypass (no fault mode) the mormal booting I think I shoul be ok. This laptop goes to garbage anyway. If I could only retrieve the data of it. You are very kind to help a pure stranger (Montreal, Canada). Francois

Hi Saniple, more than likely those are beep codes and should give us an idea of what is going on. Typically there is a specific pattern of long and short beeps. If you can identify them for us we can start the troubleshooting process

While booting the system or while booting the players the beep sound occur 5 times for dell inspiron?

Step 1:

If you computer is not booting, there is an issue with one or more of your RAM sticks. It could be they have become dislodged. Turn off your laptop and remove the battery and power supply.

Step 2:

Touch bare metal you don't want static electricity on your hands.

Step 3:

Locate the door on the bottom of the laptop. There will be a door that houses the RAM. Unscrew the door.

Memory upgrade on gx280 beeps on boot but doesn't start. memory beeps 1 234 5 6

When your computer emits beeps when you power on the computer, it's usually means that you have a memory issue. Try re-seating the memory modules and power on the computer. If you have more the one module, insert one at a time and power on the computer. The other issue is if that model supports 4 gig memory.

Acer 5742g Beep at boot up

I have a problem that looks like this one.

At boot up, after the POST, each time the HDD led blinks, the laptop produces a loud "beep", and refuses to boot, as if this phenomenon prevented the HDD to be read.

If I press the power button, it stops beeping. When I release it, it starts beeping again.

If I press F8 at the beginning and then ask for a normal boot, It boots normally. Anyway, in windows, I have some strange activity, like I would continually pressing Alt+Tab. If I press Esc, it stops immediately and then all seems to work fine.

Any clue?

Motherboard issues

If you have an external monitor available, connect your laptop to it and start the machine. It would not start and shutoff if the motherboard was failing. It would not power at all or would turn on a display an error, with some beeps. By plugging into the ext monitor, you can amke sure this is not a video problem and watch it boot, until it gets to the error, which is probably a Windows Blue Screen.
