My recently purchased computer beeps about every two minutes. This is probably an easy fix but nothing is flashing or popping up at me. How can I get rid of this annoying beep?

Could be a lost boot sector. Download Testdisk and use it to recreate the boot sector.

Actually, the ultra high voltage 'charger' for the florecence (a.k.a. your back light)has gone Kaput...

If your lucky, someone will have a monitor like yours that has the back light come on, but no picture (should get a similar blinking light situation, but a different code. Like... blink, hold, blink blink, hold, blink). In this situation (if your comfortable doing it) you can swipe the exciter from that monitor and put it in your monitor. Obviously this is a more economical way of repairing the monitor.

Just to be on the safe side (as the repair is blindingly easy. 6 screws, pop out, pop back in) DON'T touch any of the back side components. You WILL shock the supreme **** out of yourself. Between the heavy duty capacitors and the ultra high gain transformers on those things you could jump start a bus. So don't be fooled... those little transformers pack a mean sting.

Hope this helps...

Definitely, in all probability a heating problem. Try cleaning out your computer, thou make sure to not use anything that is conductive inside the computer.

If you recently purchased it, just put it back in the box and take it back to the store for a replacement. I wouldn't bother tryng to fix it if you can get a brand new one that works the way it's supposed to.

I think that when your "Breaker" "Tripped" the resultant "Power Spike" probably "Spiked" your tablet. This is a very common event. possibly fixable. probably just the Power Supply. but with "Spikes" the damage done can be catastrophic, as we call it.

I have just recently experienced this same issue. My fix was easy. I removed the video card. removed the heat sync. Using a heat gun about 2" away from the backside of the video chip (bga) for about 30 seconds. Then immediately with a doubled up piece of cardboard, press down on the chip for 30 seconds. Let cool, then reassemble. I did this a month ago and still going.

Error 99 means lens communication error.
Try to clean the contacts on both sides.
and re-install lens

Could be "detergent drawer open". Try opening and closing the door shut. There is a magnet there which shows that the door is closed or open. Use front loading washing powders preferably.

If you have had a lightning storm or power surge it may have fried the electronics panel. That is what happened to mine. Once it is fixed you should put a surge suppressor on it that is rated for major appliances.
