ts 250 what make ? post a reply with relevant details

1 long, 1 short beepSystem board problem When your computer boots up, the Basic Input-Output System (BIOS) performs an all-systems Power On Self-Test (POST).
The POST tests your computer's most important components, including the motherboard itself, the system's memory and the video card.
If the computer deviates from its standard beep, it may indicate a very serious problem with your computer, or it may simply indicate that you need to replace a system fan or a memory stick. BIOS beep codes vary according to manufacturer.

Start your computer.
Pay attention to the number of beeps and the length of the beeps.
There are short and long beeps.
Write down your observations.
Write down the BIOS type if this information is on your screen.
Consult your computer documentation if you don't know what type of motherboard you have.
Visit your computer manufacturer's support website for your computer model if you purchased a pre-built machine.


Look up your BIOS manufacturer (AMI, Award and Phoenix, for example) at a BIOS beep code website such as 5StarSupport, PC Hell or PC Guide (see Below).
Match the your computer's beep code with the beep code listing for your BIOS manufacturer.

Step 1:
The beeps are post during post the very first work is done by the ram, all the memory in the ram is first transferred to the hard disk, and remains 1 short beep : Normal POST - system is ok
2 short beeps : POST Error - error code shown on screen

No beep : Power supply or system board problem
Continuous beep: Power supply, system board, or keyboard problem

Repeating short beeps: Power supply or system board problem

1 long, 1 short beep : System board problem
1 long, 2 short beeps: Display adapter problem (MDA, CGA)
1 long, 3 short beeps: Enhanced Graphics Adapter (EGA)
3 long beeps : keyboard card http://www.pchell.com/hardware/beepcodes.shtml

Yes, Michael Thomas is right. This is a POST (power-on self-test) that takes place at the beginning when you boot your computer. I think this is because the BIOS chip that came with the replaced motherboard. Take care how many beeps are and if them are short or long. Who is the BIOS manufacturer? Find the error code then go here: http://www.computerhope.com/beep.htm and determine the problem. Or search google for "post beep codes" .

what is happening is the Power On Self Test or POST test is failing. The beeping is the error code for your Motherboard.
The actual number of beeps and the length of the beeps are important, as it the manufacturer of your motherboard.
If it is a single long beep then it is either the keyboard is stuck (something pressed on one of the keys or a key depressed or a hardware failure - most likely a hardware failure and usually the power system or the motherboard. If it is not the keyboard your machine is beyond economical repair.
A common fault is the memory chips but you would normally have erratic behaviour of the machine before that happens. However, it is worth trying a replacement memory dimm if you can borrow one.
Assuming you are in the UK you are unlikely to get anyone to check the machine for less then £35.00 for a POST Error.
sorry I cannot give you better news.

Several different hardware failures can cause this type of issue. The first step that should be taken is to verify that there are no lose or disconnected wires coming from or going to the computer. If when starting the PC your getting no power than there is an issue with the power supply. If you are getting power to the PC than you should listen for the beep code on start up. 1 beep after starting the computer indicates that the power on self test (Also known as the POST) has completed with out issue. When getting any other type of beep code you should research the meaning of the code. Beep codes change from company to company. The best way to identify the meaning of a beep code is to type the manufacture, model and number of beeps into Google. Another possible issue is that your hard drive is corrupt. If this is the case than your computer will pass the power on self test(POST) but will have a message like MBR not found or one of many other errors. If you are getting an error than it is also a good idea to research the error to determine the proper fix. If the PC seems to boot correctly but there is no image on the screen than the issue may be a result of a bad video card. In that case the video card will need to be replaced.

I hope that information above has helped is some way.

I'm sure you have tried most of these steps but I'm going to list them any way so we have a complete picture of the trouble shooting process.

On startup beep how many beep do you hear?


1 short beep
Normal POST - system is ok 2 short beeps POST Error - error code shown on screen No beep Power supply or system board problem Continuous beep Power supply, system board, or keyboard problem Repeating short beeps Power supply or system board problem 1 long, 1 short beep System board problem 1 long, 2 short beeps Display adapter problem (MDA, CGA) 1 long, 3 short beeps Enhanced Graphics Adapter (EGA) 3 long beeps 3270 keyboard card

Hope it Help you out ^_^

This is an added extra and basically a new problem. Mine is brand new. I hold the left button down, and get the first beep, then hold the right button down, and it beeps multiple times, and stayes at 88. It took about 15-20 minutes of trying this before we got the 00. I think the lock mechanism is broken, as I can't get it locked either at the end, so I just let the system lock itself after 1 minute. We unplugged it and tried again, and still after multple time eventually got it to go to 00. I take it that this isn't normal.
