I am getting continues beep sound when I turn on my laptop
I am getting continues beep sound when I turn on my laptop. It says press F2 or F12After pressing F2 or F12, Nothing happens. Any advice?
I think you are getting a beep sound (error) when you turn on the laptop because of a defective keyboard. Most likely a key or keys got stuck causing the laptop to make a beep error. You can try to disconnect the keyboard from the system board and turn on the laptop without the keyboard connected. If the laptop will boots fine, then the keyboard is your problem.

hi,
I have a Dell Inspiron E1505.got it in 2006.
Recently i downloaded Skype 4.0 and that was it!!!
it was fine for 2 hrs after until i started sharing my screen with my family(using screen share feature).the computer gave a long beep and no key would work.
my mozilla 3.5.2 browser also crashed with it.
i was not able to play any songs from my laptop(i tried playing songs in real player,musicmatch jukebox and windows media player).Also I tried to play songs online but computer gave a long beep which wouldn’t go until i pressed hard on the power button.
i tried rebooting,system restore,running it in safe mode and using “last known good configuration”.nothing worked.
i called up my anti-virus software company.they found nothing wrong.
i uninstalled skype and mozilla in desperation.
also my google chrome browser started freezing after 5mins of browsing becoz of this and laptop gives a long….. beep.
the only browser that is able to handle emails is my old IE version 6.but this browser too can’t play videos/songs from youtube or similar sites for more than 5mins.i hear the sound clearly but after 5mins screen freezes and it’s back to the same problem.
also computer is not going in standby/hibernate after this problem started and freezes if i keep it on unused for 20 mins.
what could be wrong with my laptop?
do i need to format it?do i need any BIOS updates?
pls help
thanks to all who can suggest some fix.

That’s a really annoying sound! I made it mute using this trick.
