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.
Do you need spare parts for your laptop? Search here by the laptop model and part description.

Hi, here’s an update to the problem I’ve just mentioned – I got mad with the laptop this morning, and removed the battery. I also took out the RAM modules and cleaned the edge connectors with a rubber. The laptop worked perfectly for two or three start ups and then the problem returned. Any ideas anybody?

Hi, I have a Pavilion dv6000 and when I turn it on I get continuous beeping (not a bios code -just continuous) until I press a few keys. I’ve replaced the keyboard and the same thing. The beeping goes away in Vista (but can’t be heard even if it’s there ‘cos it’s muted) but the icons flash like mad, just like a stuck key and again pressing a key a couple of times makes it go away. Would you have any ideas? I heard that these laptops are bad news, but can’t afford to repair or replace it. Help!

I have a Dell Inspiron 5100 Laptop, and its running a Pheonix Bios. What happens is it does a continuous beeping sound, I looked up what I can and thanks to Laptop Freak’s Post on the Bios Beeping list, I figured out that theres a keyboard malfunction, Some keys are getting stuck and others don’t work at all. How can i fix this? There are no exeternal Mouse/Keyboard connections

I have a Dell D830. I get random “squeals” beeps periodically from my laptop like others above. We’ve replaced all the moving parts and the keyboard twice. It beeps more often when it is docked – but I still can’t find a pattern.
I ran a diagnostic and couldn’t find any errors. When then the Tech guys took it for a week they said they didn’t hear it “squeal”/beep at all.
It is ANNOYING!!!!!!!!! Help!!

I have a toshiba a135, just like what eric posted above, continuous beep on boot with blank screen and a blinking cursor on the upper left corner of the monitor, when I press any key, it will continue to load the os. From there, no problem whatsoever. I have updated the bios, checked the rams, and reinstalled the OS twice, but it still has the same problem. Help!!!!

I’ve had my Compaq Presario V50000 for almost two years now, and only in the past two weeks have been experiencing this problem. Sporadically, so not every time, when booting up, I hear two fairly short beeps, followed by a black screen which tells me to press F1 or F10. I can continue to boot up after this, (by pressing F1 I think!) but then I cannot connect to the Internet using wireless. I can connect using a cable okay, but not via my wireless connection.
Like I say, doesn’t happen every time, sometimes I can happily use wireless with no problems. But then the next day I will get the two beeps, and no wireless connection.
Checked Device Manager after getting the two beeps, and there appears to be some problem (yellow triangle) with the Broadcom Network Adapter – message indicates that there is a conflict, code 10? I have tried uninstalling and then reinstalling the Device, and have also updated the driver using Broadcom website, but problem still persists.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

I have an HP ze1230. When I turn it on it gives 4 beeps, stops, then repeats these 4 cmos beeps again and again. Nothing appears on the screen. System timer malfunction? what does that imply?

So I have this HP ZE 4000 series laptop, I’ve had it for about four years and last year I started getting the Blue screen of death everytime I turned it on. After a couple restarts it went completely black and now you just get a clicking noise that sounds as though it is coming from the CD tray. The tray won’t open unless I use a straightened paper clip in the release. The sound goes away, but starts again as soon as it is closed. But the computer never boots up and just clicks forever with a blank screen. If I can’t fix it I’m gonna just purchase a new one but I’m not giving up on it yet. Any suggestions?

i am using a sony vaio laptop
i have the same problem,
on start up it beeps continuously ,
i’ve pushed escape and it has worked,
but on log in screen
it will type 111111111111111111111111111 etc.. continuously.
whenever i use the arrow keys or home pagedown and page up the number one would start going,
and when i try to use the 1 key it doesnt work.
i would have to press number lock and use the one on letter keys, every number works except the 1/!
i dont think its stuck or anything, never had any spills
sometimes once in a blue moon it would work and
on boot it wouldnt beep and the i could use the
1/!.

Army,
Maybe the hard drive is dieing? You can test the hard drive with Hitachi’s drive fitness utility (Link in Useful Links). If the hard drive fails the test you’ll have to replace it.
By the way, if you keep any important data on the hard drive I would recommend backing it up. If there is something wrong with the hard drive, it might fail any time.

Hi,
I have an Acer 1700
Recently the fan broke, and I had it taken out.
I use a big fan to cool the laptop down.
Recently, there has been a Beeping sound, accompanied by my Hard Drive light flashing. The sound is not from the speakers.
When it starts beeping, the whole laptop freezes up. Sometimes it stops staying frozen and it’s normal again.
If the beeping continues, and it stays frozen, usually after 3 minutes a blue screen appears with some message.
If I try to re-turn the laptop on again after the 3 minute frozen incident, it just keeps in beeping, keeping the Blue Acer splash page to a stand still.
What is wrong? How can i fix this?
Thank you!!

screen, – its blank, with no picture…

Karen,
This sounds like a problem with the keyboard and most likely it has been damaged and has to be replaced.
You are right, in order to narrow down the problem, you’ll have to unplug the laptop keyboard from the motherboard and test the laptop with an external keyboard. If the laptop works fine with the external keyboard, most likely the rest of the laptop is fine and water didn’t damage the motherboard.
Anyways, here are instructions for taking apart a Toshiba Satellite A45 laptop. Follow steps 8-12 to remove the keyboard. Be careful with the keyboard cable connector on the motherboard.

Sindhu,
Maybe you have a faulty fan and it has to be replaced?

HELP please? I have a Toshiba Satellite A45. A couple days ago, my cat knocked over a glass of water next to my laptop and some water got on (and maybe into) the touch pad (I wasn’t here…my daughter relayed the incident to me). The touch pad was dried off and the computer was working fine. The next day, I was getting constant “““““““`” while trying to type or search. My “`” key is next to my space bar, which of course is right above the touch pad.
I shut down the computer and started pressing on the keys in case anything was stuck. I rebooted and still had the ““““““” problem. I shut it down and went to work.
I came home and turned it on. I now have a CONSTANT BEEPING, blank screen and a blinking power light. My battery and power cord light are on, not blinking.
I’m assuming after reading all of the above posts that I need to disconnect the keyboard and connect an external keyboard to see if it’s the keyboard or worse.
My question is: how do I disconnect the keyboard? Does the entire laptop need to me dismantled?
Thanks much!
Karen
