3 beeps after startup chime then nothing

Hello

My iMac intel (2011) was working fine earlier today.  Then I came back to find it on the gray screen with the apple logo.  I tried to restart it, and it became stuck on the gray screen with three loud beeps, after initial startup Gong.

I tried resetting the PRAM, re-sitting my RAM (it's the RAM of origin).  It does not start in safe mode.

I used the built-in Apple hardware test and it has detected an error with the following message:

4MOT/4/40000003: DRIVE HARD-1268

I ran the test again and got the same message error but with 1283 rather than 1268.  Is it a hard drive failure?

Any ideas how to proceed?  Thank you.

The error is specifically for the hard drive fan motor, but as the fan is controlled by a circuit in the HDD it is more than likely a failure of the hard drive. I saw most of the errors 4mot have had a faulty hard drive.

  • Re: Satellite A200 - sound beep after startup

    Hello world

    Recently my laptop has started to be malfuntioning.
    Yesterday, after the start (or when you take it out of fashion 'sleep'), it started beeping.

    Beep, it's 10 minutes in a row, fast.

    I run a stock standard Satellite A200 Windows Vista Help.
    I don't know what to do, and over the ringtone (which lasts about 10-15 minutes) I can't do anything - the CPU (I think) simply cannot handle all of the processes. The ringtone comes from the right side of the laptop and is fake, but certainly a sign of a problem.

    I believe it has something to do with the motherboard, but I don't know how to diagnose this problem, and after hours of research I have not found someone with a similar problem to mine.

    I'm sorry if I posted this in the wrong forum, also the advice to confused and I just can't find a support technique one.

    Help, please

    Hello

    If I understand your problem, it seems that you are not able to enter the BIOS and you are not able to boot the operating system Window.
    You don't see that the home screen Toshiba so is good?

    Hmm, it seems that this sound signal is related to a hardware malfunction
    Then maybe the POST (power on self-test) cannot be spent properly and so you get this alert beep

    What to say; in most cases it mother s associated with, but it is difficult to say which could be exactly wrong

    Maybe you can try this;
    Remove the battery and unplug the power adapter for a few hours
    Wait and after a while connect the two parts again
    Then try again to turn the unit

    If this does not work, then I would recommend asking a technician help in ASP.

    Hello!

    Beep codes mean that there is a faulty hardware component.
    It's not easy to tell what is the reason for this, but in your case I would try to exchange the RAM.

    If it doesn't work you should contact an ASP and ask for help. Technicians can check your laptop and exchanging all the necessary parts.
    On the Toshiba site, you can search the nearest ASP:

  • Time Capsule A1355 no light, no sound? worked this morning now after connecting it, first go-ahead for colid quickly followed by the longest fixed Orange, which turns off and then nothing? He's dead now?

    Time Capsule A1355 no light, no sound? worked this morning now after connecting it, first green light solid, quickly followed by amber is more solid, which turns off and then nothing? I'm not in the airport or if directly connected to the Macbook air utility. It is running the latest firmware, updated 7 days ago and everything was fine until now.

    Thank you

    Any ideas if it can be fixed or if it's as I read elsewhere dead now?

    He died... the fact that the main witness turns off is unusual in this model.

    It is common to the next... A1409 (gen4)

    What happens in the Gen3 is normally a few deaths on the Board... or a bunch of capacitors is low...

    See s/apple-time-capsule-repair/new-issue-with-a1355-gen-3-tc https://sites.google.com/site/lapastenague/a-deconstruction-of-routers-and-modem

    If yours is a very fine introduces Gen3 just before Gen 4, it is possible that the same fix on the Gen 4 could work.

    s/Apple-time-capsule-repair/GEN4-a1409-issues https://sites.google.com/site/lapastenague/a-deconstruction-of-routers-and-modem

    I found early Gen4 may fail as Gen3 but must admit that I am yet to see the Gen3 with welding problems.

    I doubt repair is worth it. The Gen3 is now about 6 years... give or take... This is way beyond the standard lifetime of a TC.

    If you want to play, I'm happy to help you... but I would not spend money on it.

    Try to start Firefox in safe mode. This mode disables all extensions, customizations, hardware acceleration, etc., temporarily for the diagnosis and troubleshooting. If Firefox works fine in Safe Mode, then it is probably a problem with the add-on. Restart Firefox in normal mode, and then type "subject: addons" (without the quotes) in the address bar. Disable your extensions, restart Firefox between each one, until you find the troublemaker.

  • Portege Z835 frozen at startup but now nothing

    I have a Z835, only 4 months but now frozen to screen "starting Windows."

    MS Windows logo was lit in his charming way, but I can't go any further.
    After that, I can only make a hard stop using the power button.
    The laptop worked well for 3 months, but now nothing.
    I have to admit that I didn't create a restore disc, so, to a degree have myself to blame.

    It was purchased in the United States and I live in Mozambique where support because it does not exist.
    I can get to the configuration screens using F2 at startup - but then they seem to not make any difference and I'm not sure what I would do here anyway.

    A COMPUTER store tried to re - install Windows 7 from an external drive, but it would also not go further.

    I would be very happy if someone has an idea!

    Thank you

    Hello

    To me, it seems that the system cannot be started.
    This can have several reasons: it is possible that your HARD drive is faulty or there is something wrong with the preinstalled system.

    So what to do?
    I think you should take your recovery disc (I hope that you have created this disc in the past) and try to reinstall the system.

    If this is NOT possible due to a hardware problem, well in this case you need extra help a service guy

  • Windows XP Home edition does not charge up - screen Toshiba and then nothing

    I opened my computer to stand by earlier. And received an error message such as:

    WINDOWS CANNOT CONTINUE RUNNING BECAUSE THE FILE IS DAMAGED AND UNREADABLE...
    Then he had a countdown until it restarted. After the computer restarted (loads of screen toshiba upwards) then nothing happends. I managed to get into the safe mode start page, but when I select start in safe mode, it does nothing, actually freezes. Seems that the problem is with XP.

    I also tried to "last good configuration" but who also refuses to load.
    I can, however, in the BIOS.

    The black and white background writes startup screen that flashes briefly upward when after that the toshiba screen doesn't even come to the top.

    I have a P100-429 Satilite using XP SP2 (or 3) does not remember.

    Is this a hardware problem? I lose data?

    I am aware that my system was clean and I was using a good anti-virus.

    Please please let me know if you have any suggestions or comments.

    Thanks in advance, Max...

    Hi RisSsky,

    you are in a deep deep sh... t... No. not really...
    Looks like the filestructure hard disk is damaged.
    the hard drive is recognized by the bios? means, it is listed as a device?
    There is a sound of the hard drive? scratch or buzzing or ticking?

    CHKDSK may help, but I would 'safe mode' where you want not to lose data on disk.

    don't panik, we will do things.

    2 options to solve this problem:
    the first and save:
    -Remove the old hdd (you need later)
    -get a new hard drive and make a recovery/installation on the new drive.
    -also get a usb - hdd connector to access old data hdd and copy on the new disk.
    or the 2nd:
    -run chkdsk on your hard drive, maybe you need to do this with a "live-system-on-cd.
    Be aware that if there is a problem it will get worse...
    -start in safe mode

    If you're lucky, the 2nd option will do.
    as said before I'd do it "the safe way.

  • long beeps after installing the video card

    Hello

    I recently bought a HP 500-223w.

    I wanted to install a power supply a video card.

    Here's the problem: everything works fine without the installed video card.

    If I install the video card then at startup it gives me a series of long beeps.

    I turned it off after the long fourth beep assuming they would UST go on and on.

    The power supply is more than enough to power the video card.

    The video card should not be bad, because I just moved it from another system. (system currently does not, bad mobo)

    I was wondering what the infinite long beep on startup?

    Thanks and regards, TJames.

    Hello:

    Product for your PC specifications indicate that it comes with Windows 8.1.

    To install a video card no HP on PC shipped with Windows 8 or 8.1, you must change both settings of the BIOS before installing the card.
