Black screen and 3 beeps

I need help my dell inspiron 3520 attachment. After that I had windows 10, at the time wherever I turned it there is black screen. I did what I found to help out, but it never really helped and continued. I finally had a moment off the coast to come so I have this chance to restart and clean my data. The next day, when I pressed the power button the laptop not only just but black screen beeps 3 too.

I solved the problem... Well, it's a solution that worked...

First of all, ignore the stupid answer from Microsoft Engineer.

It's a logic problem, and I have a solution! I thought that an update or a function of Windows 10 had done something to the Bios through a reboot of the update or driver. No mater what you do it is the cold death of Pierre. I remembered an old trick on the servers of HP to bring back them to life after a Bios update has failed.

  1. On an other PC Download the last update of the BIOS I think it was A10 (you need as soon as you get the brick working again)
  2. Now it's time to bring him back from the dead - you need to clear the CMOS data that has BEEN CORRUPTED by windows update 10. It is not for the faint hearted however.
  3. The laptop, if you don't know how to ask an adult to the top of the band or the search you tube.
  4. Remove the memory (as an option, but I did it in all cases), laptop PC battery, power supply, HD and finally the CMOS backup battery.
  5. Now in the old days we used to short-circuit the battery terminals to clear any residual capacitor each; but now it seems you can just hold down power button for 1 minute to throw the capacitors.
  6. Resemble the laptop, don't button it just yet as it has a few attempts to get it to stick.
  7. It lights up!, be patient as it takes time to set the BIOS. After a few minutes, you should see the Dell boot loader (if you don't try power cycling a few times. If it starts with 3 beeps and then repeat step 4-7 again.
  8. If she comes back to life let it boot into windows and connect with admin account.
  9. before you do anything for another update of the A10 bios (I had A03). It will force a reload and start to update of the BIOS routine. Follow the instructions...
  10. Let it boot into Windows and do a test charge, it should be OK with Windows 10 and as long you do not did something stupid already trying to solve this should be ok.

Notes: I found the BIOS to fix this problem, after a few false starts. I had the laptop work and on each turning off the BIOS was screed by something W10 wrote. As soon as I updated the BIOS, it was fine. It's a new one on me; but I'm not technical more so don't know how windows starts now from Windows 2000.

Hope this helps, my son is now happy and I was reinstated as omniscient God IT in our House, I told him, he thinks he knows about computers. but I forgot more than he knows. Old school rules :-)

    Everyone everyone please help!

    Hello

    Looks like a hardware malfunction on your laptop, because normally these beep codes mean that it s something wrong with the hardware.

    Is that what you have installed extra RAM? If Yes, remove it and try to boot with original RAM only. Also try to reset the RAM in the slot.
    It work?

    In the worst cases, you must go to an authorized service provider. Technicians can check the laptop and determine the cause of this problem.

  • E3 - 112 black screen and a beep

    I have a problem with my laptop, it stopped and restarts all of a sudden, when I try to power do not show anything and beeps 30 times, I tried to Flash the BIOS with a USB key and the shortcut FN + Esc but does not work, I don't know what to do.

    Sorry for my English, it's so bad.

    You may have a problem with the memory dimm, but to access it, completely say mantling the laptop to access the memory.

    You can try to reset the battery by disconnecting, turn it over, find the small hole in the bottom and push it inside gently with a paper clip until you hear a small click and hold for 5 seconds. This has fixed some of them.

    If it is still under warranty, call Acer Columbia

  • Satellite Pro L450D black screen and will not respond to any keys

    Hello

    My niece has used his Toshiba L450D for almost a year now and he really liked it, who was until last month. She turned on her laptop and when she presses the button of the mouse, the button cracked and he fell into the laptop.

    Now my brother contacted Toshiba and I was told because it is under warranty it might return for repair because it was a common fault. Then he he packed in loads of air bubbles and a box to make sure it was safe.

    A few weeks later he came back repaired but we were all shocked that the laptop was put in a very loose box and you could hear this rattling noise. When we turned on the battery was flat and we had a new boot menu.

    As she installed it Windows 7 laptop would boot directly into Windows 7, but now after the repair of the laptop shows a menu black screen with as follows:

    + Windows 7 +.
    + Recover Windows to Factory Settings [active EMS] +.

    So we started in Windows and everything went well, but now after 5 or 10 or even 20 minutes, laptop displays a black screen and will not respond to keys or mouse movement. There is nothing on the screen its just black.

    I started in SafeMode (which was more difficult with the new menu) and it does the same thing. I even managed to do a virus scan quick who took 3-4 minutes and was clean.

    I would like some advice on what my niece is very angry, and it's difficult to explain what is happening to a child in the primary school.

    Any help would be grateful.

    Hello

    You mean that you are not able to access the BIOS?
    Have you tried to use the FN + F5 key combination to switch to view different devices? Select this check box. Maybe the output display has been switched to external monitor?  :|

    If nothing will not help to remove the battery and disconnect the portable AC.
    Wait for about 1 hour then reconnect both sides and try to turn on the laptop.

  • Satellite - black screen and can't restart with the recovery disk

    I have a black screen and can not restart with the restore disc but it seems to be.

    I find this odd, I can't ask Toshiba direct on my problem, but I have to wait for one nature in the heart of my problem or give me a helping hand

    Hey,.

    You can start Windows or access the BIOS?
    You must post a few more details, otherwise we can t help you :(

    Furthermore, Toshiba is not your first contact, you should ask an authorized service provider. They can help you too! :)

  • Satellite A210 - 11 p - gos black screen and HARD drive does not

    Hello

    My Satellite A210 - 11 p suddenly goes to a black screen and the hard drive stops working. It is always under tension and if I want to restart I have to unplug the unit and remove the battery.

    I thought it was overheating and checked the time and they were really high in the 1980s. I took the fan and cleaned (very dusty) and the basic form of thermal paste. Temperatures plummeted now immediately but I still have the same problem, I updated the graphics driver and watched the temp on GPU (which is fine) but the problem is still happening. I used a number of programs to check for errors on the hard drive and no reported problems. I reloaded Windows 7 but still no joy.
    The problem seems to occur at any time and is not due to the execution of a given program, even just browsing with firefox

    Not too sure what to do and any advice would be welcome.

    Hey Buddy,

    > I reloaded Windows 7 but still no joy.
    Have you ever tried with Toshiba Recovery disk operating system?

    The Toshiba recovery disc there is an image of the settings from the factory with all the drivers and tools. If you install Windows on this disk, you factory back.

    That would mean if you have the same problem after the installation of recovery it s really bad hardware working because you have pretested settings of Toshiba. In this case an authorized service provider can help you make an accurate diagnosis what part is affected.

    "Problems of upgrading Windows 10: black screen after update (new).
    Some users taking advantage of the Windows 10 upgrade are the conclusion that once the completed upgrade their device just gives them a black screen and does not start.
    Microsoft is still working on a fix for this, but it's not a way to avoid it now. Worse, it seems that the problem that happens on multiple PC configurations. For now, we can only suggest using the utilities provided with your backup device and create some external media backup before starting the upgrade in case that happens. If this happens and you live near a Microsoft Store, make an appointment with them to have your device looking if you experience the problem. Some reports (such as those of our comments) indicate that disabling anti-virus programs before performing the upgrade prevents this issue. »

  • After logging on my Satellite Pro only black screen and the cursor are visible

    I have a windows vista pro (PSAASE-00G004GR) satellite after turn on and typing the password for windows vista, the screen goes black but I see that the cursor moves & because it seems that the hard drive also works in th background, but I can't see anything except the mouse cursor , I tried to boor with other options (LAST WORK safe MODE KNOWN FEATURES... etc) but it's still the same only black screen and the cursor...

    I do not prefer the product cause of my data recovery on this subject, any ideas?
    thnx

    Hello

    You have the Satellite Pro A100 PSAAS hmm if you want to save your personal data, I recommend to remove the portable computer HARD drive and try connecting it to another computer via an external USB HDD controller. These cases of 2.5 HARD disk are not expensive and you can buy it in every store of the computer.

    Then you could try to recover the laptop delivered together with the Toshiba Recovery CD.
    But wait; have you tried to connect the laptop to the external display?
    Check it!
    Maybe you could see something on the second screen.

    I think that this procedure could be useful to clarify what s wrong.
    To me this question looks like a small little dysfunction of the FL inverter.
    In this case the installation of the new operating system will help you not to solve this problem.

    But who knows the verification is necessary to find what could be wrong.

    Good luck and bye ;)
