Dell inspiron duo 7 beep codes on startup!

Hi, if someone could help me would be great! I get this code 7beep in the mother board, whenever I try to start my inspiron duo 1090, nothing on the screen just a code 7 beep not as 3-2-2 or 3-4 or something is a 1-1-1-1-1-1-1. I saw on the net that this is common and is just a false alarm from the motherboard, and that dell support told ppl for just the FN key when starting and that circumvents the P.O.S.T. and boots to nothing once again, some say ppl just left they are computer he tried like 2 weeks later and started as usual. I tried the FN button to work around the P.O.S.T. but nothing happened and my Duet is out of warranty and I don't want to pay for a false code or something please someone help me =)

I found an American site showing how to solve this problem in half an hour. At first I thought is was crazy. I was desperate, so I tried.

With the laptop on and beep far wrap it up tightly in a towel and place under the duvet. Leave it for 1/2 hour, then roll out and turn off. Let cool and then turn it on. I write on a computer laptop dell which had 7 beeps and the above treatment.

It works!

  • Dell Inspiron N5010 8 beeps on start up

    Hello

    I have a Dell Inspiron N5010 and it fell out of my bed, since, then it stopped working. Whenever I try turn it on it beeps 8 times in the series.

    I went through various discussions in dell community in this regard and have done the following tests.

    Test of LCD (D + market) : this test runs fine, able to see the colors strong and when restarted, it gives again 8 beeps

    FN + market : it does not work. I have seen in discussions, this should run a diagnostic test. But in my case, nothing happens, 8 beeps continues.

    A few posts proposed to remove the CMOS battery for a while and place it again. Who did too much work.

    Reconnect the cable to the LCD screen and try, problem still exists.

    Can anyone suggest me what might have gone wrong?

    Thanks in advance.

    Then to do is replace the video cable - if this does not resolve the problem, it's probably that the motherboard has been damaged in the fall.

  • Need driver Windows 7 64 bit for axes accelerometer ST microelectronics 3 on Dell Inspiron Mini Duo 1090

    Someone at - it a way to correct the ST Microelectronics 3-axis accelerometer (motion detector) which will not work because I upgraded from 32-bit to 64-bit Windows 7? Given that the Intel Atom N550 is only dual core too slow, I am trying to extend the useful life of the convertible tablet with 4 GB of RAM and 64 bit version will use. In addition, I started by trying to upgrade to Windows 8 because there is an app I want to who does not work on Windows 7. Not only do you get the accelerometer fail to start, but the updates of Windows 8 removed my OS, so I had to restore Windows 7 32 bit from a backup. Then I tried to install Windows technical preview 10 because the app even says it will work with that, but the installation kept hanging up to 30%, so I gave up and tried Windows 7 64 bit. Still, no functional accelerometer, but at least updates all worked (so far, including sp1). Given that I intend to upgrade to 64-bit Windows 10 as soon as they release it (July according to technical support), I hope this driver setting.

    In the Dell support forums, message by Carnino April 7, 2011 offers workaround using Microsoft .net SDK. Since it does not say which version has the CorFlags app, I have installed .net frameworks on 4 and Visual Studio 2010 upwards. At the Windows command prompt, I get errors saying that CorFlags was not a recognized command. I asked for help on the Dell forum even and installed the CorFlags there app. I saw flash by in the command line window, so he must have installed, but it is not yet a recognized order when I try to run it at the command prompt.

    Then I tried Windows SDK 7.1 commands prompt, which also tells me "CorFlags.exe is not recognized as a command internal or external, an executable program or batch file." Now what? Is not a developer, I don't know if I have installed all the necessary tools for .net framework programs work, and I have no idea how to use the Visual Studio or if a version is mess up another version. Now, I have installed the Windows Driver Kit for Windows 8.1 because it says it does too many drivers for Windows 7, but it's an another shot in the dark.

    I can use the orientation of the laptop computer screen if necessary when I flip the screen for Tablet of orientation, but it is annoying, especially for reading and editing of books while I walk, the main use for which I bought this Duo.

    No, I can't afford to buy a Tablet convertible new again, especially rare with a decent size hard disk. I don't trust books of my clients to cloud storage. Please help if you can. Thank you.

    Try this driver for Windows 7 64-bit:

    Downgraded from Vista to XP Pro (V. 2002) on my Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop.  Have installed Service Pack 3.

    Audio will not play (I get beeps of warning system but that's all, there isn't a problem with the hardware).

    In Device Manager, there is a yellow exclamation by the "IDT High Definition Audio Codec" under sound, video and game controllers.

    Dxdiag shows NO device installed.

    NO device does appear as installed anywhere.

    I tried the updated drivers, did NOT work.  Get the error code 10.

    Automated fix - it doesn't include troubleshooting for audio.

    Does anyone have a solution?

  • Inspiron N5110 - 8 beeps at startup

    I have a Dell Inspiron N5110 that when turned on beeps 8 times.

    The LCD lights up and the power light but no screen startup Dell or something. Only 8 beeps over and over and over until I turn it off.

    I tried to boot the laptop with and without the battery, with a different power converter, I tried to put back the RAM sticks and none of it works.

    I tried to boot into Diagnostics with F12, but the departure of beeps before I had the chance.

    Anyone has ideas or know what 8 beeps means on this laptop model?

    Hi IntecIT,

    The Dell Inspiron N5110 might emit a series of beeps at startup if the LCD monitor cannot display errors or problems. The beeps 8 on this model indicates an LCD failure. However, I suggest you try to plug a well known external monitor and check if it works (if available).

    Do not respond with your findings.

  • Inspiron 3520 - 7 beeps at startup

    Inspiron 3520 - just out of warranty. Black screen on startup, with 7 beeps, repeated.

    I understand that that beep code means a mother card/CPU error - a reinstallation of the CPU worked for those who have this error or do not need to do?

    Inspiron 3520 - just out of warranty. Black screen on startup, with 7 beeps, repeated.

    I understand that that beep code means a mother card/CPU error - a reinstallation of the CPU worked for those who have this error or do not need to do?

    No, reinstalling the CPU does not work because the problem is to solder on the motherboard and requires reinvest the solder on the affected chip or replace the motherboard, that will cost more than a 3520 off-warranty is worth it.

    This is caused by a manufacturing defect, so I think you have some recourse under the Sale of Goods Act, if you are in the United Kingdom, even if it is out of warranty.

    maheisel

    Four "beeps", could indicate a memory problem, if you are comfortable working inside the computer, try to open the case, remove and reinstall all memory modules and see if that makes a difference.

    If you not comfortable working with the removal and the reinstallation of the components, then I suggest that you take the Inspiron 530 to a repairman.

    Is the power button LED, blue constant or flashing blue?

    Every change made to the 530 recently?

    A few weeks ago, my laptop was working fine but the next day, my laptop wouldn't pass the Dell logo when turned on. I ran diagnostics on it and gave me the following results:

    Test results: Fail

    Error code: 2000-01 42

    I'd appreciate it if someone could tell me exactly the problem with the HARD drive, I need to replace, or there may be a wiring problem?

    Thank you.

    Zaharaq

    Error code 2000-0142 indicates a failing hard drive / has failed, you can try to remove and reinstall the hard drive, and then re-run the diagnostic tests and see if you receive the same error.

    If the same error is received, the hard drive has failed and you need to replace it, followed by reinstalling windows, then loading the drivers and applications.
