four beeps at startup

I have an old laptop R50e of 3.5 year are no longer under warranty.

When I boot it battery or power, I get four regularly spaced beeps and nothing else. The screen is blank and the fan is running. This happened this morning. I had used last yesterday evening and gracefully close.

Thanks in advance for any help.

zekela, welcome to the forum,

According to the hardware maintenance manual for your R50e, (pdf p.74), four short beeps and an average of the white screen that your motherboard is dead. You find all error descriptions in the manual.

  • Satellite 3000 - X 11: four beeps on startup, white screen

    Hi people,
    A friend gave me a laptop to try and fix. It's a Toshiba Satellite 3000 - X 11.
    Sometimes, it works very well. Starts as usual.
    Sometimes, quite randomly, it will not start. In this case nothing will come on the screen at startup. The fan will kick in. The screen is black and there are four beeps. About 1 per second. It is then. On, but half-dead. You can hear no time to other fan.
    I read the posts on the net who suggest that this is a hardware failure any. I want to know is if there is an easy way to know what hardware has failed. Almost all of the messages I read talked about three beeps. That's four.

    Does no diff if I run it from ca or the battery.

    I don't know what actually started working again.

    I suspect (just a hint) that it tends to stop working after it has been moved (picked up and moved to another office etc.).

    Any suggestion would be appreciated.

    Also, is there a Toshiba diagnostic tool I can download and run that will test the machine on?

    Thank you

    Hey Buddy,

    If the machine is behaving really as you described then the machine has a serious malfunction. I had the same machine, a few years ago
    the same problem.
    So I brought my machine to a service partner and they exchanged a few "PCB´s" as they said.
    These PCB´s are, for example, the motherboard or graphics card.

    If the machine you have is under warranty, you won´t have chances yourself due to defective components.

    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.

  • Equium A200 - continuous beep on startup

    A colleague has spilled water on an A200 Equium and therefore it emits a continuous beep on startup. In fact, you get one beep, immediately followed another. However, if you press F1 it starts OK and all is well. I ran Diagnostics and found nothing wrong.
    The only problem is that one or two of the keys work fine if you lightly touch them.

    Someone has ideas about resetting the sound signal, or what I could do? Thank you.

    Andy

    Hey,.

    I think that it s is not easy to say why this is happening but maybe the water has damaged the keyboard and there so always will be in a hurry I don t he know exactly.

    I think that it is not so useful for you if we discuss it here without test and we don t have made real for your laptop should be checked by a technician of the laptop. Guys can make a detailed diagnosis and order spare parts.

    On the Toshiba site, you can find a list of good luck of suppliers registered!

  • xw4100: HP xw4100: five long beeps at startup

    HP xw4100 is five long beeps at startup. What it means?

    Hello:

    5 beeps = a memory problem any.

    The normal troubleshooting steps involve the removal and reinstallation of each strip of memory.

    If that does not receive the 5 beeps to get out, then remove all of the memory modules but one and test each of them in both to isolate the faulty memory module.

    If this does not work, probably the motherboard has failed.

  • Equium A100-306 beeps at startup

    Hello

    I have an A100-306 which, at startup, beeps for about 30 seconds, then starts up fine and then works perfectly, if I look at the laptop all the ram is recognized and the CPU seems very well, there is no display problem, the only thing that doesn't work is the CD drive doesn t recognize disks but the drive shows on the laptop , but if I remove the CD drive still beeps on startup anyway.

    Any ideas anyone?

    Hello

    The beep code during POST (power on self-test) means that an error has been detected on the motherboard.
    But it of really difficult to say what could be the problem here, you said RAM is recognized correctly hmm try to remove a RAM module and start Notepad using RAM only one in each slot

    All devices are connected to the laptop? If so, unplug everything (all devices) and try again.

  • Satellite A100 beep at startup

    My Satellite A100 still beeps at startup (or when he wakes up after hibernation) as if a key is pressed down, and it will not stop until I press one ' ~ ' key (just below "Esc"). In addition, it begins this character by typing in the field log-in on the start screen.

    Any ideas why this might happen?

    HI Maria,

    It seems to me that if the key is either stuck or is defective. It is possible that the keys are shorted or the rubber under the top key shared so that contacts of does not return to the open"" position.

    I suggest that you only contact authorized Service partner who can check the keyboard.

    Kind regards

  • dx2300, beep at startup

    I bought a computer format used DX2300 microtour. It worked wonderfully to home sellers. We have removed the son/cables and I took it home. When I reassembled everything I have no action on the (dual) monitors, no lghts on the wireless mouse or keyboard. The CPU is a single long beep on startup. The only thing I did for her was clean dust from the front vents and fans. I think that the seller had an external hard drive of 1 t bytes, but other than that, II think it is anyway. Any suggestions?

    Hi sam722,

    Enter the BIOS (F10 at startup of the tap) and verify that the HARD disk and the memory is correctly recognized.

    Reinstall the memory modules and check the connections of the internal cables (especially the HARD drive). Check the AC voltage selection to check that it is set properly. Check the connection of the AC to the PC power cable.

    Something may have jarred loose during the move.

    Try to start with a monitor.

  • Computer continuously beeps at startup but is not on (Compaq Mini CQ10-500)

    Hello, if I was about to do a factory restore on my computer later in the day, but I was unlucky that the computer has stopped working when I turn on it beeps continuously and won't turn on, I chose the option "Start windows normally" and even the possibility that files (to fix the problem don't not let me start) controls/Diagnostics , but when he says "loading files" it begins to beep again and the process stops.

    Someone please help me with this?

    I also read that he "might" be a problem with the RAM, but maybe it was for a different problem or if, but if it's a problem with the RAM, so how can I solve this problem?

    Hello Cosmic_Wolf,

    I understand your beeps at startup.

    You can try reinstalling the RAM.

    Remove the ram and then reinsert it.

    Also do a hard reset.
    Turn off the computer.
    Remove the power cable and battery.
    Hold down the power button for 15 sec while booth energy sources are deleted.

    This should reset the hardware in the computer.

    That you put it on press the F10 key. This will load the BIOS setup utility.
    Press F9 to load the default values.
    Press F10 to save and exit.

    When the computer starts up, check if everything is working.

    I would like to know how everything goes.

  • What does a double beep at startup

    When I try to start the system I get a quick double beep and a message on the screen says "this bios is exclusively for Acer only" Copyright 202-2011 Acer Inc., but I can't enter BIOS using Delete or F10. What should I try to get into the BIOS or get the system started?
    There is no disc in the DVD player and any connected USB disk. That means a double beep? I tried to use P2 mouse and keyboard and USB mouse then KB but still 2 beeps. Most computers have 1 beep at startup upward.

    Well, I gave up trying to solve the MB. Instead, I just bought a new MB of Ebay, it costs $72 but was worth it. I installed the MB easily and it starts right up normally with just 1 quick beep, BIOS opens and everything works except that I had to order a new Acer E-recovery disk to reinstall Windows 7 but it's worth the $19 to have the original software from Acer for this particular PC. I always tell people to keep the system disks because you always in the future need, but most of the people who bring in it PC always loses, lol. Well, for those of you who responded to thank you for the advice.

  • Acer Aspire V3-571, a continuous beep on startup

    Hello

    I have an acer aspire v3 - 571 that keep a beep on startup. I can get into Windows 7 by pressing "ESC".

    However, after I enter Windows and use my browser (mozilla firefox), the Web page is scrolled automatically at the end of the page. Despite manually by pressing the scroll bar and bring the scroll bar to the top of the page, just wedpage keep automatic scrolling at the end of the page.

    Initially, I suspect my wireless mouse was defective, but even after changing for wired operation smile, the problem persists.

    Now I am suspecting if the problem is the built-in trackpad or the built-in keyboard key 'END '. Please en; ighten me on what I need to do to solve the problem above.

    If it is a sound signal and go to page END...

    There are many more to check, take a look at your 'End' button, use a cloth with compressed air to clean up a bit.

  • Acer AX1935-UR20P four beeps

    Hi all.

    My Acer has started to freeze from time to time. I have to hard reboot and when I do I get the usual beep, but she is then followed shortly after by four beeps. He then stops the CPU but the fan continues to run. I then reboot again and it will generally start and run OK for a while (sometimes it didn't the four beeps again and I have to repeat the cycle).

    This is not entirely consistent, but I noticed that it happens more often once the computer has sit in mode 'sleep' for a while. It freezes about 10-20 minutes after waking up and the cycle begins. If the computer is in continuous use, often much less.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello TarlsQtr,

    I did a check of the memory (in fact twice) and the machine froze on the same bank of RAM. He did not read all the mistakes, but could this be indicative of a problem with it?

    Yes, this module of memory is faulty.

    I also pulled a bank or a RAM, boot the machine and it seems to work very well. Before this morning, the issue became much worse. It would give me the beeps of death several times or if I may he begin, freeze within five minutes. Yet once, this seems to indicate that the RAM is the correct question?

    If you removed the memory defective module even, Yes.

    Finally, is roughly interchangeable RAM as long as I make sure I get 4GB (my system has 4 X 2 = 8 GB total) DDR3?

    If you want to replace it, you will find a string under the code of the thumbnail bar. The top ten is the part number. Here are the original parts:
