T61 Beep Codes at the STATION

Hello all,.

I have a T61 7662 - CTO with 4 GB of RAM, 100GB HDD, Vista Ultimate x 64, 128 MB NVIDIA Quadro graphics card.

At the STATION, I get a beep code long, two short beeps.

After a very unproductive call with IBM/Lenovo support I was told to run PC Doctor diagnostic tool that says my memory, motherboard and video card is fine.

Two months ago, the motherboard has been replaced and the system worked very well. This problem started on Tuesday and the first time it occurred a BSOD appeared during its connection and unfortunately I couldn't take the error early enough before the memory dump.

Any thoughts on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

OK, the solution to this problem proves to be the Intel Turbo Memory. It is damaged and must be replaced. It should be tomorrow, but for the moment the beep codes went with removed turbo memory.

  • XPS17 L702X 4 beep code when the 2nd module of RAM is installed

    Hello

    It started as a month ago, when I tried to boot my laptop but instead, I was getting this code 4 beep (RAM read/write failure). What I did then was remove/switching modules memory until I found one of them did not (the one on the DIMM A slot). So, I order the new RAM, install it and laptop works very well for about two weeks.

    Just today, I tried to start and got the 4 beep code again. Same old same old: remove a module, test, replace the module, test... but this time, whenever I fill the slot DIMM A laptop does not (4 beep code of course). Can I use any of my RAM sticks DIMM B and the computer works perfectly, which means that my memory sticks are bad.

    I would be grateful all the ideas,

    Thank you

    FYI, I have 3 modules of 4 GB of RAM, 2 of them are the Corsair RAM I bought recently and the other came originally with the laptop (Hynix)

    Sounds like a memory wrong - turned support, you will need to replace the motherboard.

  • Question about BIOS beep codes

    Difficulty locating the BIOS beep codes... can anyone help? I get 3-3-1...

    Hello

    I found a list of some BIOS beep codes but to be honest I m do not know if this can help you:
    [BIOS beep codes: http://www.computerhope.com/beep.htm]
    ]
    The problem is that the BIOS beep codes are different and not all BIOS provides the meaning of the code.

    In my opinion only the authorized service provider can help you know what this code means.

    Why such a code beep appear?
    Well, the BIOS beep code if the POST (Power On Self Test) fails.
    Most of the Power On Self Test impossible to successfully because of the failure of hardware; for example, motherboard problem.

    Best regards

  • P50/P70 BIOS beep codes

    Does anyone have the BIOS beep codes for the P50/P70 Thinkpads? Almost everytime I start mine beeps at me.

    3 short beeps, pause, 1 beep, pause, 1 beep, pause, 3 short beeps.

    I called tech support and they wanted me to uninstall the RAM I added after I got the system, or they want to send me the computer to replace the RAM and the system. I do not think that those who are the problem, however. After he gets a beep, it loads well every time. Lenovo solutions Centre zero errors with my system. No problem with processor, chipset and memory. Windows recognizes all 32GB of my RAM when it loads as well.

    Any ideas? I'm disinclined to send my system back because otherwise it usually seems to work OK.

    A 3-1-1-3 beep code heard at the start after change of memory reserved Thunderbolt from 1 GB to 2 GB in the Setup of the BIOS indicates a lack of PCI memory resources. After the beep, BIOS allows you to adjust the resource memory PCI allocated to love at first sight, then automatically restarts the system.

    Please note that Lenovo recommends running a 64-bit instead of 32-bit Windows operating system when you use the Thunderbolt of 2 GB of memory reserved parameter.

    In the setting of several screens or other devices to the Garland of Thunderbolt, Lenovo recommends the use of the resource of memory of 2 GB to the BIOS Setup and deal with the 3-1-1-3 model beep to restart the computer after changing the configuration of the BIOS as successful confirmation of change the BIOS POST.

    When you attach a monitor or a couple of other devices, Lenovo recommends the use of the resource of memory of 1 GB in BIOS Setup.

    Computer beep codes

    If an error occurs during the start cannot be shown on the screen, the computer may emit a beep code that identifies the problem. The beep code is a combination of sounds: for example, one beep, followed by a second, and a burst of three beeps (code 1-1-3) means that the computer could not read the data in NVRAM memory.

    If a beep code is emitted, write it down on a copy of the Diagnostics Checklist , and search for it in the following table.

  • Beep codes for T500: what do the beeps mean?

    I regularly get the following beep sequence when I restart my T500:

    beep, beep, beep - beep, beep, beep beep-

    The beeps are relatively short. After the beeps, the system hangs just quietly. It does not continue the boot process, but it remains lit. I have to force a stop down and start to continue.

    Anyone can shed light on these beep codes?

    Thank you!

    Very reassuring (other people know the problem and serious no effect). I've had so many other problems with switchable graphics, I thought it was bound.

    I'll just ignore for now.

  • T60 will not boot receive the beep code 1-3-4-3 any suggestions on what this might be?

    Hi guys,.

    My T60, does not start all of a sudden. I can't access the BIOS. I received the following beep sequence: 1-3-4-3.

    I looked around and got as a message for phoenix BIOS beep code 'Test 512 K base memory '. Anyone has an explanation, and I should do or change?

    Thanks a lot for your support!

    Antoine

    I don't have one of them, but if it's a mistake of memory, the best way to test is to substitute known good memory. If you have two SODIMM modules installed, remove them and install one at the time and the test.

    Sometimes remove and reset of memory are sufficient to solve the problem.

    If this does not help, a good 'generic' method that I use on all laptops with a no boot situation is to remove all the drives and cards, then see if it will boot to the BIOS, or post at all. I've seen poor readers force a system not to post, so remove everything that is not required will be an easy way to identify the cause. Usually, if it will not always display, you'll have a system board failure.

  • Z240 SFF Workstation: Z240 SFF beep Code 3.3 (graphics)

    Greetings,

    We bought the Dells years but has recently begun to give HP a glance. The first unit I received just stopped working during testing of deployment and gives me 3 long beeps (red LED) with 3 short beeps (white LED). According to the manual, this translates, "the on-board controller exceeded waiting for BIOS return the initialization of graphics. I couldn't find the specific troubleshooting steps for this error I did what follows based on the tests that I did:

    -Cleared CMOS

    The system only would not start after that application of the BIOS settings using the Configuration BIOS HP utility so maybe something went wrong there. That said, I applied the settings with this tool several times before on the same system without problem, but thought it was worth a start. Here is my config file:

    BIOSConfig 1.0
    Legacy startup options
    Disable
    * Select
    Legacy boot order
    HDD:USB:1
    CDROM:SATA:1
    HDD:SATA:1
    NETWORK: SHIPPED: 1
    UEFI boot options
    * Disable
    Enable
    Configure legacy support and secure start
    * Legacy Support enable and Secure Boot Disable
    Disable legacy support and Secure Boot Enable
    Disable legacy support and Secure Boot Disable

    -Exchanged cards (Nvidia Quado K420) video with a known good card. We bought two units to test if I had an identical system to Exchange.

    -Shared memory.

    -Reinstall any cables.

    Any ideas on what I should try before you send it again?

    Last update 08/08: another IT unit in our Organization has reported the same beep code with one of the Z240s they just bought. For them, the BIOS has refused to save all the settings and could not start later.

    Last update 08/09:

    Another machine died today. Same case, technicians were simply trying to configure the BIOS settings. Another detail is that these have been shipped with BIOS version 01.24. I recommend our technicians that they update to version 01.27 for now, but the notes do not mention a specific fix for what we see. I hope someone from HP can jump in here soon...

    Product no.: L8T14AV

    For all those who could fall on this thread... I managed to reproduce the problem by going to Configuration of Boot Secure and uncheck the box 'Key activate MS UEFI CA'. After talking with the help of HP, it was determined that we should not be in contact with this option at all. This option is intended for graphics cards configured for backup device from Microsoft.

    In addition, there is a bug in the BIOS version 01.24 which prevents the Clear CMOS button to work correctly, so there is no recourse for a person who commits the mistake of setting the option above. HP will provide an update in revision 01.28 to stop people from shooting itself in the foot. It is recommended to update the systems at 01.27 for now.

    Finally, we do not have an answer to what happened to systems that could not save changes to BIOS and subsequently on faileed to start. I will update this thread if it becomes something more than an anomaly.

    Thanks in advance
    Blakblayd

    Hello

    In most cases the BIOS beeps are the result of the problem of the motherboard.
    It is hard to say what role could be affected on the motherboard.
    But here is the page that provides some information on the BIOS beep codes:
    http://www.computerhope.com/beep.htm

    You don't have many options; what you can do is to test/remove the RAM.
    Maybe that RAM is defective otherwise it mother associated s pass and in this case the motherboard needs to be replaced.

    I can't find out what BIOS and the significance of these beeps.

    Can someone help me?
    Thank you
    Duditz

    As far as I know, it's an Insyde BIOS on the Tecra S1.
    But I thought you wanted to contact the Toshiba service provider?
    Believe me, the BIOS beep code can be read by a technician with a lot more experience as a common user.
    Eventually, you'll be able to read but you don t know what the code means.
    The meaning of the code differs from BIOS and laptop model
    I don t see other than by contacting the guys services

    FatherDal wrote: Dear Hanspuppa, thank you very much for your help.  Actions suggested by your response seems to have solved my problem.

    Hello FatherDal, it's really good news. If you have determined that your system has at least one memory defective Strip, and you want to replace the defective module, you can consider replacing all the memory modules and purchase of some additional memory that can increase the performance of your system.

    Here is the link to the specifications for your system. It shows that your system shipped with 2 GB of memory system.

    It also shows the system supports up to 4 GB of memory system and your system shipped with Vista x 86 (32 bit).

    All 32-bit operating systems can only recognize up to 3.25 GB to 3.5 GB of memory. The x 64 bit version can recognize 4 GBs whole memory system.

    I would say that the upgrade of your system memory to 4 GB into 4 X 1 GB modules. Even if your current operating system would recognize the 4 GBs set of system memory, you should see a performance increase with additional memory.

    Here is the memory critical link where you can buy compatible memory for your Compaq system.
