Alienware M14x R2 non stop beeping & cannot start up
Hi guys, I recently have this issue when i try to start up my Alienware m14x r2 laptop it just won't boot up and IT keeps making the non stop beeping sound. I am sure it is not a beeping code. It beeps non stop for every 2 seconds interval and the screen is totally black out. For sure i can't log into my windows and i have to pressed the power button to force it to shut down. I have to wait for a couple of minutes pass than I am only able to boot up my laptop. I called up dell tech support as my laptop is still under warranty after running the diagnostic test they were unable to find out what is the problem and they are sending someone to check on my laptop. I wonder is there anyone ever encounter this issue before?

Hi YC MOOK, whenever the computer beeps, it usually does a secuence of beeps followed by a pause, this secuence will repeat itself until the computer shuts down. You can check the Beep Codes Table to find out if what you heard was one of those secuences. If not, I would recommend you to wait for the on-site technician to check to computer.

Hi, Alienware-Dani L I have checked with the table u sent me. My laptop is having the beep code 1. It beeped once in every 2 seconds continuously until I shut it down. Whether I plugged in the AC or not when I try to power it up it makes no different, the beeping still prevails. Anyway thanks for the reply. Now I can roughly know what is wrong with my laptop.

Hi Dankrause,
As pointed out by YC MOOK above, 1 beep indicates a hardware failure involving the Motherboard. If the system is still in warranty, the Motherboard replacement can be covered. Send me a private message with your Service Tag and contact information if you require further assistance.
