X51 beeping on start-up
My X51 (although old) has been working perfectly since I bought it.
Today on turning the machine on, It seems to beep-pause-beep-pause endlessly with a black screen. I have tried a few times since and once I got a code of 5 beeps but only the once.
I have never upgraded parts nor opened the case. Did the usual googling of the problem and its a mixed bag, so I thought I'd ask the question on here.
Any ideas what is wrong? Thanks in advance

could be the CMOS Battery failing.
try following:
remove all cables and battery.
disconnect the Coin Cell Battery.
hold the Power On button for a minute.
put everything back together.
if it doesn't help try to replace the Coin Cell Battery.
