inspiron N5110 beeps 5 times on start up
My Dell Inspiron N5110 beeps 5 times for 5 times in a row when I boot up my computer. I ran a system scan everything passed except it said to launch window memory test.
Did that and it also said it passed. Can anyone explain these beeps? I did a code search and have not been able to fing anything with 5 beeps, 5 times in a row.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

5 beeps usually mean cmos battery failure. Replace the coin cell battery

Hi, Beeps codes for that model:
1 - BIOS ROM checksum in progress or failure System board failure, covers BIOS corruption or ROM errors.
2 - No Memory (RAM) detected Memory or Memory slot failure
3 - chipset Error (North and South bridge error, DMA/IMR/Timer error) Time-Of-Day Clock test failure
Gate A20 failure
Super I/O chip failure
Keyboard controller test failure
System board failure
4 - Memory read / write failure Memory failure
5 - Real Time Clock (RTC) power fail CMOS battery failure (the CMOS battery on the motherboard needs to be replaced)
6 - Video BIOS test failure Video subsystem failure
7 - CPU Cache test failure Processor failure
8 - LCD LCD failure

Hello!
Can you please tell me how did you solve the problem for I am having the same problem with my laptop. It keeps on beeping with 5 beeps in a row. The beep is louder on the boot screen and then it beeps with sound.
Any idea how can I work this out?
Thanks

3 times is usually a system board failure. 7 times is usually a processor failure. You can try replacing the processor first. If that does not solve your problem then you may need a new motherboard. You may just try re seating your processor and see what results you get.

Try replacing the reserve (CMOS) battery first -- see p. 61 of the service manual below. If that doesn't fix it, the mainboard needs to be replaced.
