Hi Gary,
I’d suggest that you follow the steps mentioned below and check if the system switches ON.
If the system is not switching ON please connect the external monitor and check if the system is switching ON then I would suggest that you run the diagnostics on the computer by following the steps mentioned below and check if there is any issue with the hardware on your system.
Since the Dell Inspiron 15 laptop computer emits a series of beeps during start-up if the LCD cannot display errors or problems. Please let me know the number of beeps you are receiving during startup as
Let us know your findings.

I tried the above and findings are
first suggestion of steps 1-5 - Laptop did not boot , same area of beeping
there is an unlimited number of beeps it does not stop.
The only way to remove power and battery and try again
After several failed bot attempts the laptop will start (usually about 7 attempts)
When I managed to boot I entered one time boot run diagnostics and no errors found, on reboot the laptop beeped again, after several attempts it booted.
Laptop does not have VGA port but connected with HDMI lead and screen connected - did not boot same error beep every approx. 1 second for unlimited amount of time
Laptop is less than 1 year old
Thanks
Gary

Hi Gary,
I would Suggest you please send me a private message with the computer's service tag, Name registered during the system purchase.
Also, I would suggest you observe the Beep patter and let us know how many number of Beeps, For example If it is : Beep-Beep-Beep Pause Beep-Beep-Beep this is 3 Beeps.
Restarting the system several times and observing this pattern should be helpful for you to identify the Beep pattern.
To send a private message, click on my name and select start conversation.

Hi Gary and Farooq,
I have similar problem:
my Dell Inspiron 15R 5520 is beeping continiously in every 2-3 seconds. I have a blank screen.
Some info:
This is the second time when it did this.
For the first time my laptop battery fully discharged. After several unsuccessfully attempts, somehow I could start it. (Probably also with pressing Esc/F8/F12/Delete, because I pressed all special keys on the keyboard at startup hoping to get lucky.) After it my op.system started normally and I didn't experienced any other issues.. till now.
Second time I intentionally switched off my computer and after 1.5 days later when I switch on it I experienced the problem again.
I restarted it several times, but no luck. Finally pressing special characters (I think Delete could be the solution, but I pressed Esc, F8 and F12 also) I managed to make it work.
Generally I don't switch off my computer. It had runned about 2 weeks without any problem between these two events.
So it seems this problem occures after I turn my computer off. (I check my battery status, Ubuntu says it is fully charged and about 85.9% is its capacity.)
Gary and Farooq, did you manage to solve your issue?
Thanks in advance.
BR, Erno

hi
yes I solved my issue - I went out and bought a HP.
Dell refused to honor the warranty. Despite having the original purchase receipt Dell insisted that the warrant started from when my laptop was shipped from the factory to the hypermarket I bought it from, the fact it was on the shelf for several months before I bough it would not be taken into consideration.
Will never buy a Dell product again as long as I Iive............

Ouch, that's shame.
My machine is working, just I won't/shouldn't turn it off. I hope this problem won't result worst things..
Thank you for your answer, Gary.

Right, same thing with my laptop.
I never restart it, and it runs fine during normal operation.
the only problem is to get it running.

Dell Inprion 15 zwart scherm en oneindig 1 beep geluiden bij het opstarten
Als ik mijn laptop opstart dan krijg ik een zwart scherm en telkens een enkele beep die zich herhaald tot ik de laptop weer uitzet. Ik heb op de Dell website en andere sites zitten zoeken maar heb geen enkel idee wat dit kan zijn. Als iemand van jullie me verder kan helpen dan zou ik dit zwaar appreciëren. Wel is het zo, van de 1000 keer dat ik de laptop probeer op te starten, start hij misschien 1 keer op.
In bijlage (links) kan u meer duidelijkheid hierover vinden:

Kijk goed naar de datum (mijn batterij steekt er gewoon niet in omdat ik op netstroom werk) dus alles werkt perfect maar sinds na deze check up is mijn laptop geen enkele keer meer aan gegaan en heb het al 1000en maal geprobeerd... :(
Alvast bedankt!

My Dell inspiron 15R is making 4 beeps after every 2 seconds of intervals neither the screen is showing anything. It's completely black and I don't know why it's suddenly happening. Please help
