Laptop beeping

My laptop will not start but beeps 7 times repeatedly when I try to turn it on.  It is a Dell Inspirion M 5030 and has never done this before.  Can you help me get it started?

Hi PHYLLISREN,

The 7 beeps mean it is a CPU failure. However, I would suspect the motherboard at this point. See this article for beep codes - http://dell.to/1IuETMX

Assuming there is no warranty, then you could contact our team to get a quote for a paid service call - http://dell.to/1vnT6CQ

If you wish to replace the parts yourself, you could get them here as well - http://bit.ly/2eUfzJd

However, finding the motherboard for this old model might be quite a search.

My personal suggestion is that you invest your money on a new machine than to repair this system. However, that is your discretion.

Also, please click my DELL-username and write me a private conversation with the service tag and your Name for case records.

Let us know if you have any other queries.
