My Laptop Makes Beep sound when I press power button and it wont Start

Beeps are continuous with small interval, suggest me solution.

If its 2 beeps it means the memory module(RAM)is not getting detected.

You may try removing and reseating the memory modules which is located on the bottom of the system.

For steps to remove and replace memory modules follow the steps given on page 13 on Owner's Manual.

To access Owner's Manual (Owner's Manual PDF)use this link: http://dell.to/X1sCKV

Note:If removing and reseating both memory module does not help,try booting system with one memory module installed and use the same memory module on both the slots.This will help to find out if its an issue with memory module or the connector slot.

Let me know how it goes.

It didnt work

What if your laptop makes 2,3,4,5,6,7 and 8 beeps everytime you start it up?

For example, I press the power button once, and there are 5 beeps and it cuts off. I press it again and there are 2 beeps. I press again and there are 7 beeps. It cuts off until I get lucky and the harddrive powers up.

Hi AlexStone,

If the beeps are not consistent and if it keeps changing with each reboot then beeps codes may not help to identify the problem.In some system models beeps codes cannot be used as diagnostic indicator.

To check further please post your full system model  and the exact issue details.

Thank You

Hi Mayur,

Did you try booting system with one memory module installed? Did  you try the same memory module on both the slots?Was there any change on the number of beeps when you tried starting system with one memory module?

When I start my computer, there is a sound like a fan, but then it beeps 'x' amount of times before cutting out. When I can finally get on, there is a sound as though it's reading a disc, which for me means it's working. However, I do get the blue screen from time to time with PFN Corrupt or Memory Management, or error codes 1a, 3b, 4e, 5f. My CD/DVD drive isn't working, so I can't use any discs.

It all started when I got occasional blue screens two days or so after purchase. I thought it was something I'd installed, but I could live with the blue screens. Things have got to the stage above now, and I'm worried I won't be able to get on it at all one day.

My Action Centre is full of critical events everyday, but my Dell Support Centre has started to pick these up. Apps keep crashing and so on.

This morning, the majority of beeps were 7, but there were a good few 2 and 5 beeps, with three 8 beeps.

I ran the hardware diagnostics. Everything was fine except the CD/DVD section. The error codes are below:

Error Code: 2000-0147

Validation: 125515

Message: Optical Drive 0-self test: OPU test failed.

Hi Alex,

The error code confirms there is an issue with the optical drive and most likely  it needs to be replaced.It could be an issue with the drive itself or an issue with the cable/connector port on the system board.
