Dell Inspiron M5030 - 7 beeps and black screen - processor failure

I have two of these Dell Inspirons m5030's laptops.  One is doing the 7 beeps of death while the other is still functioning.  The one that is dead has been used more than the other and I am now waiting for that one to fail also!  I would love to sign up for a class-action law suit!  I  have read about so many of the same problems with this model and I believe that Dell is aware of it, but chooses to do nothing about it!  Terrible, don't think I will ever buy another Dell product again!

Hi schexnailder,

I am sorry about this; The 7 beep code indicates that there is a processor/motherboard failure

Please send me the system service tag or express service code through a private chat, so that I can help you further.

Dell m5030 - same problem 7 beeps , and black screen . This laptop - m 5030 -  has  THE 7 BEEPS  DISEASE .

Same  <ADMIN NOTE: Substitute character removed as per TOU> here. So are you people telling me that its better to buy a 2nd hand laptop on e-bay than to try to fix my dell inspiron m5030? I think I will never buy a Dell product again, seriouslly. And when you ask for help here its the same answer everywhere! But nothing works though... 

Send S Royan a private message and he will help out .I found him very helpful and Dell fixed the problem 

The 7 beeps just started this morning..have had the laptop for 3 years now...so the warranty has expired & now been on hold with dell customer service for the hour

add s royan as friend and send him a private message, even if warranty expires he does his best to sort it. May take a week or so to get back to you though !!

Who is s royan? Lol

Hi jethro1 and nxashaly,

I am sorry about the situation; The 7 beep code indicates that there is a processor/motherboard failure. Try releasing the static power and check the system is working. Follow the steps below.

Switch off the system; remove the battery, ac adapter and the power cable. Press and hold down the power button for thirty seconds to drain any excess static power. in case the issue persists, Please send me the system service tag or express service code through this private chat, I will see what best can be done.
