Optiplex 990 SFF Beep noise
Hi I have searched the forums and cannot find any solution. I am getting a beep noise even though there is no power connected to my pc and the pc is off. The beep noise is constant and I cannot recognise the pattern as well. Please help

Replace the size 2032 CMOS battery if it hasn't been done in the last 5 yrs. A low battery can cause all sorts of bizarre problems. And of course, please post back as to how it goes.

Thanks for a suggestion, however, do you have steps to replace the battery?

You use a sharp plastic spudger to press in and lift the coin cell.
