Go to SolutionLaptop beeps on startup
I am using a Dell Inspiron 5558 for 3 years (this is the 4th year). Since yesterday it has started beeping on startup. There are exactly 5 beeps. And once the OS is loaded, the beeping stops. What can be the problem and what is its solution?
PS: My laptop is dual booted (Windows 10 and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS)
Just one more thing...Is it ok if I replace the battery in December or do I need to urgently replace it? I am kind of busy for 2 months and will also be traveling. Also, now that I know the problem, is there any way to disable the beep sound as it is very loud and disturbs everyone around.
Thanks
Mathew Joseph
