Thank you for your quick response, I'm not sure if it's under warranty. I don't think I have an extended warranty, but it was just purchased last year. I will send you the service tag # in a message.
I seem to have the same Issue with My M5030 LAPTOP. Its a series of 7 beeps when you try to boot up the laptop. Screen will not come and then all you hear are 7 beeps. According to diagnostics codes the 7 beeps mean CPU failure. I have contacted dell support but they are unable to help me since it is 9 DAYS OUT OF WARRANTY.
Can i receive some assistance regarding this matter ?
For me, I got lucky and it was still under warranty. They replaced the motherboard I believe. Your best bet is to call Dell support. They were very helpful and courteous and the repair was done extremely quick! Good luck...so sorry..I know it's a hassle. I feel your pain.

I suggest you look at en.community.dell.com/.../20120547.aspx
That's if Dell hasn't removed it !!
They may remove this as I've suggested UK M5030 owners report all to the BBC Watchdog programme.
