Inspiron N5010 beeps at start up

Question

Dear all, When I start my inspiron N5010 laptop it first make 4 beeps with 1 shorter beep and then it starts to continuesly make 8 beeps in a row. I believe that this is a cmos battery issue because i tested it and shown less than 1.5 volts. Does anyone understands why this happens? The complete history is the following: First bluetooth was disabled showing general error code 43. I read that we have to turn off the laptop, remove the battery for few minutes and then place back battery and open again. I did this and the error above with beeps arised. Few minutes later the laptop started normally with bluetooth working again. Next day the laptop had the same issue with beeps again and all tries to turn it on were failed. If anyone has faced again something like this please help. Kind regards, Manolis.

Why haven't you replaced the cheap $3 coin cell battery to test?
