Continuous clicking/beeping sound Inspiron 15-3521

Question

Continuous clicking/beeping sound when I try to turn on my computer. My laptop turns on but the screen remains black and all you can hear is the clicking. I tried the 30 second power button hold thing and it only worked once. Now my computer won't turn on anymore it just makes the clicking for 2 days now. I also tried the FN thing and my laptop just continues to beep. This needs to be fixed soon! I'm in university and I have a lot of assignments that I need my laptop for! Please help! :(

Hi jackieb95,

I’d suggest that you follow the steps mentioned below and check if the beep pattern repeats.

Switch off the computer.
Disconnect the AC adapter from the system.
Remove the battery from the computer.
Press and hold down the power button for 15 seconds.
Then connect back all the peripherals and check if the beep pattern repeats and reply us with the beep count.

Please private message us the system service tag so that we could check and assist you further. To send a private message, click on my name and send private message.

Please let me know the findings.

I did that and it didn't work. The beep continued and there is no pattern, it just goes beep.....beep.....beep. It beeps about every 3seconds.

Hi jackieb95,

Sorry for the delayed response. I would suggest you reseat a few components, like memory, hard drive and optical drive and see if that makes a difference. In the link below punch in the system service tag or express service code and you can access the user manual for removing and reseating components.

Check for the beep pattern again if issue reoccurs.
