starting the remainder of the boot process. If the computer passes the POST, the computer may give a single beep (some computers may beep twice) as it starts and continue to boot. However, if the computer fails the POST, the lenovo beep codes computer will either not beep or generate a beep code that tells the user the source lenovo thinkcentre beep codes of the problem. If your computer has an irregular POST or a beep code not mentioned below, follow the POST troubleshooting steps to

error codes when first turned on (and at other times, too!). This listing, which dell beep codes consists mostly of error codes and sounds that are displayed during POST (Power-On Self-Test) may be of use to users in ibm beep codes 1-3-3-1 problem determination. If you don't find the exact error code you're looking for, try looking for the first few non-zero digits of the code. Note: This is not generally a complete or definitive list http://www.computerhope.com/beep.htm of codes. If you don't find what you're looking for here, try the relevant Hardware Maintenance and Service Manual (if you can find one). | Recent changes to the list are marked with a bar. Notes: BEEP codes that may occur during POST (Power-On Self Test): Beeps Failure ========================================== No display and No beeps Power Continuous Beep Power Repeating Short beeps Power or stuck keyboard key 1 long and http://ps-2.kev009.com/pcpartnerinfo/ctstips/49fe.htm 1 short high beep Clock speed too fast 1 long and 2 short beeps Display 1 short beep Display 2 short beeps Display 1 long and 3 short beeps EGA -- check the video RAM The power-on routines for the PC Convertible use similar audible signals :- - One short beep: No errors found - Two short beeps: Nonfatal errors found - One long and one short beep: Fatal errors found - One long and two short beeps: Fatal errors found; LCD controller failed, or, if LCD is detached, CRT display adaptor failed. - Three short beeps: Low battery without external power (fatal error) - No beeps: The power-on self-test routines could not run, speaker failed. For a 90 or 95 with no beep, fan runs, power-on light lights, memory count and blinking curser continuously loops, suspect Processor Board Cache A long beep followed by two short beeps on POST indicates that the primary display adapter is malfunctioning. The first thing to check is the switch settings to be sure that they are set properly for the display adapter(s) installed. If the switches are correct the primary display adapter is probably bad, and needs to be replaced. An audible click at power-on indicates "power-good". A cli
one error message. When this occurs, correct the cause of the first error message. The other error messages usually https://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/bladectr/documentation/topic/com.ibm.bladecenter.hs12.doc/dw1hc_r_beep_code_descriptions.html will not occur the next time POST runs. Exception: If multiple error codes or light path diagnostics LEDs indicate a microprocessor error, the error might be in a microprocessor or in a microprocessor socket. See Microprocessor problems for information about diagnosing microprocessor problems. Follow the suggested actions in the order in which they are listed in beep codes the Action column until the problem is solved. See Parts listing, Types 8014, 8028 and 1916 to determine which components are CRUs and which components are FRUs. If an action step is preceded by "(Trained service technician only)," that step must be performed only by a trained service technician.
