Troubleshooting Procedures
5.3.3.2 POST Beep Error Messages
In the event of a hardware problem that affects the display, the Notebook also
communicates errors via a series of beeps. These codes may be heard over the
system's speaker as three bursts of beeps. The interpretation of the beep codes is
provided in Table 5-3.
To recover from a self test error, try cycling power to the computer. Also, press
Ctrl-Alt-Esc
to ensure that the Setup configuration is correct. In general, most of the
failures are associated with the Upper and Lower Electronics Boards and may require
board removal/replacement.
