Satelite L750 (PSK2YA-04K010) constant long beeps when it gets to the loading Windows screen.

Hey all,
I have a customers laptop here, a Satelite L750 (PSK2YA-04K010). It's running Windows 7 Home Premium and when it gets to the Windows loading screen it beeps long constant beeps and the HDD led flashes in time with those beeps and doesn't actually load Windows.
Next time you reboot the computer it will often not beep and then boot fine.
Anyone know what this error beep relates to? I can't see anything in the manual or online that explains the error beeps.
Thanks.

That doesn't appear to be a US model, and this is the forums for Toshiba USA. You may want to contact Toshiba in your region.

Keyboard and mouse no longer work when booting into Rhapsody

I still have a bootable partition with the last release of Rhapsody (aka Mac OS X Server) on my Power Mac G4 but it's been a while (years!) since I actually booted it up. The G4 also has bootable partitions with Mac OS X 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4 (and is in daily use running 10.4.11).
I used to boot into Rhapsody occasionally, mostly for interest's sake, occasionally to test Unix software on legacy systems; I haven't tried to do so since installing 10.4 until now.
When I booted up from the Rhapsody partition today, all went well -- the system started up fine, and the login screen appeared -- but the keyboard and mouse no longer work. I even got out the original keyboard and mouse that came with the G4, with no luck.
I assume that recent firmware updates have bypassed support for Rhapsody. I guess I'm not surprised -- it was a developer-only release, after all. But has anyone a solution?

Adding to the above: I also tried plugging in an Microsoft USB keyboard at the point when Windows freezes at the Windows log-in screen. The keyboard is not recognized and the only way I can leave this screen is to power-off the computer.

Keyboard and Mouse no longer recognized when Boot Camp'ing into Windows XP

Mac Pro early 2008, Mac OS X 10.6.2, all updates applied. WinXP SP3. Standard wired Apple smooth mouse.
I normally use Parallels 4.0 to access my Windows XP on this Mac. That's been working fine and continues to do so. I upgraded to Snow Leopard not long after it was released. My Parallels is set to use the Boot Camp partition as the basis for its virtual machine.
I haven't started Windows directly from Boot Camp in some time. It used to work fine also. I am not sure I have accessed it directly from Boot Camp since I upgraded to Snow Leopard.
In any event, when I try to boot into Window, my slim wired Apple USB keyboard and mouse are not recognized. I get to the opening Windows Log-In screen and at that point, I can't move the mouse cursor and I can't type anything into the Windows password input box. The red mouse laser light flashes once every 7 or 8 seconds but also doesn't stay on.
Starting Windows under Parallels still works fine. I downloaded the BootCamp 3.1 Windows 32-bit upgrade from Apple. I tried running it in Windows under Parallels. Something ran for a while when I did that but there was no installation screens or dialogs after I clicked the "run" button.
Not sure what to do next.
Thanks.

Satellite L350-12N - Beeps when booting

Hi there,
I bought this as a reconditioned laptop, and I'm having trouble getting it to boot. When it's switched on, it shows the welcome to Toshiba screen where you can press function keys to enter the setup screens, then the screen goes black, makes a continuous beeping noise, and goes no further. It doesn't load the operating system.
I've tried restoring the operating system from the hard drive as instructed in the manual, but the same fault remains. Is this a known indicator of a hardware or software fault?
Any help or advice would be appreciated!

Hi,
If we just switch it on and leave it to it's own devices, it reaches the toshiba screen, then the screen goes black and it makes the loud beeping noise. It sounds like separate beeps back to back with no gaps. It doesn't load the operating system.
We did manage to install the operating sytem by interrupting the normal boot sequence by pressing F8 and selecting Windows Vista. By doing this 2 or 3 times, Vista installed and launched as we would expect. At it's final restart during setup, it booted and launched without beeping.
This morning, I switched it on, and it's beeping again! In an effort to stop the beeping, I pressed F8, and it took me to the logon screen! I entered my details, and it launched windows as you would expect. This surely is not normal!
We seem to nave no option to enter the bios settings.
We've restarted it once or twice since, and it's started up just fine, so it seems to be in intermittent fault.
We haven't made a recovery disk yet, as last night we couldn't get that far! We used the HDD recovery.
Is this looking like a hardware fault we need to get the vendor to sort? Are there any known reasons for this beep? It sounds like a warning beep.
Thanks for your help!

K7N2G Beeps when booting for first time

I purshased the K7N2G series motherboard, and after connecting everything when I boot it beeps for about 1 and 1/2 seconds straight then stops, then a few seconds later it does it again. It does this until I power it off. A few times I was able to get into the BIOS, where the only things I set were the boot order, disabled the floppy controller, and changed the FSB to 133Mhz. But nonetheless, it did this before I got into the BIOS the first time. I have the following items attached to it:
AMD 2200 w/ fan(which I made sure was working correctly when I booted)
256MB DDR333 memory(installed in slot 1)
40GB brand new unpartitioned IBM hard drive
HP 4x CDRW drive
Hard drive is set as master and plugged into the middle of the cable, and cdrom is slave at the end both connected to IDE 1. I realize this isnt the best way to have them hooked up but its only like that for convenience purposes now. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated
Thanks.

T400 Win7/64 Advanced Dock -- External Monitor No Longer Comes When Booting

My configuration:
T400 (2767-14U)
Windows 7 64bit
256MB ATI Radeon 3470HD (switchable graphics running in "High Performance")
Advanced Dock (2503)
Lenovo D221 Monitor (using VGA cable)
I used the above configuration without issues for a year.
My problem:
I just replaced my hard drive, clean installed the OS and all applications, and updated all drivers and the BIOS using System Update. Since doing that, my external monitor no longer comes on when I boot my computer in the dock (lid closed). The only way I can get the external monitor to work is to boot my computer first, and then "hot dock" it.
As far as I know, all of my BIOS/Power/Graphics settings are the same as always.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Solved!

Maybe the BIOS setting for Default Display got switched back to ThinkPad LCD?

Type dash continously and beep when booting

My Folio 13-1000eo continuously type dash "-" while in Windows and when I reboot it beeps but pressing escape get to the menu included in the HP Folio where I can edit the diagnostics application and from there I can get past the beeping as soon as I turn the computer on and boot to Windows.
It appears to me that there probably is a keyboard problem. I remove the dash-key but the beeping still persist so I would say that there isn't a problem with the key got stuck in some way. I've pressed on every key on the keyboard in order to release any other key maybe as a side effect resulting in this situation but it doesn't help.
What do you think, is this a keyboard problem leaving me with replacing the keyboard or do you think it is something else and do you have any idea how to troubleshoot this issue any further?
Kind regards
Björn Lindahl

Thunderbolt display long beep when plugged in to macbook

I have a MacBook Pro and connect it to a Thunderbolt display. After downloading Yosemite, whenever I connect to my display it makes a long, continuous (about 1-2 minute) beeping noise. The noise repeats every few minutes. It is loud and high pitched. I have connected to other Macs and the display does the same thing, so it is not coming from the computer. Any ideas?

If you still need help, download the Thunderbolt Display manual here.
Give it a minute or two to download then use the Command + F keyboard shortcut then type: troubleshooting

Three beeps when booting new computer with MSI Z77A-G43 Mobo

I just built this pc and pressed the power button. Nothing happens for a few seconds and then I hear 3 beeps from the PC speaker. It powers off by itself and opens again, with 3 beeps again, and repeats this until i press the power button to close it down forcefully.
Board: MSI Z77A-G43
Bios: I am not sure, but the box says Click BIOS II
VGA: MSI 7850 Twin Frozr III
PSU: Corsair Builder 600W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V Power Supply
CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor LGA 1155
MEM: Corsair
HDD: 1 TB Western Digital Caviar Black
COOLER: CoolMaster Hyper 212 EVO
OC: none

3 beeps is a memory failure!
try each stick in slot 2 individually as you may possibly have a bad stick?
if the first suggestion doesn't work remove the CPU and check the socket as you may have a bent pin in there causing the issue?

3 Beep when i try to boot Snow Leopard (after memory and sad upgrade)

Good night,
I have a Macbook Pro Later 2011 with Yosemite installed and today i tried to upgrade memory and SSD.
Memory: 16GB 1600MHz DDR3 (2x8) Corsair 11-11-11-30 1.35v
SSD: Corsair 120GB Sata 3 Force GT
After installation of my new gear, i tried to install OS X Snow Leopard through DVD and i get this 3 beep when boot start.
So i reinstalled the original hard drive, keep the new 16gb and started correctly.
Tried boot DVD again with the original hard drive and new 16gb but the 3 beep continues...
Then i removed the 16gb, but still doing this 3 beep stuff when i try boot from DVD.
I tried all combinations with new and old hardware but nothing more works...
I have changed the slots with both, the 16gb and old 4gb.
Could be the DVD corrupted?
Now im running my Yosemite with the original hard drive and the new 16gb memory without any issue.
Im already do the memory test nothing wrong appear in results
My configuration:
MacBook Pro (17 polegadas, Final de 2011)

The DVD's too old for that Mac. If you need to install an OS on it, connect it to the Internet and start it up with the Option, Command, and R keys held down.

Getting long beeps

I recently upgraded my PC to AMD 64 3000+ Venice, MSI K8N Neo4-f and KIngston HyperX Ram. The system doesnt boot up. I just get repeated long beeps when I try booting up. I read that this means a memory error. So I tried a different stick from another PC but I get the same beeps. I tried all 4 slots on the board with no luck. Can somebody help me?

I am using a Zalman 7000 cooler and the fan is spinning fine. Only thing I noticed was when I unscrewed the cooler and tried to lift it the cpu was stuck to it. Should the heat sink have surface contact with the cpu or should it stay slightly above the cpu?
The bottom surface of the heatsink should fully contact the CPU's heatspreader (the top surface of CPU). If it doesn't, the heatsink can't function.
Did you use the proper mounting hardware for the A64?
I know that some coolers come with brackets & such for more than 1 type of CPU socket. If you used the wrong one, the cooler won't mate to the top of the CPU properly & it will overheat almost immediately.

Long Beep tone at startup - Unable to select boot partition

Recently I was running a software update on an old G4 which had been working perfectly. When the system restarted it made a long beep tone then the usual bong. The system hung at the "starting login window" stage.
The beep is not a bad RAM beep, that one is short. This is a long beep like one you get when you update firmware.
Tried taking out and reseating the RAM but that did nothing.
After booting into OF a couple of times, doing "Reset All", Zapping PRAM etc. we still the get tone at startup only now we just get the white OF screen. It no longer tries to boot into OSX unless we type "Mac Boot", in which case it hangs at the login window again.
I attached an external drive with two partions, one with 10.3.9 and another with 10.4. Both will boot successfully on my old Pismo and my PB G4. When the OF screen came up I typed Mac Boot and held down the Option key. The blue screen came up and first boot partition was displayed, but the machine sat there and spun forwever searching for the others. I figured it was stuck on the internal drive so I disconnected the ribbon cable and tried again. This time both partions on the external drive are available, Yae! However when I go to select either one and click on the right arrow nothing happens. The selection seems to bounce back to the first partition. And through all of this the long beep tone is there at startup.
So thats the stage we are at. If anyone can shed some light on this situation we would be most appreciative. What is causing the tone? How can I fix it?
Why doesnt the system accept the boot drive selection?
Mike

Hi Petra,
It was one of the recent security updates for 10.3.9 along with Quicktime, iTunes etc. I couldn't tell you exactly which ones as its been a few weeks since the original event. However I can say that I had already done the recommended firmware update for that machine several months before the crash.

Powerbook g4 won't boot - long beep

Hi,
My powerbook g4 (fw800 1.25Ghz 15") won't boot any more. Symptoms: after hitting the power button, it takes a while before it emits a long beep and flashes the sleep led a large number of times (I cannot count exactly how many times). This is different from the POST beeps mentioned on apple's web site: these beeps are shorter. This long beep also has nothing to do with the firmware upgrade procedures on other powerbook models.
When I remove RAM memory, it first beeps and flashes as already mentioned, and then, after a while, gives one short beep and two flashes (this indeed corresponds to the POST messages published by apple). Reseating RAM does not solve the long beep/boot problem.
I also tried the following: resetting pmu, resetting pram, without luck.
Then I opened it, and verified that all cables were seated correctly, unplugged the backup battery (which still has the correct voltage), reassembled everything, also without luck. With/without hard disk or optical drive: makes no difference. Also using it with either or both battery or AC power makes no difference.
Does anyone know what the long beep means? Is the logic board fried? Is there anything that I can try myself (I am somewhat experienced in fixing defective hardware in desktops and laptops). I probably have nothing to loose. I don't want to send it in for repair or spend money on a replacement board.
Thanks in advance
Patrick

Hi pwambacq,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
You're much more likely to get the help you need in the Aluminum PB folder, which is what you own (this is the Titanium folder).
FWIW, you've tried most of what I can think of. Not sure if you've done this or not, but give it a try if you haven't: in case one of the RAM modules is bad, try just one module at a time, and try it in both slots.
Will it boot to the install disc?
If it's not RAM, HD, or connections, seems likely it's the LB.
Good luck.
