Beep codes for S10?

Hi,
When I turn on my S10, I get a blank screen with a 1-3-4-3 beep code. I've searched a little bit and for desktops, that points to bad RAM. Is this the same for the S10?
thanks,
John

Beep code for gateway ne722

anybody has an issue with 3 long beep and 2 short beep with a Gtaeway NE722 laptop. Also the smart touch pad is not workiong at the same time

getAway,
Have you changed any hardware on this notebook or opened it for any reason? Looking at the codes makes me think that something is not installed correctly, ,a stick of memory might be bad, or the motherboard itself is going/has gone bad.

K9A2 Beep Codes ON POST

I just purchased and installed the K9A2 MB with an
AMD AthlonXP 4200+ Duo Core
2 gig matched set of Corsair Ram.
Nvidia GEForce 8500 GT 512MB Video Card
500Gig IDE WD Hard drive.
When the computer POSTS, I get a beep code 1short 1long 2short. Everything seems to be running okay and the system boots without any issues.....
My question...? Why is it throwing up the beep code errors and what do they mean..?
James

The first short beep probably means your boot block and system block are ok. The second series of beeps could be indicating an issue with your video card...

K8T Master Beep codes?

Anyone know where I can find beep codes for the K8t Master2? I'm building a new system, and I have the same problems as metioned in a previous thread (beep, beep, beep - black screen, no POST). I've tried 3 different brands of RAM.
My PSU is an Antec 380. Came with the Sonata case. Just out of curiosity, I tried powering up with no CPU, RAM, or video. It's the same beep.

Thanks for the code list. Couldn't really find the applicable one, but I strongly suspect I'm using the wrong RAM. I don't think I'm using registered. I disconnected all drives during the troubleshooting process. There's no display yet, so I'm not worried about not being able to load my OS. I'm just hoping for a glimmer from the monitor now. I've tried 2 different vid cards, neither one is a powerhouse model. Both are low end dual head units. The one I plan on using is an ATI radeon that's a couple of years old, 128 Meg DDR. I have indeed connected all the proper power connectors from the 380 watt supply. Trying to run 2 Opteron 242s. They are matched. I've also tried running just one CPU. Reset the video card, tried all the ram in every slot, cleared CMOS. The usual. Only thing I can think of is RAM. If you have other ideas, I'm all ears.
I got an Antec sonata, and it is really, really quiet. Unless that MSI board with the stock fans are in it. Those are the loudest CPU fans ever. I'm amazed.

MSI mainboard AMD socket 970A-G46 beep codes

What are the beep codes for the MSI mainboard AMD socket 970A-G46?

Depending on the BIOS version installed, some of them allow POST and USB device count beeps and others don't. Usually a single beep indicates a successful boot.
It can also mean this;
*1 beep - Refresh failure - (NO VIDEO) memory refresh failure (bad memory)

Hi @J-Lccd
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you are getting a beep code on start up. The most common cause for this is faulty memory.
However you can take a look at these pages and see if they are helpful.

HP Pavilion Elite e9240f won't boot -- beep codes

When I try to boot my hp desktop I am getting beep codes. As best I can tell it's one long then 8 short.
I have not replaced or changed any hardware or software.
I have used compressed air to blow out all the fans I saw.
It's been an intermittent error that I thought was related to heat. I'd turn it off, let it sit for the night, and it would work in the morning.
The last time it worked, I was wondering about a virus so I ran an avast full system scan. It found one file in the 1 tb drive (sorry, don't remember name, just that it was a .tmp file) and it said to move it to chest I believe so I did that. It then suggested doing a boot scan so it restarted and has since given the same beep code errors.
I have unattached the cables for the cd and dvd drives, as well as the hard drive, and I still get the error. I've removed the video card and still get the error. I've held the power button down so that the led light inside the computer shuts down. I seem to get fans to run but nothing else.
I made a system repair disk from another Windows 7 Professional (which I think this one is) and that won't work (I can't seem to boot into that) because it doesn't seem to get to an HP screen to boot into the cd.
Thoughts?
Thank you

Hi,
This is the HP troubleshooting link for POST error codes.
You could try reseating memory modules or removing one at a time and testing for a successful POST.

Fail to boot (short-short-short-long beep code) after M92p BIOS Update

Hi,
I recently updated my BIOS to the latest version using the System Update tool from Lenovo. For a while everything seemed to be working alright, as the BIOS was dowloaded and the computer rebooted. After rebooting the first time i was presented with the BIOS utility, and noticed that the update was progressing.
After 20 or so seconds the computer rebooted again. This is where my problems began. The computer immediately started beeping this short-short-short-long melody from the speakers. I thought this was normal, so I left the computer on for quite a while.
However, the beeping never stopped. Now the beeping resumed the instant i plug the power back in. I have yet been able to actually getting any sort of information on-screen telling me what's wrong.
I've tried following the "Recovering from a POST/BIOS update failure" on page 267 of the Hardware Maintenance Manual, but no luck with that so far. No matter where I place the jumper, the beeping code is the same short-short-short-long melody (yeah, it sounds like a disney tune or something).
Any bright ideas? The machine type is a M92p 2992-B3G
I'd hate to have to send it in for repairs, and Lenovo's Norwegian support line doesn't open until Monday, and there seems to be no way to call their 800-number in the states from here
Oh, and would this be covered by my warranty if repairs / motherboard replacement is the only way out?
UPDATE #1:
I found this in the manual;
3 short beeps and then 1 long beep DRAM memory
error
Perform the following actions in order.
1. Make sure the memory module(s) are properly seated
in the connector(s).
2. Replace the memory module(s).
3. Replace the system board.
This is pretty much Lenovo's way of saying "You're screwed", isn't it?
UPDATE #2:
I've now tried pretty much everything;
The solution as proposed on page 267 in the Hardware Maintenance Manual
Unplugging all cables and harddrives before booting
Removing my PCIe video card and PCI Wireless NIC before booting
Removing all memory modules, and trying 1 and 1 module
Moved a memory module from another machine that I know is working
No luck so far.
Ideas would be welcome at this point

I'm glad to hear it's just a simple memory error, however the original problem in this post is a bit more than just a memory problem.
This became a problem after a BIOS update, so somewhere along the way one of Lenovo's developer screwed up badly, and it's been bugging me ever since. There's absolutely no way for me to use any PCI-e card with my M92p.
I've tried 6 different cards, 3-4 different memory module combinaties, with our without harddrives plugged in, and every thinkable combination of these.
No luck. Therefore, I simply conclude that Lenovo are dicks, and we all know what dicks enjoy doing; **bleep**ing people over.
I've given up on the issue, and I'll never buy a Lenovo again after this.

4-2 Beep codes on POST

New board
4 short beeps....pause....2 long
Recent upgrade of BIOS from 3.1 to 3.3
On reboot BIOS Checksum error
Changed supposedly benign settings in BIOS
No display and now 4 short beeps....pause....2 long
Parts are all brand new. Fairly new MSI 760GM-E51 FX board that booted fine. Installed ESXi 5.0 on it. It complained about the processor (AMD FX 8120 3.1Ghz AM3+). Seeing that the box states "Supports AM3+ CPU with new BIOS" I downloaded the 3.3 version of the BIOS from the website onto a USB drive. In BIOS loaded the new BIOS and rebooted when it was done. It gave a check sum error. Back to BIOS, altered some settings that seemed benign, rebooted. Now there are beep codes "4 short beeps....pause....2 long". They cycle. No display.
Read some page about reset to factory default through a jumper. No good.
Tried to load BIOS from flash by booting while pressing CTRL-HOME. Nothing seems to happen other than the same beeps.

CPU is not overclocked. Have removed just about everything from board except, keyboard, ram, cpu, monitor. (no drives)

I was the one that built the system for redboy. I've got years of experience building systems for myself and as a living.
Here's some background on the system. All parts, except the CD Drive were ordered from Newegg. The machine was working fine under bios version 3.1, it booted into ESXi without a problem, except for an uninformative CPU Alert in the vSphere client under the Health Status section in the Configuration tab. I remembered that the CPU had a warning that the motherboards bios might require an update to work properly with the CPU. We ran the update and when it rebooted it threw up a checksum error. We went in to the bios and didn't change anything just saved the configuration as it was and then hit save. Rebooted and the machine booted up fine into ESXi. The CPU Alert was still there. We rebooted and went back into bios. I looked over the settings to see if there was any new settings that might need to be changed. I didn't find anything but I did make some changes. Nothing major, just disabled all the devices that ESXi couldn't see, or we wouldn't end up using, like the audio card, Serial, and Parallel ports. Saved the settings and rebooted, and that's when it refused to come back up. Not sure if that helps any, but I'd rather give more information than you need than too little.
Thanks for any help.

Bar code for materials.

Hi Friends,
Our client wants to maintain bar code for the vendor provided material no.s. For vendor materil no.s we are using the old material numbers.so please explain how to use thisbar code for goods reciept, issue etc...please reply....

Hi Prasanna
A barcode solution consists of the following:
- a barcode printer
- a barcode reader
- a mobile data collection application/program
A barcode label is a special symbology to represent human readable information such as a material number or batch number
in machine readable format.
There are different symbologies for different applications and different industries. Luckily, you need not worry to much about that as the logistics supply chain has mostly standardized on 3 of 9 and 128 barcode symbologies - which all barcode readers support and which SAP support natively in it's printing protocols.
You can print barcodes from SAP by modifying an existing output form.
Behind every output form is a print program that collects all the data and then pass it to the form. The form contains the layout as well as the font, line and paragraph formats. These forms are designed using SAPScript (a very easy but frustratingly simplistic form format language) or SmartForms that is more of a graphical form design tool.
Barcodes are nothing more than a font definition and is part of the style sheet associated with a particular SAPScript form. The most important aspect is to place a parameter in the line of the form that points to the data element that you want to represent as barcode on the form, i.e. material number. Next you need to set the font for that parameter value to one of the supported barcode symbologies.
The next part of the equation can be a bit tricky as you will need to get a printer to print that barcode font. Regular laser printers does not normally print barcode fonts, only specialized industrial printers that is specifically designed to support that protocol and that uses specialized label media and heat transfer (resin) ribbon to create the sharp image required for barcodes.
Not to fear though, there are two ways to get around this:
- You can have your IT department do some research -
most laser printers can accept a font cartridge/dimm chip (similar to computer memory), called a BarDIMM that will allow a laser printer to support the printing of barcodes.
- Secondly, you can buy software that you can upload in your SAP print Server that will convert the barcode symbology as an image that will print on a regular laser printer. I found that this option results in less sharper barcodes. This option is really if you need to convert a large quantity of printers (>10) to support barcodes.
- Thirdly, you can buy a third party software like Barcode.dll and install on your frontend PC connected to the laser printer.
Now you have a barcode printed - what next?
Well there are two options, depending on your business requirements:
- You can use an existing SAP transaction on a regular workstation and get a barcode wedge reader to hook up between the keyboard and the PC. These wedge readers comes in a wand or scanner format. There are even wireless wedge scanners available that allows you to roam a few yards from the workstation to scan a label. This approach is mostly used where you want to prevent human errors in typing in long material, batch or serial numbers in receiving or issuing of material. The problem is that it's just replacing the keyboard input and you are basically locked down in one location and have to bring all the material to that location to process.
- Another solution is to use SAPConsole transactions
or write your own ABAP Dialog programs that will fit onto a barcode enabled wireless handheld terminal and that will follow the business logic as executed on the shop floor.
These programs are highly complex exercises in industrial engineering and ergonomics because of the limited screen sizes and limited ability to accept keyboard input. The user is instructed step-by-step and only scan and push F-keys to interact with the SAP system. Scan, scan, beep, beep, enter - highly automated.

Dx2400 Microtower Won't Boot - Beep Codes

Hi all,
One of my users has a dx2400 microtower. Yesterday, according to her, it just stopped working. Upon visiting this morning, I find that when powering on, nothing is displayed on the monitor, the green light on the power button is solid, the LAN LED is solid green, and there is a beep code.
Beep, Beep, Beep, *Pause*, Beep.
It all just sits there doing nothing. I reseated the RAM to no avail, and at this point, don't know what's wrong. I tried to find a guide to tell me what the beep code means, but was unsuccessful. Help! Thanks!
