Dv5 1002nr blank screen n beep code of series of 3 beeps

Hi...I have this dv5 1002nr laptop..upon boot it gives a blank screen and a series of 3 beeps three times..the beep codes I found say its the memory..I tried that to no avail..what would the next step to try..any ideas?

Hey there, kahlic
I see you laptop is unable to boot and you're getting a beep code of 3 beeps when turning the device on.
You were right in your assessment of this sequence being indicative of a memory problem. However, you say you've attempted some sort of troubleshooting to no avail. What steps did you take to try to solve the issue with the memory?
Did you remove all DIMM modules from the motherboard and replace them one at a time, attempting a boot on each single installation?
If you have not, try this and see how this affects your boot success.
While you're removing the dimm cards, conduct a visual examination of the cards and the seating to make sure there are no cracks, build-up(black substance on the contact surface), or dust. The contacts should be a dull golden color devoid of any dark marks or irregularities.
If reseating your dimms do not solve the issue, you may be required to purchase new memory for your system.
Are you aware of your device's warranty status?

Pavilion Dv5-1009el - Black screen and blink caps lock and block scorr

Hi,
I just replaced the motherboard of my pavilion that reported an error as object. The purchased motherboard is new and hp original.
After having changed, I turn on the pc and work fine, i see the hp logo and enter to bios, after I turned off the pc without starting windows.
I inserted the battery and powered on the pc and returns to the old error, the LED of caps lock and block Lock blinks...
So I tried to update the bios from USB using winkey + B. The computer emits two beeps but does not read from any USB port and the LEDs go out for a while and then blink again.
What can I do?
Greetings,
Enzo.

Hi @shmurray,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand you are getting a blink pattern on the Caps lock LED, when you turn on the notebook. I am happy to help you with this.
I am including the page on the error codes for your reference: Blank Screen LED Error Codes
From that document the pattern you are getting indicates a memory problem. You said that you have tested the memory. What exactly did you try?
The document suggests reseating the RAM or trying a new set of RAM and then restarting the notebook. If you are still getting a memory problem after trying both of those things, ie a 3 blink code again, then it would likely suggest that there is a problem with the motherboard itself, either with the memory slot or one of the controllers related to memory.
In that case I would suggest contacting the technical phone support number at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

If however reseating the memory or replacing it leads to a different error code or message please let me know, Although in that case the following may be helpful if you still have a blank screen.

Blank screen Envy 15 despite reset and external monitor

HP Envy 15 J112TX notebook has worked well for a week. Windows 8. The screen is black but can hear the fan going. Hard reset didn't help. External monitor didn't connect - it said to check the video connection. The cord was connected HDMI to DVI. Did another reset. Now i have switched it on and off a few times so that when i switch it on after a minute it will make asmall pop sound and then the fan stops making noise and it won't switch off despite holding dow the power button for a minute.
I disabled the nvidia graphics card a few days ago to try and save on power as it also has an intel graphics card. But it worked fine for a couple of days after i did that.

Hi @salsa7 ,
I understand that you cannot get your HP Envy 15-j112tx Notebook PC will not boot up for you. I will try my best to help you with this issue.
Here is a document for Blank Screen LED Error Codes that may help us determine what is causing this issue.
I hope this helps, please let me know how it goes.
Thank you and have a great day!

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...

Blank screen orange wifi and mute lights

Hello,
I have a Pavilion Dv4 laptop that does not boot. It seems to be in hibernation with the wifi and wan lights in orange.
I can hear the fan spinning. It spins and then stops and spins again. The DVD light comes on and the numllock and caps locks blink in sequence of 1 continuously.
Please help me! I need my laptop to use.

Hi jendy,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you are getting no display, but the Caps lock and Num lock LEDs are blinking. I am happy to help you with this. The below document shows the meaning of the error codes.
Blank Screen LED Error Codes
If the lights are flashing just once and then repeating that sequence, it indicates that the CPU is not functional. If that code is correct then I recommend calling the support line. Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

Lenovo H330 Beep Code: 1 long 3 short and blank screen

I have an issue with startup, every now and again my startup initiates what sounds like 2 long beeps followed by 3 short ones - 'beep-beep' + 'beep+beep+beep' - but from what I've seen, throughout online discussion, it is only 1 long beep followed by 3 short ones. After this tune is played my screen remains blank, and on another attempt of start up the PC runs fine. Any ideas?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Since the computer's behavior changed after re-seating the memory I would double check the memory slots. Remove the memory and shine a flashlight into the slot to see that there is no debris in the slot and that the contacts look fairly shiny. Also look at your memory module contacts. You can lightly rub these contacts with a pencil eraser to insure they are clean. Just be sure there is no eraser residue left on them before re-inserting them into the computer and avoid touching the contacts with your fingers.
If the above doesn't offer any help then try booting the computer with just one memory module installed. I assume you have two in there. Then see how it boots. If it boots Ok then swap the module for the other one. If both of them boot Ok by themselves then move the memory module over to the other slot and try booting up the computer.

New R4830, blank screen + beeps on boot

Hello,
After installing a new MSI Radeon HD 4830 card in a computer, it displays only a blank screen after booting. It also gives an error code beep of 1 long then 8 short beeps (Display/Retrace test failed?). So far I've tried:
Reseating the card.
Uninstalling old drivers (was using a Radeon x1650), rebooting and putting the R4830 in.
Installing the new drivers from the R4830 cd.
Resetting the BIOS to default values.
I'm beginning to suspect that the PSU is unable to support this card, but I would appreciate advice before I advise my relative to spend more money. Specs for the system in question are in my signature. If any more details are needed or would be helpful, I'd be glad to find them.
Thank you in advance for any assistance.

Like Boneman said about PSU, a system with that 4830 video card should have minimum 26 amps for +12V. (With your old 1650 it was recommended +12V~18A) Yours is only 19A so is way below recommended power. I recommend a Corsair VX450W/+12V~33A. You can't go by watts as the cheap PSU's vs quality PSU's of same watts can be as much as double the +12V amps.
A close example would be your C M 400W PSU/+12V~19A vs Corsair CX400W/+12V~30A

Apple Cinema Display 23" - Blank Screen, "short-long-short" LED code

Hello everyone.
This sounds like something of an epidemic... My Apple Cinema 23" HD Display (bought Dec. 2007) hasn't been turning on after a power outage hit our area last week.
The Computer and Display were OFF when the outage occurred. Everything was plugged into a surge suppressor. Everything ELSE plugged in to the suppressor is fine (including my Mac CPU)... but not the monitor.
It’s not dead-dead…. It’s a blank screen but there IS a morse-code flash on the LED (short-long-short). According to Apple Support’s LED Translation, it SHOULD be something to do with the power adaptor. The adaptor IS correct… a 90 watt… but just in case I bought ANOTHER 90w adaptor brick. I plugged the monitor to the new brick. THE RESULT WAS THE SAME.
I’ve tried power cycling, I’ve tried plugging it into different outlets, I’ve tried connecting to other computers. The same LED result remains.
And, yes, of course, I’ve got no Apple Support, and from what I read in similar posts, outside-the-warranty repairs could hit around $400. I REFUSE!
For now I have a Samsung monitor from Costco. It’s not bad, but it’s not the Apple monitor with its awesome color-fidelity.
I've read some other posts with the same problem (LED blink code and all) elsewhere but haven't got a solid answer.
I wonder… has anyone else incurring this same problem (with the same LED flashing deal) tried to use a 150-WATT adaptor brick? I would try this myself, but I’m currently financially unable (and personally unwilling) to throw more cash at this problem unless I know it’ll fix it.

Hi all!
As mentioned on the title of this topic *I HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM* with my 23" Cinema Display...
Before the failure, the monitor *WAS IN PERFECT CONDITION* (trust me when I comment this, my whole life is in front of a monitor)
*THE PROBLEM SHOWED UP THE DAY I MOVED THE MONITOR TO AN OTHER OFFICE* (???). Please note that *I TOOK EXTRA CARE WHEN I MOVED THE MONITOR*, besides, when something costs around 1K you owe to.
*I TRIED AN 150W ADAPTER ON IT AND WORKED FINE!!!* Just like before.
But since *IT WAS UNDER GUARANTY* I sent it to the local distributor who eventually *REPLACED IT WITH A "NEW" ONE*, which after remarks from my side it turned out it wasn't "new" but re-manufactured by Apple (off course, he guarantied me the parts in it, where brand new and had 0 hours of usage).
In my question to the technical representative of Apple *"WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MY MONITOR"*, he answered me that *THE INVERTER WAS FAULT*.
After that I questioned him *"WHY MY MONITOR MANAGED TO WORK WITH THE 150W ADAPTER?"*, he answered me that *THE EXTRA CHARGE OF THE 150W ADAPTER WAS ABLE TO "EXCITE" SUCCESSFULLY THE FAULTY INVERTER IN ORDER TO WORK* and that *IT WAS A MATTER OF MONTHS FOR THE MONITOR TO FAIL AGAIN*.
That's my story... I hope it may help some of you... Personally I can't have an opinion on the matter, since I'm not a technician. The only thing on which I can comment is that *A 1K MONITOR SHOULD BE WAY MORE DURABLE AND TOLERANT WHEN YOU TRANSFER IT AROUND (if that cause the problem of course)*

Any advices would be highly appreciated.

Hi JasonZ,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
I am sorry to hear that you are facing a blank screen issue with beep sound on ThinkPad T430.
As you have mentioned the issue about the beep it is related with system board security chip.
Either replace the system board or (i don't know whether it is possible) let replace and rewrite new the security-chip by a professional.
Please click here to know the complete details on beep sound issue.
I strongly suggest you to visit the nearby service center for further assistance on the issue.

2 Beeps on Startup and blank screen - Satellite P300-19P

Hi guys,
I installed an express card yesterday and it's caused all sorts of havoc (IRQ conflicts, hangs etc).
I went to restart this morning and it's now just giving me 2 beeps and nothing on screen. I've looked up the phoenix bios bleep codes but this one aint listed. Any ideas if I can do a BIOS reset with a jumper?
Obviously I've tried removing the express card!
Any help would be fantastic
Thanks
Owen

Hi buddy,
> Any idea what the beeps mean?
Only an authorized service provider can say for sure what this beep code means
> I'm not fused about an authorised provider as it's out of warranty.
Why is it a problem if your notebook is out of warranty? Who says that a repair would be expensive? Maybe its a simple thing that would cost only few Euros.
