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!

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.

I unplugged the power adaptor and suddenly, my mac started beeping repeatedly like an alarm. What does this mean?

I unplugged the power adaptor and suddenly, my mac started beeping repeatedly like an alarm. My mac was fully charged and would not start up. I pressed down on the restart button to reboot it and the noise stopped.
What does this mean?

Hi, it indicates a RAM problem, (or Logic Board around the RAM).
The power on self-test resides in the ROM of the computer. This test runs whenever the computer is turned on after being fully shut down (the power-on self-test does not run if the computer is only restarted).
If a fault is detected during the test, you will not hear a normal startup chime. Instead, the system will beep as explained below. If you experience one of these beeps, you may call your Apple Authorized Service Provider for additional troubleshooting assistance.
1 beep = no RAM installed
2 beeps = incompatible RAM types
3 beeps = no good banks
4 beeps = no good boot images in the boot ROM (and/or bad sys config block)
5 beeps = processor is not usable
In addition to the beeps, on some computers the power LED will flash a corresponding number of times plus one. The LED will repeat the sequence after approximately a 5-second pause. The tones are only played once.
Note: In this case, a flash is considered to be 1/4 second or 250 ms or greater in length.

My macbook air stopped working suddenly and started beeping no backlight ...just beeping

my macbook air stopped working...and started beeping...how do I recover...no backlight ....just beeping

three beeps in a row? That indicates the RAM is bad on the logic board.
verify the scheme of the beeps and report back.
3 beeps = RAM is bad
4 beeps = no good boot images in the boot ROM (and/or bad sys config block)
5 beeps = processor is not usable

Running fine, locks up and then starts beeping, 3 times

New iMac. Runs fine but sometimes it justs locks up and starts beeping. It's 3 beeps, pause, repeat.
What's the deal? Only way to stop is to power off with the button and reboot. Then all is fine, until next time.

Check your RAM, it sounds like you may have a loose, incompatible or bad module.

HT1941 While working in word computer turned off and started beeping

Okay, I was working on a word program and the computer turned off and started beeping. And doesn't respond to anything

Sounds like hardware failure. Take it in for service.

Trying to uninstall Kaspersky 2010 Int. Sec.; screen blanks, tower starts beeping; can't turn off.

Cannot uninstall Kasp. Int. Sec. 2010. Clicked first uninstall button, screen went blank, then tower started beeping--froze up. Cannot turn off computer; have to unplug. Next day booted up, computer had to 'check file system on C: Three steps to scan...1) verifying files 2) verifying Indexes 3) verifying Security Descriptors. Everything checked out, windows booted up, ok. After 3 minutes another warning: Windows is shutting down to protect the computer....etc.etc., screen went blank, beeping started, cannot turn off again.
I want to delete/uninstall almost everything from two years ago (computer not used since) and start over. Help.

Can not uninstall Kaspersky.

3.error message--- when i turn on my laptop it starts beep sound continuously after hp screen and touch pad also not working properly cursor continuously goes down automatically....
4. i jus installed windows updates.....

Hiya,
Is the beep sound happen while loading Windows? Is it coming from the speakers?
Have you tried your cursor in the Recovery Manager to see if it's a software issue? When the BIOS HP logo is on the screen press F11 to load recovery manager. If mouse works normally then you have a software issue, if issue still percists it is most likely hardware based.

I had my laptop in hybernate, and it had no problems when I was using it 30 minutes before.

Don't worry about that! your laptop maybe slow battery, or keyboard error (stuck button keypad)

When i hit power to turn on it starts beeping?

Generally, if the screen remains black and it beeps when you turn on power, there is a memory issue. Could be a problem with a memory card or a logic board issue.
First, reseat the memory and see if that fixes it. Instructions on MacBook memory are here. If that doesn't work, and you have two memory cards, reverse the slots, ie, take one out then put the other in the slot just vacated then put the first card in the previous second card slot. If that doesn't work, try booting with just one card (if they are 2GB cards) and then the other card. If still not working, the next step is substitute known working memory for your memory cards. And if it still doesn't work, time to take the MacBook to an Apple store or Apple Authorized Service Provider.

Ibook G4 won't start - beeps 4 times-flashes 5 times

My ibook G4 won't start - beeps 4 times-flashes 5 times. It has been working great - I installed 1 gig ram and new hard drive last week and pro tools. It has run for a week great then this. Very Frustrated.

to whom ever may read this.
I took the keyboard off and made sure the ram was secure ( took it out and stuck it right back in) and everything SEEMS to be working. (maybe it got knocked loose from when they inatlled the Hard drive - which was done after the ram installation - or just got bumped) - If any one has had these problems I would still like to know how you solved them - this was very scary!!!

My macbook pro just started beeping. What can I do?

I dont know why but it just started beeping and everything is not working, what can i do?

Since you make no mention of which OS you have nor when the beeps occur.........
If you have AppleCare, give them a call. If not, take your MBP to your local Apple Store or AASP. Let them properly diagnose the problem and provide you w/a repair estimate.

Just to share GREAT Experience with Lenovo Service with T61p one long two short beeps

Two weeks ago my laptop just suddenly died for no reason. It was in sleep mode and never woke up. I have researched some forums and found that the best thing to do is try to call the number of Lenovo service. I cannot remember it right now, but please check another thread t61p and one long two short beeps. The laptop was out of warranty and according to lenovo site it was 31. July was the last day for replacement claims, however nobody asked a question regarding warranty or replacement. Lenovo sent the box promptly and whole turnaround was in 3 days.
I was really surprised with efficiency and service.
So, if you are in the same situation please give it a try.
Good Luck!

I have used support service a few times and they have always been professional and helpful the support center in Ga. I called last night for my wireless card its on the way to me now I've never had any problems
