Need help in diagnosing 1 long beep 2 short beeps

I know this usually means video card is bad. I need to know if disconnecting internal video cable on working system will give the same symptom to help isolate problem between display and video card
Solved!
Go to Solution.

not exactly sure; the 1long + 2short beep diagnostic is somewhat generic, it could be almost anything (on the mainboard, including GPU).
and Lenovo ThinkPad Beep Codes and ThinkWiki Beep Codes have conflicting information about the 1long/2short
you haven't said what machine, but assuming it's a T6x series,  do you have it docked with an external video card?  the onboard GPU is not socketed (it's soldered to the mainboard), so the only way to disable it (that i'm aware of) is via the BIOS (assuming an external video adapter in a dock is also available for further troubleshooting).  i don't think that disconnecting the display panel (flat) cable is likely to help diagnose the problem, but while you're at it, you might want to make certain that it is seated/connected properly.  i know that where the display cable connects to the socket on the back of the lcd panel is a tight fit, and the connecter itself locks into place (when mated).  you've checked the lcd cable for damage and/or proper connectivity, i assume?  what about external monitor to the VGA port... have you tried that?  FN-F7 key presses may be necessary to toggle the video hardware b/w the internal/external displays.

  • HT4859 I need help! I know longer have access to the email that I opened my icloud account with and I can't remember my password. I have tried asking Apple for help and no one has been able to! Any advice

    I need help! I no longer have access to the email that I opened my icloud account with many years ago and I can't remember my password anyway! However it continues to backup all my stuff. But I have no access to go in and delete items or manage my account. The pop-ups now tell me that my account is full and it will no longer be able to backup items. I would like to go in and delete items that I do not need to make room, but I can't! I have personally gone into the Apple genius store and presented the problem as well as called Apple support and talked with a live person. And no one has been able to help me. I cannot believe that I have basically lost my iCloud accessibility? I have a lot of money vested in music and priceless pictures! Please can someone help me?

    I don't know what you mean by "closed" - icloud accounts stay in existence even if you disconnect all devices from the account.  You can't delete them.
    If you don't recall the ID or the password, and if the link above doesn't provide another way to get to the account, then you are out of luck.

  • Need help on diagnosis of Graphics Issue

    Hello,
    I need help to determine if I am experiencing a graphics card issue and what my options are if there are any experts out there I would appreciate some feedback.
    *My system info:*
    Model Name: Mac Pro
    Model Identifier: MacPro2,1
    Processor Name: Quad-Core Intel Xeon
    Processor Speed: 3 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 2
    Total Number Of Cores: 8
    L2 Cache (per processor): 8 MB
    Memory: 4 GB
    Bus Speed: 1.33 GHz
    Chipset Model: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT
    Type: Display
    Bus: PCIe
    Slot: Slot-1
    PCIe Lane Width: x16
    VRAM (Total): 512 MB
    Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de)
    Device ID: 0x0602
    Revision ID: 0x00a2
    ROM Revision: 3233
    *Description of Issue:* When playing 3D video games (i.e. Mass Effect 2 or Dragon Age) everything visually is fine for about 20 seconds and then I start to see pixelization (snow), texture anomalies and system freezes where mouse stops moving. It gives time slices occasionally so sometimes I can Alt + tab out of game and close it. Or the entire system just crashes. I think what is going on is some loop that is pegging either the CPU(s) or GPU.
    Everything was working fine up until last night. I had been playing the games without issue. I am playing these games on Windows XP and Vista using Boot Camp.
    This initially occurred on Windows XP playing Mass Effect 2.
    These are the steps I took which essentially tell me it is not a software issue:
    - Tested on another game Dragon Age (same result)
    - Updated to latest Nvidia drivers (same result)
    - Tested on separate Boot Camp Windows Vista with Dragon Age game (same result)
    These results lead me to believe I may have a broken graphics card? But I want to be certain before I go out and purchase a new one.
    *My Questions:*
    - Is there some software to verify if my graphics card is shotty?
    - Is re-seating the graphics card or memory worth trying?
    - Cleaning the dust out of my machine?
    - If I need a new graphics card, what are my options? Do I have to purchase it via Apple store? I would like to stick with an Nvidia card so am I stuck buying the same card I currently have or can I upgrade?
    If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it.
    Thank you,
    Leapstepman

    Is there some software to verify if my graphics card is shotty?
    Techtool Pro has some testing, the AHT tests VRAM, but game benchmarks and stressing will tell you the most.
    Is re-seating the graphics card or memory worth trying?
    Absolutely. Just don't reinstall the graphics card until you clean it thoroughly.
    Cleaning the dust out of my machine?
    YES. A dust filled graphics card heatsink will cause the GPU to cook, and cause problems thet you describe.
    If I need a new graphics card, what are my options? Do I have to purchase it via Apple store? I would like to stick with an Nvidia card so am I stuck buying the same card I currently have or can I upgrade?
    You don't have to buy from Apple, but using with OS X limits your choices to Mac compatible or flashable PC versions.

  • Customer Exit not working - need help in diagnosing

    Hi all,
    I need some help in identifying a Customer Exit issue in our QA system. 
    Currently, in Dev I have a customer exit defined and everything works perfectly.  However, the same code which was migrated to QA works fine when testing at the FM level but not when executing at the report level.  I tried inserting a breakpoint and executing the report, however the breakpoint never populates.  There seems to be a communication issue here.  When executing the report the variable does not call the customer exit FM/program. 
    How do you diagnose this problem?  Is this a BASIS issue?
    I tried testing the query in RSRT and I run into the same issue of nothing happening.  I tried deleting the variable and recreating with only the same results. 
    Is there a config or setting that is related to the customer exit functionality within BW?
    Also, when transporting the customer exit code I did not migrate the FM along with the Include.  Is there a proper way to migrate this?
    Thanks,
    DC

    Thanks for your response.
    I did double check the variable name to be exact.  I think the issue maybe related to the project not being activated.  I will update as I diagnose the problem.
    Thanks

  • Captivate 7: Need help to diagnose background audio which increases suddenly mid-video.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hQ1GJpVQNU
    I inserted a music file into the video background.  At 1:39 you'll hear the background music suddenly jump up in volume. 
    When I imported the audio file to the background, I edited it by adjusting the volume.  The volume was reduced appropriately in the preview, however, as you can hear, it jumps significantly.  There is nothing I can see either in the audio file - or in the other elements that may cause this.
    I've tried deleting and re-importing and changing the volume using the  threshhold/ ratio settings (versus just the volume bar), but nothing changes that jump. 
    Any help is appreciated!

    Thanks for considering the problem! Unfortunately, as I stated above, the voiceover needs to be a background audio file that plays throughout the project. It's not possible to record audio-per-slide because of the structure of the video - and because I do a lot of editing of the audio files for 8-minute videos.
    FYI - I was able to have a chat conversation with a support tech. Here is the transcript of that chat:
    Anvinder: We have not tested the workflow of captivate 7 with yosemite so far.
    Anvinder: You might find some inconsistencies.
    AMANDA: So, is there no solution to this error?
    AMANDA: Do I need to publish the entire project every single time I make a small change?
    AMANDA: Has Captivate 8 shown this error in Yosemite?
    Anvinder: In order to make the changes evident in the output  you need to publish the whole output.
    Anvinder: Amanda, the best practice is to publish the whole project.We are in testing phase for the same. You can download the trial version of captivate 8 and work on it on yosemite.
    If you have a suggestion for a better workflow for creating tutorial videos (ultimately published to YouTube) that need to include the following, please share!
    a voiceover
    heavily animated explanations of concepts
    live screen capture of business processes in software
    Thanks!

    That panic was not caused by third-party software. If the problem is recurrent, the possibilities are:
    A stale or corrupt kernel cache
    A damaged OS X installation
    A fault in a peripheral device, if any
    Corrupt non-volatile memory (NVRAM)
    An internal hardware fault (including incompatible memory)
    An obscure bug in OS X
    You may already have ruled out some of these.
    Rule out #1 by booting in safe mode and then rebooting as usual. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
    You can rule out #2 and #3 by reinstalling the OS and testing with non-essential peripherals disconnected and aftermarket expansion cards removed, if applicable. Sometimes a clean reinstallation (after erasing the startup volume) may solve a problem that isn't solved by reinstalling in place, without erasing.
    Corrupt NVRAM, which rarely causes panics, can be ruled out by resetting it.
    If your model has user-replaceable memory, and you've upgraded the memory modules, reinstall the original memory and see whether there's any improvement. Be careful not to touch the gold contacts. Clean them with a mild solvent such as rubbing alcohol. Aftermarket memory must exactly match the technical specifications for your model. Memory that is either slower or faster than specified may be incompatible.
    The Apple Hardware Test, though generally unreliable, will sometimes detect a fault. A negative test can't be depended on. Run the extended version of the test.
    In the category of obscure bugs, reports suggest that FileVault may trigger kernel traps under some unknown conditions. Most, though not all, of these reports seem to involve booting from an aftermarket SSD. If those conditions apply to you, try deactivating FileVault.
    Connecting more than one display is another reported trigger for OS X bugs.
    In rare cases, a malformed network packet from a defective router or other network device can cause panics. Such packets could also be sent deliberately by a skillful attacker. This possibility is something to consider if you run a public server that might be the target of such an attack.
    If none of the above applies, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. You may have to leave it there for several days. There isn't much point in doing this unless you can reproduce the panic, or if you can't, it happens often enough that it's likely to be repeated at the store. Otherwise you may be told that nothing is wrong.
    Print the first page of the panic report and bring it with you.
    Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you know how to restore, and you have at least  two independent backups.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.

  • Need Help - Mac Mini no longer works with LG Television

    Sometime ago (maybe about two months), my Mac Mini quit working with my LG Plasma HD TV. Currently, when I try to use the Mac Mini with the television, the screen displays a "no signal" message.
    The Mac Mini is a one year old Intel Core Duo and is connected using a DVI to HDMI cable.
    I've troubleshooted:
    1. Connected the Mac Mini to our 42" Sharp Aquous LCD - it displays fine.
    2. Taken the Mac Mini to the Genius bar. It displayed on the genius' Apple display w/no probs.
    Since then, I've tried:
    1. Reinstalled/rolled back to Leopard DVDs (no updates applied) - No luck
    2. "Driving" the Mac Mini via Screen Sharing using my MacBook and monkeying with the Display preference pane. While screen sharing, I tried using SwitchResX, too (not too certain of the settings though) - No luck.
    Of note:
    1. Before the trouble began, I was pleasantly surprised to see "LG" (automatically) listed as the display in the Display preference panel. Support was literally plug and play. Currently, when I drive via Screen Sharing, "LG" is no longer listed. Alternatively, when I connect to the Sharp Aquous, the Display preference panel DOES list "Sharp" as the display.
    Any ideas?

    I'd be interested in any resolution here. Here's my story:
    I have a Mac Mini model MA723LL/A and a Haier P42LV6-T1 42" HDTV plasma with VGA and HDMI inputs. I first attempted to hook the Mac to the plasma TV using the DVI->VGA adapter that came with the Mac. I got no image at all on the TV, and the TV claimed 'No Signal'.
    Then I used a DVI->HDMI adapter, and hooked the Mac to the TV thru the HDMI port. I got a picture and was happy. I setup iTunes, got the wireless working, surfed the web a bit and all was OK except the resolution seemed wonky. So I opened the Mac's settings panel to adjust the resolution, and as soon as I opened the settings panel, the screen went blank, with the TV claiming 'No Signal'. I shut off the Mac and rebooted, and from that point forward, what happens is this:
    press On Button->
    Apple Boot Screen->
    MacOS 10 loading->
    desktop For About 1 millisecond->
    screen goes blank with TV claiming 'No Signal'
    I hooked the Mac to my Dell 20" LCD monitor thru the monitor's DVI input and got a great picture. I tested all the resolution settings, and everything was fine. I have tested the Mac on the TV with all available resolution settings and it's always the same story (see above for sequence)
    I'm kinda at the end of my rope. The Mac seems to be changing something on its video output at the end of its bootup, but I have no clue what. Has anyone seen anything like this? Any advice at all?

  • Strange symptoms, need help to diagnose.

    My mid 2010 macbook pro has been acting up. I could use some help.
    1. 5 minute boot times
    2. Sometimes refusing to launch any apps
    3. Spinning beachball all the time or complete freeze
    I have plenty of Ram available, did a clean reinstall of snow leopard (problems seemed to start when I upgraded to Lion, so I went back), 280 gigs free on HD, very few non apple apps, in the past disk repair seemed to help some. (now I can't get it to run)
    Thanks everyone for your help.

    When you went back to Snow Leopard, did you erase the ENTIRE drive with the 10.6 disk first?
    Lion alters the partition map of the boot drive, if you didn't erase and format the entire drive with the 10.6 version of the GUID parititon map, Snow Leopard might be having a problem with the 10.7 version of the GUID.
    Clone the 10.6 OS X partiton off to a external drive with Carbon Copy Cloner,  check that your files are there.
    Hold c boot off the 10.6 disk and erase the entire drive (select the makers name and size on the far left) use the Zero Erase option, that will map off any bad sectors you might be having. Install 10.6 fresh, same log in name, Software Updater till clear.
    Reinstall your 10.6 programs from fresh sources and finally hook up the clone and transfer just the users file folders (music, pictures etc., not Library) into the same ones on the internal.
    This is know as a "Fresh Install" combined with the Zero Erase of the internal boot drive, should map off bad sectors and cure all your problems.
    https://discussions.apple.com/community/notebooks/macbook_pro?view=documents
    People don't know that Lion alters the GUID and creates a hidden Lion Recovery partition at the bottom of the drive, thus can cause issues as Snow Leopard doesn't know what the heck is going on.

  • When I try to load an image from the scanner, or from a file, into a bank deposit script, I get a message - "Error Java heap space". Need help to diagnose and fix this problem.

    I am running a script from my banking facility which asks me to load an image of the front and back of the check. I never had a problem before, but this time when I try to load the images either directly from the scanner, or from previously saved jpg files I get an error window message that says - Error Java heap space,

  • Audiobooks - need help bad going on long car ride!

    I purchased a few books and songs from itunes and they appear on my recently purchased and I can drag and drop them to my playlist and other folders but when I look at nano only the songs are there no audiobooks.
    Whats up with that?

    Well I figured I could use the Leopard disk since it doesn't say anywhere on it "Upgrade" - I figured it was the full OSX Leopard install disk that I bought.
    Why can't I use that to boot from, strange?
    I just popped in the 2 install disks that came with my iMac and it's now starting up the installation - however, I don't think this is Leopard - it's probably an older version.
    So once this is installed I'm going to have upgrade to Leopard by essentially installing yet another OS? Seems like such a hassle to not be able to boot from the Leopard disk I bought

  • [NEED HELP] 1 long and 2 short beeps

    I have built a new pc and I almost finished and Im using the z97 msi gaming 7 motherboard. When I turn the computer on I starts up but then shuts down again.
    The beeps I'm getting is 1 long and 2 short which I think is the video card or something, which i have reinstalled (it may be just 2 beeps aswell. 1 long beep when starts 2 when it shuts down.) The beeps are very quiet.
    After it has shut down it will start itself again many times until I have to switch off the PSU. I have tried reinstalling the GPU's as said and the RAM. If you need any info on what parts I have just tell me.
    I have also tried another pair of RAM sticks I had lying around, but I still get the same error so I don't know if the problem is the RAM.
    When I completely remove the RAM sticks theres 3 long very loud beeps, but the computer doesnt turn off.
    When I remove the two msi 970gtx gpu's completely and use the hdmi from the motherboard I still get 1 long and 2 short beeps before it powers off and then restarts the process until I switch off the PSU.

    Okay, I have checked the pins and reinstalled everything. All of the pins seemed fine and I cant see any scratches on the motherboard anywhere. I did some breadboard testing (http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/289442-30-motherboard) and following this it seems like there is something wrong with the RAM. The system beeps 3 times without any ram, but when I add one stick of RAM (8GB) it starts up but doesn't beep. It also doesnt beep if I add in a GPU. If I remove the stick of RAM and just leave the GPU in there I will beep one time very loud (louder and longer than before). When I had it installed in the case it would beep for startup once and then beep twice for videocard error and it would shutdown and then restart, but now It will just keep running until I turn off the PSU. I have tried with another pair of MEM sticks which should also be compatible with the board but it stil doesn't make a sound.  I have tried my current PSU on some other parts and it will run just fine (don't have a second PSU). Any thing else I should test?

  • Kernel panic with 1 long beep, need suggestions and helps on iMac 21.5

    First of all, my iMac spec is as follows.
    - iMac 21.5 inches Mid 2011 (Intel Core i5 2.5 Ghz)
    - OS X version 10.7.4
    - Memory 4 GB
    My situation is that I experienced a first ever kernel panic. It forces me to restart the system. I followed that, and then whenever it boots up a one time long beep sound occurs. After that a flickering screen (white and black) with normal chime sound occurs, and repeat itself for 3-4 times before actually goes into a normal login screen.
    Everything is normal, I can use any programs properly. But one thing I notice is that "serial number" is missing in "About this mac" option. I strongly remember that it's there since a time of purchase this iMac. I also take a look at System/Profiles and nothing there as well.
    I also take a look at the kernal panic log in /Library/Logs/CrashReporter and /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports but can't find any relevant logs. There's just one file inside both 2 folders, and that log is dated which is not match to my incidence.
    I tried remove out ram, and switch the slot between them, but it doesn't help.
    Also I've tried reseting PRAM, but it doesn't help as well.
    My iMac is within the warranty but outside of technical call.
    Any suggestions and help would be very appreciated.
