Qosmio G10 - continuous beep on start up

Hi,
I have a Qosmio G10. It's worked fine up until recently. Now when I start it up, I hear a continuous beep. There is also no screen image.
Can anyone help?
Many thanks
Martin

I think there is a problem in the hardware configuration.
Did the laptop receive a shock recently?
The laptop beeps because the checks of the bios detected an anomaly.
What you can easily do is to check that at least the RAM is correctly inserted in its place. It happened to me once: I did not inserted correctly the additional RAM that I added, and the laptop beeped loudly!
If it does not solve the problem=> toshiba service.

MacbookPro continuously beep after start and don't come up

I have a Macbook Pro early 2008 15'' and now for some reason when starting, it sounds a continuously beeps (3 beeps with pause of 3 seconds in between)
while beeping, the sleep indicator light is blinking. The battery is fully charged and no problem according to its indicator leds.
Any help?

Thanks - I looked on this article and it helped. I removed the memory cards from the Mac (I have 2 of 2GB) then insreted each one separately and everything works perfect, only when inserting both together the problem appears. From the mentioned article 3 beeps means "No good banks" (???).
Is my diagnostic seems to be accurate?
Any idea how this can be resolved?

Qosmio G10 fails to start

Hi everybody
I have a qosmio G10 since less than a year. It was simply perfect.
But now it refuse to start but I am unable to identify the source of the problem. (I have some experience with hardware problems but...)
When I push the start button I do ear the DVD reader running, the HD lights up for a second and then the laptop seems to be powered on, but HDD's don't seem to run (there's absolutly nothing on screen, no boot screen at all). I'am able to open the DVD Reader/writer so there is power even on the battery.
Will somebody be so kind to share some advice? (FN F5/F1 key's doesn't help)
Thanks

Did you hear a single beep tone?
Such short single beep tone appears if the unit has passed the POST (power-on-self-test) successfully and the hardware is ok.
The BIOS on the motherboard will always perform a POST during power up, usually this test is perform to ensure proper system function and if a
failure occurs the POST will identify the failure and emits a beeping sound to prompt the service technician to take corrective action ASAP.
In your case its possibly something wrong with the display. Try to connect the external monitor to the notebook.
Furthermore you can try to remove the battery and disconnect the AC adaptor for a while.
After several time try to connect the AC adaptor again and try to start the notebook.
If it doesnt help so I would really suggest contacting the Toshiba service partner in your country for checking the notebook. Usually the technicians start some diagnostic test and are able to locate the fault very fast.

PB G3 333 - Continuously Beeps - Won't Start-up

As the subject says - I push the on-off button, I hear the Mac start-up sound, the hard drive starts to whir, then a continuous beeping starts. Not just 1 or 2 or 4 beeps - but a continuous beeeep, beeeep, beeep, beeep ... The screen is black and nothing else happens.. The beeping continues until I pull out the battery (no problem there) and the power supply.
I have tried removing and swapping the RAM chips - no change.
Any ideas?

terry,
I am unfamiliar with that symptom. Here are the POST tests for your Lombard:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58183
What is interesting is if it were in fact one of the above, you would not hear the normal startup chime.
Since I don't know what the answer is, I would try the basics:
- disconnect any and all peripherals and remove the optical drive from the media bay;
- reset the power manager and PRAM:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=14449
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
- if still a problem, remove the HD and see if it will start to the flashing '?'; if so, replace the optical drive and see if it will boot to a CD.

Pavillion dv6-6002ev is beeping on start up continuously

Hello,
I have a problem with my laptop which is the Pavillion dv6-6002ev i5, operating system: Windows 7, error message: continues beep code at the start up, issues occurred: water was spilled through the keyboard, product LL053EA.
Actually I am not very proud of it but by mistake I spilled water on it through the keyboard. I immediately turned it off and I used the blow drier to dry it as much as I could..I removed even the keyboard and the memory cover from the back in order to be sure that all the water has gone.
After that I turned it on and in the start up there is a beep code ( I don’t have LED code at all) that is continues.If I press enter or another button then after awhile this sound stops for a while then starts again and then I have to choose from the Boot manager Windows7 and then starts.
Firstly the touchbad didn’t work but everything else worked fine (sounds, video, battery, processor). After 20 hours of the incident the touchbad started also to work but the light of the touchbad still does not work.
So the main problem is the loud sound at the beginning that doesn’t stop unless I use the boot manager to start the Windows.
I searched on the internet from the beginning and I saw that this beep code can only indicate a hardware problem so until now I have tried everything available on the internet to make this sound to stop (taken from here http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01732674&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lc...)But nothing worked and everything seemed fine, memory tests passed and everything.
Also I used the DST tests that are available from this model (Hard drive, Memory, Battery) but all of them passed...
So really after doing everything and without being an expert on PCs I would like to ask is there anything more that I can do in order this sound to stop and before I have to take it to expert to fix it? And is it this sound really worrying?, can I use the laptop until I will get it fixed or its better to have it off?
Thank you in advance for your responses

Hey ktassi !
Gosh I hate when that happens! I've been there myself and I know it's very frustrating.
The first thing I would recommend doing is turning the computer on and getting all of the personal files backed up. That would be my priority. If you already have everything saved externally, then there's no need to worry with that step. Now, there is back up software out there that you can use. However, I've found that copying and pasting each folder individually over to an external hard drive/flashdrive or cloud service is a more reliable way of backing up your files.
Once you have everything backed up, you can troubleshoot. It would be helpful to know what the beep pattern is that you're hearing at power on. You did a great job finding that document. It has a key on it that will tell you what component is affected depending on the beep patter you hear. If all of the hardware components seem to be working OK, you could try reloading Windows. Although, I couldn't guarantee this would help since the beep code indicates a hardware problem, but it well worth a try.
Here are the steps to perform a System Recovery after you have backed up all of your files. From the blue links at the top, choose "Recovery from the startup screen (during system boot)". When the recovery is done, use your computer normally. Start it up and shut it down several times to see if it will detect any problems (which will cause it to emit a beep pattern again). If it does still beep after the recovery, there may be a minimal hardware issue. That malfunctioning hardware may need to be repaired/replaced before the notebook will stop beeping.
You could also try muting the PC Beep.
Right Click on the Speaker symbol in the system tray > Click Playback Devices > Right Click on 'Speakers'/'Speakers and Headphones' > Click Properties > Click the Levels Tab > Mute PC Beep.
This method should be used with caution though because if there ever were a serious hardware failure that would cause the computer to beep, you would be unaware of it, possibly until it was too late.
Let me know what the beep pattern is. Please let me know if you have any questions or if these suggestions help (this could help others with the same issues). I'll keep an eye out for your reply!

Can anyone help me with my Imac that won't start up and continuously beeps

When I turn on my Imac it chimes then goes to a grey screen and starts a loud continuous beeping sound. It's only 6 months old - I put new memory in when I first got it and up until now there was no problem at all. Can anyone help me get it up and running again?
Thanks so much.

Thanks everyone for your kind advice. Reinstalled the RAM - still no difference - what I am getting is the start up chime, a grey screen, and then three loud beeps in a row then a pause then three beeps again and so on.
Tried starting up holding down D key - no joy. Any other suggestions gratefully received.
Thanks again.

White Screen on Qosmio G10 when starting

I have an old Qosmio G10 which I bought from a licensed dealer in Beijing about 2 years ago.
After about a year of use at home I discovered that the screen would sometimes turn white when the screen was moved or shaking.
Some days it would work perfectly fine others it wouldnt even start up without going white.
Towards the end the screen would only show a picture when the screen was put in a certain angle.
Now, the screen just goes white the second I turn it on.
Am I looking at a hardware problem here or have there been known to be software problems with some of the similar laptops?
Thanks,
T

Hi buddy,
sounds like the display cable is maybe loose. I would point on a hardware problem, but before sending your machine to an authorized service partner, go to an local computer technician and let him check the cables on the display.
If realigning of the cables does not help then your display is defective and needs to be replaced by an authorized service partner. I dont know how long your warranty is, but if you want anyways send your machine to an service partner, you should visit the following link to find the nearest one in your country:

Continuous Beeping noise on Startup and at other times

My iMac is over a year old. I have no idea what is wrong or happening here but below is what happens.
I hear a continuous beeping noise from my iMac at times. I had Firefox open and when it started beeping, a little search bar opened up at the bottom left of the browser so I assumed it was a sticky key on the keyboard so I pressed the spacebar and the beeping stopped and the search bar disappeared. This happened a few more times while I was using the browser.
The other day I started up my iMac and before it opened to the desktop it showed a small iMac HD icon so I clicked it and it started up normally, but then the beeping started so I just hit the spacebar and it stopped. Now I do remember after I turned the iMac on I accidently pressed some keys on the keyboard so this maybe why it showed the HD icon but I don't really know.
Yesterday morning I turned the iMac on and came back to hear it was beeping again. It was just a fast non stop beeping, too fast to count the beeps. It had loaded into the desktop so it was all good apart from the beeping, again I pressed the spacebar and it stopped.
Yesterday afternoon I got more beeping. Beeping is not just on startup it must be something else. I was using Firefox and was trying to scroll down the page, yet it kept jumping back to the top not letting me scroll down. This happened the other day when the beeping started. Anyhow I closed the browser and the beeping starts. I was able to turn the sound down and that got rid of the beeping, turned the sound up and the beeping still there.
I tried this so far...
unplugged keyboard and started up mac = no beeping
plugged keyboard in and started up mac = beeping
Again this morning I turned my iMac on, and beeping happened again, this time I clicked System Prefrences and the beeping stopped. I then clicked the Sys Pref folder red icon to close it and it made a different noise, but closed. I then opened up Firefox and went straight to my bookmarks to find a link, it wouldn't let me scroll down my list of bookmarks either, then the beeping started so I closed Firefox. Then I heard a loud sratchy type noise, it was much louder and hearing this has now made me think, something is not right.
Firefox version - 3.5.3
Mac OS X version 10.5.8
I don't want to set PRAM or those settings yet unless it's needed as I don't know what settings/network etc it will remove or change.
I appreciate any help:) thanks

No boot, continuous beeping

Hi All,
My wife's macbook air (13 inch late 2010 model) no longer boots. The screen does not come on (no grey boot screen) and when powered on there is continuous beeps. ~1 second beep, 2 seconds silent, 1 second beep. It will continue to beep as long as you let it. Pressing the power button turns it back off. The fan will start to run on high if the computer is allowed to keep beeping for more than about 10 seconds.
Any ideas? Thanks

Hardware failure; most likely bad RAM.

Qosmio G10: How to get Toshiba Virtual Sound in Taskbar

System: Qosmio G10 running Windows XP.
When I bought the system, it came loaded with Toshiba's 'Virtual Sound' app, which replaced the standard Microsoft Volume Control app in the XP Taskbar (bottom right of screen). Now, the standard 'Volume Control' app appears in the Taskbar.
How do I get the 'Virtual Sound' app back? It enables me to easily switch between setting the sound for the laptop's internal speakers and using larger external speakers.
Thanks!
Ben.
PS. Love Qosmio's!

Hello Ben
First of all check if this application is preinstalled on your notebook. When application is preinstalled properly in task manager under running processes you can find TvsTray.exe listed there.
If the application is correctly installed you can also find an entry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ CurrentVersion\Run when you start REGEDIT in RUN option.
Check all this. If there is something wrong I recommend you to install it again.

Display Properties (Qosmio G10)

Hi,
Basically, I tried to show my parents on their TV photos from uni(Qosmio G10 - WIn MCE 2005). And it worked! Then, because I thought the resolution was too fine, I decided to tinker about with the settings in Display Properties as well as the GeForce FX Go5700 utility to change it and got carried away changing settings. After I pressed some button or another, the image on the TV vanished. I can't seem to get it back.
Anyway to reset or default Display Properties and/ or the GeForce utility - at least this will aloow me to continue to use my laptop for other presentation needs esp. at uni.
Thanks a lot,
WB

Yes, while the Qomsio is running, press Fn + F5 until you get a picture back on its internal screen.
Later,

Qosmio G10 with new graphic card and pcb - Tools CD Update doesn't work

Hi everybody
I hope you can help me. Before a few weeks I received my Toshiba Qosmio G10 back from the support, because the notebook didn't work anymore. So I get it back with a new Grafic card and a new PCB. With my Notebook I get a CD which is called update Tool CD-Rom and an instruction sheet, where it says that you have to boot with this update Tool CD-Rom after you had installed the Windows with the reovery CD.
So I made it, but when I know put the update Tool CD-Rom in and I boot with it, the computer installs something but after a short while there comes a message that it is a different model and that I have to put a button to shut down the Notebook. So i made it but the Windows doesn't start.
Why is that so? I had everything done which was said on the instruction sheet.
Please help me

Hello
It will be interesting to find out more about this update Tool CD-Rom. Is there Toshiba label? Can you please write what is described there?

Dell Inspiron 15R wont turn on (continuous beeping)

Dell Inspiron 15R (5537) suddenly wouldn't want to start. When boot up, nothing seem to appear, blank screen, no logo, no text, nothing. there is a continuous beeping, it not 2 beep or 5 beep or any number of beep, it just beep continuously, never ending, until I turn off the laptop.
Did some searching around on the web, forum, and so far I attempted:
-Checked ram and hard-drive to see if it fully connect.
-Turn off computer, unplug battery and ac power, press the power button for 30 sec.
still haven't resolve the problem yet.
Next, I try to do a Pre-boot System Assessment, FN+Power. Took SEVERAL attempt to finally got it to run Pre-boot System Assessment. Hold FN + Power, hear beeping, turn it off, Hold FN + Power, hear beeping, turn it off.
Did that for about 20 times and finally got Pre-boot System Assessment instead of the beeping.

This is the result I got from it, Currently doing the remaining memory test. It taking a long time, ill have an update once that is done, it stuck on 98%.

DELL-Terry B
This paper discusses troubleshooting steps for notebooks that are not turning on. Typically it could be one of three issues, No power (no power to the notebook), No post (the system has power but is not fully turning on), or No boot (the system has power, it is turning on, but it is not booting to the Operating system).
From your post it is obvious that the notebook has power, but it isn't fully turning on. I would have to say that this is a No post problem. This paper will go over further troubleshooting steps to help determine the problem.
If the notebook is not starting up or showing a blank screen:
Remove any peripheral devices that are attached to the computer.
Peripherals include:
Printers
Scanners
Media Card Readers
Mobile devices such as smart phones or tablets or portable digital assistants or MP3 players
Digital cameras or video recorders
USB storage devices
Remove the computer from a docking station if it is in one
Remove any CDs or DVDs in the optical drive
Remove the AC adapter from the computer and remove the AC power cord from the wall outlet.
Remove the computer's battery. For instructions on how to do this, consult the Online Owner's Manual.
Press and hold the computer power button for 15 seconds.
Insert the AC adapter plug and make sure it is seated properly.
Plug in the AC power cord to a known good working outlet.
Press the power button to see if the computer turns on.
If the computer starts, turn it off and put the battery back in.
Press the power button to see if the computer turns on.
If the computer starts, turn it off and continue replacing peripheral components until you determine
which one is causing the failure.
Please let me know if this helps out.

I did what you told me, there is power coming it, it just wont start, like i can hear the fan running, the power led is lid up, it just wont boot into anything, screen is blank and there is a continuous beeping sound, beep ... beep ... beep .. beep.. beep ... beep ... beep .. beep.. beep ... beep ... beep .. beep.. beep ... beep ... beep .. beep.. beep ... beep ... beep .. beep.. beep ... beep ... beep .. beep.. it goes on and on.
if i keep turning it on and off, if im lucky, very rarely, it boot into the OS or into Pre-boot System Assessment. Once it boot into the window OS, i attempt to do a factory reset, but as soon as it restart it fail to continue and just beep.
any other suggestions?

K9vgm-v continuous beep on boot sometimes, reboot and it stops

Hi All,
Yep it's intermittent, the computer is now about a year old and never had a problem until about a month ago when on switching on, mid way through the boot process I got a continuous beep, I could still log in to my session whilst beeping all the while. re-starting the pc resolves the problem, until next cold boot it would seem and then, not always.
It's an award phoenix bios. I have 2 x 1gb dimms installed, is the continuous beep a memory problem do you know please? Is it possible that memory problems can be intermittent?
Thanks,
Brownster.

Qosmio G10-100 - failure afer HDD replacement with larger HDD

Following a HDD failure in a Qosmio G10-100, I replaced the current IDE 80GB HD with a 160GB IDE drive. After running the recovery DVD, new HDD was formatted and the software successfully installed (subsequently proved by removing the drive and treating as an exterrnal HDD on another PC).
However, on booting up, the machine recognised that this was a different hard drive and would not let me proceed beyond the screen that offered alternatives (Safe Mode, etc), neither of which would allow me access.
Any advise greatfully received

Many thanks for looking at this issue Paulo30 and Syntax. To answer your questions:
a) I have installed the Windows OS using the Toshia recovery disc on the new 160GB HDD
b) I have now repeated the procedure twice following the failure of the PC to successfully start up
c) What appears to be the correct file structure and files have been written to the drive (confirmed by removing the HDD and looking at its contents on another PC)
d) I also repeated the procedure using the original 80 GB HDD and still no joy
e) I get an error message that begins with the following:
' We apologise for the inconvenience but Windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware or software change might have caused this'
f) The 80GB HDD was a replacement installed by Toshiba under warranty when the original drive failed and the operating system was installed on this new drive by them but not using my recovery DVDs
What I think I understand from the above is that because the hardware configutation is not exactly the same as when first installed at the factory (HDD in this case has changed) at the time my Toshiba recovery disc was created, this has caused a glitch with the recovery procedure.
I am sure that I am not the first person to be in this position and wonder if there is a simple solution
Many thanks
