Tecra A7 2400 One Long Two Short beeps after failed bios flash

I was installing the toshiba updates when I accidently clicked on the bios .zip file. To my horror the bios started to install itself then froze up the computer. I've been unable to access the bios and I just get a black screen everything seems to power up but no bios start screen. I've tried taking the cmos battery out but it will not reset. Is my motherboard screwed?

BIOS chip is screwed and you must contact service partner in your country. Please explain them the situation and they will give you more info about repair.
By the way: your unit must be brand new and why did you make update? Did you notice some problem?

  • 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

  • Satellite P500 PSPG8E - Bios peeps 3 time - one long two short

    Hello,
    I have a question: when I power on my Satelite P500 PSPG8E I get 3 Peeps: One long two short!
    What is this, maybe Memory?
    Thanks allot

    Hi Michael,
    I dont know what this beep code means exactly but as you wrote, it could be a RAM issue.
    Do you have two modules installed? If yes you should try to start your notebook with one module only and test each module in each slot to determine if its RAM, RAM socket or something else.
    But if your notebook is under warranty the repair would be for free if you contact an ASP in your country. ;)

  • One long 2 short beeps

    First off I have used nothing but MSI as seen in my sig.  This time I have strayed from the path of good straight onto the path of evil.  I am sorry to say that this problem is on a Soyo mobo (pos).  At startup I get one long and 2 short beeps that would indicate a problem with the mem or the vid cad.  They both work just fine in my MSI system but I get the nasty beeps on the Soyo(pos). I've reseated evrything several times, checked and rechecked the connections and nothing I do makes any difference.  Now considering this is a problem on a Soyo (pos) I don't expect a reply on this forum but hope someone may be kind enough to reply by e-mail and give me a hand?  There is a thread similar to this about an MSI 875 mobo and I have carefully followed the posts and have coonfirmed that I have done all the same steps as posted.
    I have strayed from the path of enlightenment and been coerced by low prices and curiosity, forgive me for I have sinned.

  • S10: 1 long + 2 short beeps + Crash

    Last night I left my S10 ideapad plugged in downstairs (last activity was about midnight).  At 6:00 a.m., was awaked by a loud alarm, 1 long + 2 short beeps, repeating.  System was unresponsive (had to remove battery to stop the beeping).  If the beep codes are similar to other Lenovo laptops, this is a generic beep code for system board or display or BIOS (not very useful, heh!)
    Anyone else see this? 
    Early adopter problems to be sure, so no real complaints (other than frustration) but just seeing if anyone else has seen this. 
    Since I got it: 
    - Updated to latest XP patches 
    - Installed MS Office and AIM Lite
    - Upgraded display driver via Lenovo website (PuTTY didn't work until I did that) 
    Tried to use ThinkVantage auto system update, but it doesn't seem to connect to their server (might just be that they haven't loaded S10 stuff up there yet).

    Welcome to the forum!
    There are a few Lenovo employees roaming around in here helping out on a volunteer basis, but this is not an official support channel. Instead, this is designed to be a user-to-user support and discussion forum. You may or may not get an answer directly from one of the Lenovo employees as there are way more of us than them and all of them, even Mark, have full-time jobs doing other things.

  • R7850 PE 2GD5/OC causes 1-long-2-short beep code on 990FXA-GD80 on some startups

    Sometimes (usually after the desktop is shut off for a while), my GD80 board will do the 1-long-2-short beep code, and then continue booting, but the monitor display isn't activated.
    Shutting down and turning it right back on however has no beep codes, and the display turns on as-expected. Turning the system off and unplugging the power for a bit, then plugging it back in also doesn't result in beep codes and the display works.
    So basically, there's some GPU-related issue that seems to only affect a cold start, but not entirely sure what. According to this, the beep code is a "Monitor or display card error".
    The GPU itself seems to work fine with a stress test under Linux.

    I RMA'd the card already, so I just hope a replacement fixes the issue.
    I'm not too certain how frequently it occurs or the exact ways to reproduce it, but the issue seems to only occur on a cold start. So if I shut my computer down, sleep for some hours, and come back to turn it on, the issue occurs (where the GPU doesn't seem to come on with POST, motherboard beeps, no display output).
    It happened since the first time I started using the hardware (I haven't used the motherboard or GPU previously; was waiting on a CPU). The GPU was a RMA already from MSI.
    Couldn't test the components in another system. However, I'm using an old Radeon HD 2400 PRO currently in this computer and it starts up fine from cold starts.
    The GPU had some other weird issues with it (hard-locked the system when the screen suspended, and wouldn't work with a UEFI VBIOS), so I'm thinking it was just faulty. On the other hand though, once the computer was on and the GPU actually running, everything else was fine (stress testing and games were fine).

  • Pavilion DV5000 no display 10 short beep after a long beep

    My friend have a old HP Pavilion DV5000 laptop, recently it having an issue, when tried to power it on, button LED are glowing, fan is rotating but no display coming and 10 short beep after a long beep can be heard.
    Anybody have any idea what could be the issue and what does that beep code mean?

    Memory or video (bad motherboard). Try each RAM module separately.

  • 890fxa-gd65 1 long 2 short beeps

    Hello all,
    I have a 890fxa-gd65 and a xfx radeon 6870 HD in a new computer that I am trying to get running. I get 1 long and 2 short beeps at power on. From what i read from the forums it is a video problem. I know for certain the card is good. Anyone know what might be going on. I want to update the bios but obviously cannot with out video. Or can I? Anyone know of a way i can update the bios without video, and without having to buy another video card? just fyi, I know that the power supply is also good.
    Any help is appreciated.
    One other question. I am new to MSI boards and was wondering what to do about the 6-pin video power plugin on the board itself. The card already has two 6-pin connectors so im not sure if the board plug needs to be used or not. I have tried booting with and without it so i dont think its the main issue, but i would still like to know what to do with it.
    Thanks,
    Derek

    what psu you use?
    have you connected all power cables to the vga?
    have you tried to reseat the vga into the PCIE slot?
    do you use 1st PCI-E slot close to cpu socket?

  • Re: Tecra M9- Dropped, Hold tab and it beeps, fan spins lights flash.

    Hi,
    My Tecra M9 was dropped, worked for a few days and now doesn't. I suspect a bad CPU.
    When I plug it in, the notebook tries to turn on without me having to press anything.
    There is no backlight, no screen activity, no beeps, no fan.
    If I hold the tab button, or the tilde button while turning it on, the notebook starts to beep, the fan goes on max and the on light flashes.
    What is this, some sort of diag mode?
    Can someone tell me what the beeps and lights mean?
    I can tell you that if I take out the ram, the "pressing tab thing" does nothing.
    Also without a CPU, the "pressing tab thing" does nothing.
    The ram is tested good in another notebook.
    Can anyone confirm that it's a bad CPU?

    Thanks for answering so soon:)
    I also have a Tecra A9.
    I have tested the ram in the A9 before putting it in my M9.
    I tried every possible combination of ram.
    Here is an interesting thing that happened:
    I took the CPU from my good A9 and put it in the bad M9.
    The M9 shows signs of life.
    It does not try to turn on by itself like before (good).
    When I do try to turn it on, the fan spins at a normal speed (good).
    But the screen stays black (bad).
    Then I put the CPU back into by good A9.
    When I do try to turn the good A9 on, the fan spins at a normal speed (good).
    But the screen stays black (bad).
    I thought I just killed my A9.
    But then I took out the power cord and battery, held the power button for 1 min.
    Try to boot again, works.
    Now I think maybe I should try the CPU in the bad M9 again, this time holding the power button without any battery or power cord like with the good A9.
    Hopefully it will boot normaly like the A9 did.
    I just don't want to kill the A9 while trying to fix the M9.
    Can someone confirm it could be the CPU?

  • K7N2 Delta-L Long beeps after setting Bios!!

    Problem 1. After I save and exit Bios or even just exit the bios,the pc will not do anything other than have a black screen and long beeps.
    If I turn off the power and then restart the pc,it boots ok.
    Problem 2. The clock keeps gaing 25 minutes each day but only when connected to the internet.
    Anyone have any thoughts?
    If I stop the time server service it still gains. :O

    I have the same problem on my K7N2 Delta-L system! The behaviour you describe doesn't happen every reboot, sometimes it also reboots normally. Sometimes I also get the problem described in the thread: "K7N2 Delta will not boot (blank, no beep)" - no boot, no beep, no video output. All this without overclocking.
    The leds on the D-bracket report it as being a RAM problem: "Memory Detection Test" (damaged or improperly installed memory module)
    My RAM is TwinMOS DDR400/PC3200 (with Winbond IC's), those are supported by the nForce2 SPP as listed on the nVidia site. I have purchased 2 seperate (but identical) 256MB DIMMs to operate in Dual Channel mode, which work, sometimes; sometimes the PC will boot in Single Channel mode (leaving me with 256MB available), other times in Dual Channel Mode.
    As they are not "matched" DIMMs, I ran a couple of cycles of memtest86 to check if they would operate in Dual Channel mode (when it would boot in DC mode), and of course, no errors.
    Some useful info:
    - I upgraded my BIOS to 5.2 and reset the BIOS settings to default + set FSB to 166Mhz +  switched off internal modem and audio.
    - XP 2600+ (166/333FSB)
    (the following shouldn't have any influence, but I'll include them for completeness sake)
    - GF4Ti4200 (VIVO)
    - SBLive value
    - 2 HD's on the primary IDE channel, CDR & DVDROM on secondary IDE channel

    Ah, how I wish HW manufacturers would thoroughly test and debug their products (that includes the BIOS) prior to releasing it to the public - it can only harm their reputation.

  • CD's no longer detected by computer after failed import into iTunes

    I had been successfully importing CD's into itunes for a long time. On this particular occasion, itunes only imported part of a CD and then froze. Since that time, my computer cannot detect the presence of CD's at all. While the drive itself shows up, it will not play music CD's or read data CD's. Strangely, it will still play DVD's from the same drive. I have tried all of the troubleshooting steps I know to do. I'm bewildered as to where to go from here. Some expert advice would be greatly appreciated!

    My Micro must be hooked up with Windows Media Player instead of Napster To Go. I dont know how this happened. I really need some help here. I am no longer getting that MPT window that asks what I want to use for my music, Napster or Windows Media Player. Anybody?

  • KM3M-V wont boot error code 1 long beep two short

    As above but after the 1 long beep and two short beeps it gives off 2 deeper tone beeps! Is it the onboard graphics card thats at fault? if so I'll need to get the m'board replaced, have tried different ddr memory and no difference, processor is an Athlon 2400+ XP
    Cheers

    Its a PC I've built for a friend, no bios or hardware update had been performed all he did was come in one night and turned it on, and it did that, it has 512Mb DDR 2700, Athlon 2400+ XP and uses everything onboard eg sound and graphics, no it doesn't have a d bracket unfortunatly! Have tried disconnecting all the drives and even swapping the memory and it still gives the same code.
    how long has your friend had the system? did he do anything to it before it started doing this?
    you say you swapped the memory, does the system have two sticks, if so try just one on its own. if you only have one stick in it, then try some memory out of another machine. do you have an AGP card you could try? maybe some nasty dust is settled inside AGP slot, try blowing out with air duster

    Also, sometimes the my PC will go to sleep mode on its own and when I press the button to get it out of sleep mode, it will not go out of sleep mode.  What is the cause of this and how can it be solved?
