So I unplugged the ribbon cable, grabbed a usb keyboard and it nstantly.ĮDIT: let me also add that it reads the new ram as well.
#Alienware laptop m17x r3 eight beeps code#
But, I had forgot to plug in the keyboard ribbon cable in the process and I noticed it booted fine! Then I turned it off and replugged in the ribbon cable for the keyboard and it gave me the 2 beep error code again. What happened is that I was disassembling the laptop and reassembled again to try out to see if I have reseated the ram correctly. Recently I stumbled upon a fix accidentally, and this is really weird as I have NEVER seen this before when handling with computer hardware. I'm the boyfriend of Oliveballin and I would like to share my perspective on this bizarre case. So, I have literally tried everything from discharging the static electricity to buying new ram and it still doesn't want to boot without the 2 beep error code. Now, let me explain to you the bizarre part of this. With a bit of luck when you reboot beeps will disappear. You will know if this is successful if your laptop give 5 beeps when first booting up (RTC has been reset) Don't panic is supposed to do that.įorce shutdown laptop and restart, hit F2 and reset clock and date - Use the photo's you took earlier and make sure all setting are the same as before powerdrain, close and save BIOS setting. Then push in coin cell battery, reconnect main battery and then main power. Once battery is "Half hanging out" turn over laptop and press and hold power button for 30 secs (do it for 60 to be sure) With a fine screwdriver gently lift one side of the battery out, you will not be able to get it all the way out but if you do it right you wont need to, make sure not to touch any other metal parts while levering up battery. With the laptop turned over and rear cover off look to the bottom right corner hard drive, just about that you will see a coin cell battery.
Touch a nearby metal water tap to remove any residual current in your body. Open laptop and press and hold power button for 30 seconds. TAKE A PHOTO OF ALL SYSTEM BIOS PAGES FOR FUTURE REFERENCE If you do I recommend doing a complete power drain, it's a bit fiddly but do-able. From what Ive gathered so far is that its a BIOS issue, hence why your BIOS doesnt show. This means the laptop is not even detection the RAM. No picture (Black Screen) with repeating 8 beeps. Hi Oliveballin - So just to confirm, you get a continuous loop, two beep, stop, two beep, stop.
