How many beeps do you get before they stop, beep codes can reference a number of things but you need to count them.If it is fairly continuous try taking the battery out (while it is powered off without the charging cable plugged in), then plug the charging cable in and turn it on. If that solves it then you have a faulty battery.If that doesn't solve it then you could have a faulty stick of RAM, your graphics card may be faulty, your hard drive may be faulty, as I say, without knowing how many beeps you have I cannot tell.You should be able to find out by searching the beep codes for your laptop make and modelThey should be the ones found here:http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/research/hints-or-tips/detail.page?&LegacyDocID=MIGR-67884

Whenyou connect the power adapter into the laptop, does the power LED lightup? If not then -The battery adapter or the adapter's power lead or the laptop's powersocket could be faulty.Check power adapter's DCplug that connects into the laptop power socket with a multi-meter, the voltageshould be slightly higher than the voltage that is printed on the label on thebottom of the adapter. If the voltage is zero or way below the voltage that isprinted on the label then the power adapter is faulty and needs to be replaced.If the adapter is OK thenconnect it to the laptop and power it up, then look at the power/batterycharging LED light and wriggle the power plug in the laptop's powersocket. If the power/battery LED light flashes and in a certain position thisLED light stays firm, then the power socket is either faulty or it has a drysolder joint where it is connected to the motherboard.This can be repaired but itrequires the laptop to be completely dismantled to get at this power socket andrepair. If you cannot DIY then I suggest you get a quote first.

Generally if you go to your Internet Network manager or right click on the bars or if that is missing then you may have to make sure that all information and icon are checked for showing on your desktop or in the tray. Select the options to show at desktop tray that will show at the right hand lower side of the system tray. Also because you may be setup for locating Networks when you start up automatically. Then it may not show up because the software does not need to find any Networks because your logged on already. If you have Internet then you are logged in. If not you will have to go to the manager section of Network setup and configure your network again.........John
