Let's start with the most overlooked reason. Sounds like the battery died. Is your laptop's battery fully charged. Plug it in over night and give it a good chance to recharge the battery. Then turn on your laptop WITH the power cable attached. Did this solve your problem? If not we'll go to the next step.

    OK next step. Can you get into the BIOS? If you can check and see if all the hardware is recognized. Check for the memory.

    3 long beeps you say? With the AMI BIOS, which I missed he first time, indicates "memory" failure with the 2 or 3 beeps.

    Your computer has memory problems. First check video. If video is working, you'll see an error message. If not, you have a parity error in your first 64K of memory. First check your SIMM's. Reseat them and reboot. If this doesn't do it, the memory chips may be bad. You can try switching the first and second banks memory chips but you'll need another chip. First banks are the memory banks that your CPU finds its first 64K of base memory in. You'll need to consult your manual to see which bank is first. If all your memory tests good, you probably need to buy another motherboard.

If you cangatehr this much of information you are no less than a computer engineer. Nobody needs to build a car to change its tyre. If you arrange a spare HDD and RAM, remove the original HDD and try to install windows on that. And if problem persists do the same with RAM also. I am sure you could solve this problem yourslef.

My ECS A530 laptop displays only green vertical lines. can someone please help?

Sounds like you have a bad LCD screen, hook up a computer monitor on the video output located on the back of your Laptop, if the monitor produces a nice clean picture, suspect the LCD screen on your Laptop.
