The WSOD, (white screens of deathh(sic))
a very rare thing, and the 2 beeps.
step one, dump out the huge battery and test with only AC power pack. battery this old are bad and short, remove it first. first things first rules.

rule 2, carbon14 dated by me at 2009 made, so the RTC coin cell battery
can be bad (pink bunny spec is 7 year design life)

rule 3 , If BIOS screen are ok, my guess no, WSOD'd.
2 beeps, the silly manual on it does not cover beeps.
beep codes very by model and year and are poorly documented.

i hate lenovo's I buy dell/hp we have real service manuals on our PC USA, by American and win.

or at least ASUS of Twain. (nationalists are cool)
Lenovo's chapter on troubleshooting is useless. for sure WSOD or any hard failures are not covered at all,....
The Infamous SOLDER BALL :ERA:

the WSOD might be the BGA, GPU chip solder failures.
back then they made millions of PC that must pass USA no solder lead rules, no Pb lead. and failed by the millions, 2008/200.

white-screens or worse lines on screen or dead.
twist the screen bezel gently does the screen change.
now do that to the base(GPU side) and does it change. if yes. think bad GPU chip BGA.
BGA = chip with ball grid array pins.
Do more tests?
see left side, see 15pin Dshell VGA port? connect this to a real monitor, VGA get better results? there is hot key for turning on both. page 12 in your manuals states and I quote:

"Press Fn+F3 to shift to other connected display devices."

just key doing that , every 10seconds to see if VGA wakes up.
on many PCs this Press, toggles as 3 or 4 ways below:
internal screen
VGA ext.
both
auto.

that is all I have, more tests are possible and more complex.

one more overheating, clean the vents of lint.
its got a decade of lint inside. so....

1: big battery out (leave out until PC works again)
2: new RTC coin cell, the old one is bad or near.
3: clean the lent out.
4: reseat ram sticks.
5: test with external monitor , VGA port.
6: do the long reset trick>?
a: big battery out,, ac pack unplugged. push power for 30
seconds, release.
b: put only AC power pack fully connected now, and test PC. beep still?

7: last test is complex, we unload the motherboard.
of all modules (any can short, is why)
and test the PC stripped down to near nothing.
see photo of HP stripped to zero.

http://www.pcdied.com/BIOS/blink-w-scr1.JPG

8: remove all ram sticks and test them all 1 by 1, in bamk 0 as the book on your pc shows for RAM population.
warning my PC has 2 top and 2 bottom raM BANKS.
on mine the keyboard off reveals bank 2(RTM is wise)

9:Ask real lenovo forum what 2 beeps mean?
fixya is not Lenovo.

The key to diagnosis, is know things short out, not just open connections like simple ram sticks can do.
(dirt caused on sticks.)

If I remember correctly, those speakers were supplied with some Gateway computers equipped with a digital soundcard, and the speakers take only digital input.

Take a look at the input plug and compare it to these:

If yours looks like the mono plug, your speakers will only work with the original digital card. Plug them into your new computer and you'll get nothing out of them.

3 orange flashes means flat battery. If you have a faulty charger or charger socket on the laptop then the battery wont charge or power up with just the charger connected.

I have Lenovo g550, bought in April Since a few days ago, I hear beeps every now and then, during the work. These beeps sound exactly like those two before booting up *always is 4 beeps in a raw, then a...

If these beeps aren't while booting up, then there is software program notifying you of something. It could be a system beep for just about anything and isn't easy to find without hands on.
You can do a little research on your own - checking your installed programs for notifications.
You can open your event viewer where everything your system does is recorded minute for minute (tedious but works) Problems show with either a yellow triangle with a ! in it or a red button. The program gives a short description - not detailed but it could give you an idea where to look.
It's difficult to assume anything with the limited information given but suffice to say, if you're in windows, it's not a boot issue.

Iam using Lenovo G550 today system is not booting screen totally blank all Led was on but system is not booting screen totally even hardisk, posser also not responding let me know what is the exact problem

Hi and welcome to Fixya!

If the issue with your machine is just caused by a glitch, try to do power drain.
1. First shut down the machine and unplug the adapter and take out the battery.
2. Press and hold the power button for 10 seconds.
3. Then put back the battery and plug back the adapter. Try to turn on the machine normally.

If this does not solve the issue, it could be caused by a problem with the motherboard. If your machine is in warranty (or even if its not), contact Lenovo warranty support on this number - 1 877 453 6686.

Hope this helps!

Hi Faiz,

It the battery is malfunctioning then you need to check if your machine is still in warranty and call the tech support hotline of Lenovo and ask for a replacement free of charge. However, Lenovo ships a replace to US, Austalia and New Zeland Address only. If your laptop is purchase from other country then you need to get intouch with the seller of your laptop

Lenovo Hotline: 1877-453-6686 or 1877-4LENOVO select Option 2
