I have an IBM R40e, a second hand. I've been using it quite well until 3 days ago when the volume just shut, I don't even hear the start-up tone. I usualy have speakers in and hardly ever remove them or fiddle with the plug. Restarting the computer doesn't help. i'm no pc wizard, so can anyone help using words i can understand?!!

SOURCE: blank screen ibm r40e

This is generally a memory problem. Remove the memory, and try them one chip at a time in each slot. If the memory isn't the issue, then try removing the battery and starting with the supply only. Both battery and memory can cause this, but the beep code is generally for the memory, no beeps with the battery. If both check good, then test the power supply with an ohm meter for the proper output. If these three check good, then the problem will lie within the motherboard, and you will need to take it in for a professional diagnosis in order to track down the exact problem area. You might also look on IBM's support site for the beep/sound error codes and any troubleshooting for the exact code you have.

SOURCE: Link for IBM R40e drivers and guidelines

Here's a link to IBM's support site for the R40 drivers. You can narrow down the list by choosing your operating system and other applicable categories. I recommend that you write down the address and also save it in your favorites for future use.

sounds like you have dust in the vents, try using a revers vac to blow through the vents and get the dust out.

Hi how can i increase volume on my blackberry 9000. Even on high volume setting there is no ringtone sometimes
Hi there

On your Blackberry menu, there's an icon that resembles a person's head that represents profiles. In the profiles menu, you can select the volume for the notifications you receive when messages or calls come in. Choose "Loud" to hear all notifications at an equal volume, equivalent to the maximum output possible.

Some ring tones just remain less audible than others even when they're set to maximum volume. If you've tried increasing the volume of your notifications but still can't hear the ringer sometimes, try downloading a custom ringtone from the Blackberry App Store.

When selecting a custom ringtone, choose something distinctive and hard to ignore. When previewing the tone, determine whether it seems louder or easier to hear than your existing tone. Download more than one tone and experiment throughout the day.

After you've downloaded custom ringtones, set your phone to use these ringers by going into the applicable notification profile. Select "Show Tunes" and open the media folder where you've chosen to save your downloaded tones. Select the ringer you want and click "Set as Phone Tune."

It has happen on some HP and Toshiba I know from experience where the hard drive causes the speakers to crackle. Not sure why, maybe not enough shielding.
