remove the memory and gently clean it very well and then connect it back to motherboard. if got long beep then memory damage.(replace memory) if got tree short beeps, clean the video card and connect it after cleaning if got same beeps ( then replace video card) thats only only things. Good luck.

Try reseating the memory first. then if that doesn't work, try different known good memory. Also try reseating the CPU. make sure this is no dust in the memory slots and the CPU slot as well. Make sure you only have the connectors from the power supply going into the motherboard and don't have any drives hooked up so this way you can make sure its not a drive causing the beeps.

If you have a video card reseat that as well. If after all of this you have no luck, then the motherboard is bad.

SOURCE: continuous short beeps on power up.Then shuts down

enter bios setup and check the temperature of your mobo and cpu if it's above normal and also check the cpu fan's speed if theres no problem with these three then try to remove all the expansion cards you have then reset the memory modules if the beeping continues try a different PSU and memory modules.

Water damaged Laptop

Attaching an external keyboard does not help because the keyboard controller is damaged.
I recommend you put your money towards a new laptop as the cost of repair maybe too expensive or beyond repair. Most computer repair shop charge for a quote and may drop this charge if you go ahead with the repair.
If the hard disk is OK then I suggest you remove it from the laptop and insert it into an USB hard drive adapter case and use it as an external USB hard drive for backups and data transfer etc.

Any help for beeping acer laptop when opening..thanks

g'day!

i would like to know how many and the kinds of beeps? there are what they call beep codes which indicates what kind of problem the your laptop is experiencing: here are the common ones:

0 beep = no power, loose card, short
1 short beep = normal,POST (Power On Self Test), your computer is ok
2 short beeps = POST error, review screen for error code.
continuous beeps = no power, loose card, short
repeating short beeps = no power, loose card, short
1 long, 1 short beeps = motherboard issue
1 long, 2 short beeps = video issue
1 long, 3 short beeps = video display circuitry
three long beeps = keyboard/keyboard card error
one beep, blank, incorrect display = video display circuitry

aside from the 1 short beeps, you need to take your laptop to a technician to have it looked at.

cheers mate!

On startup there is 4 beeps then 2 then nothing. The laptop belongs to my grandouther.the power coard was frade,so my guess is that's where the problem started.

Beep codes are used by the BIOS during the POST to report certain initial system errors.
If you're hearing beep codes after you turn your computer on, it typically means that the system has encountered some kind of problem before it was able to display any kind of error information on the monitor.
Follow the steps below to determine what system problem the beep code is representing.
Difficulty: Average Time Required: Anywhere from 10 minutes to a few hours depending on the cause of the beep code Here's How:
  1. Power on the computer or restart it if it's already on.
  2. Listen very carefully to the beep codes that sound when the computer begins to boot.
    Restart your computer if you need to hear the beeping again. You're not likely to make whatever problem you have worse by restarting a few times.
  3. Write down, in whatever way makes sense to you, how the beeps sound.
    Important: Pay close attention to the number of beeps, if the beeps are long or short and if the beeping repeats or not. There is a big difference between a "beep-beep-beep" beep code and a "beep-beep" beep code.
    This is all important information that will help determine what issue the beep codes are representing.
  4. What steps you take to solve a particular beep code will differ depending on the BIOS manufacturer.
    Choose the correct beep code troubleshooting guide below based on your motherboard's BIOS manufacturer:
    Tip: Not sure what brand of BIOS is on your motherboard? See this How to Determine Your Motherboard BIOS Manufacturer guide for some helpful advice.

When i push the power button on my amilo xi1554 all the lights come on and you can hear it starting up but after a few seconds it shuts itself down and then turns itself back on and it keeps repeating this

i had the same problem and found it was a virus.
i had to reinstall the operating system and unfortunatly this meant losing all data on the laptop, but i was lucky that all was backed up on external hd.

Shutting down

hi there,
You have not mentioned much about the problem.
But it indicates a strong possibility of overheating.
Thats a safety feautre employed to prevent components getting burnt.
You may try going in bios and look for details.Some bios have information about recent failures.
also some motherboards beep next time its powered on.
also you might get a mesg on the screen just after you power on,saying that system shut down last time due to thermal heating.
hope all this helps
