When I type, the keys move but they do not stike the ink ribbon.

You probably have a broken solenoid cap. You will need to order the cap but I do not know who has a video or instructions to do it.

This is a list of ThinkPad Beep codes.
It appears you have a memory or motherboard problem, most likely a RAM problem. Try reseating the RAM modules, if this doesn't work, then remove the RAM and take them to your friendly computer repair shop to get them to test the RAM modules for you. If the RAM is faulty them replace.

At start the computer - 2x beep - what is that ?

Here is a good link I found on the web. You can click on link below.
Also I found Beep Code with descriptions. If you find this helpful, please rate me.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-on_self-test

I think a few OEM's have developed their own or use Phoenix or AMI beep codes, but for the most part motherboard manufacturers uses the IBM based ones because they are grandfathered in. Beep Code: Description of Problem: No Beeps Short, No power, Bad CPU/MB, Loose Peripherals One Beep Everything is normal and Computer POSTed fine Two Beeps POST/CMOS Error One Long Beep, One Short Beep Motherboard Problem One Long Beep, Two Short Beeps Video Problem One Long Beep, Three Short Beeps Video Problem Three Long Beeps Keyboard Error Repeated Long Beeps Memory Error Continuous Hi-Lo Beeps----------------------------CPU OVERHEATING
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the forum link below says Ram. Read on.

The meaning of beeps at boot depends on the BIOS that is installed. This will give you an idea, but my guess is you have a RAM problem. Try checking that it's properly seated, otherwise you could run a program like Memtest to confirm the problem. Pls rate me. Thanks and Good Luck.

IBM xseries 205, Model 8480-43X Memory upgrade an POST BEEP

Those beeps mean that your RAM is not functioning. Are you sure you got the right upgrade type. Sometimes it'll fit into socket but won't work because of speed. Or just try reseating the modules.

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.
