Re: Upgraded memory in W3611. Won't start. Gives three...
Remove RAM(S), clean the ram slot by blowing air, fix RAM(s) back in position untill both the side clamps are properly locked.
If problem persists try resetting motherboard via jumper pins on the motherboard.

The three beeps tells you that something inside the system is not properly installed. Check all hardware installations and position properly all hardware not properly installed. If nothing is improperly installed, try cleaning the RAM with a piece of clean cloth and install properly.
Well if it's 3 short beeps then its a RAM failure. If its 1 long and two short then it;s a video monitor issue. 3 long beeps is a keyboard or keyboard card error.
Did you upgraded your BIOS after you have changed the MB?
Did you install memory ? if yes check if it was compatible.Check Beep codes from net search.
You may use two similar but different memory for a short time but end of it, you will get this beeps. Check it by removing one memory each time and try the laptop, Make sure in process time, remove the battery and plug off power, otherwise you will demage the MB.
IF NOT you need to obtain (Or if you have ) OEM CD or order from HP to reload programs,
Mean time I also suggest, Remove the hardisk and with a niddle try to bring springs on from Hardisk Caddy connector. Do Not know how to do it? See techy.
Goodluck

Clear CMOS/ Remove battery for 10 minutes, reinstall battery & wait for another 10 minutes before turn on. Three Beeps means RAM is defective/ not detected.
