My parent's have a Hewlett Packard laptop.
Their computer beeps on boot repeatedly until they press the esc (I believe) button.
I found this beep list »docs.hp.com/en/AB216-90001/ch04s03.html document, but it doesn't list repeated (non-stop) beeping. The web page lists up to seven beeps.
I listened on a phone call and it is a fast high pitched beeping (like you're listening to morse code) rather than the "beep beep beep" like you'd expect.
Any clue what this is? (yeah, I know, time for a new laptop)
Thanks!

psafux Got Grep? VIP join:2005-11-10	Re: Fast repeated beep codes does it happen right before you login to windows? have had that happen on 2 or 3 different systems, never found a cause but a reload fixed it everytime. Probably a software or driver issue. -- Yes. the cat in my avatar is indeed mine.

When they press the esc key does it stop and finish booting up? Yes, to the esc key workaround, I called them and asked them to check the each key. I'll find out tomorrow.
