Was going to suggest the same thing. Stuck of failing keyboard? Do they have another one they can try?
it's a laptop, so no extra keyboard handy]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22641496 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 18:53:20 EDT Re: Fast repeated beep codes http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22641489 haroldo :

I'll take a shot in the dark. Could it be a stuck key on the keyboard?
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.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22641489 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 18:52:37 EDT Re: Fast repeated beep codes http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22640953 craig70130 : Was going to suggest the same thing.

Probably a software or driver issue.

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!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22639111 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 11:16:10 EDT
