Hello, I have a packard bell laptop (year 2009, SNID : 91101474149). When i push power button, bios emits two short beeps. I've no display on the screen (it's off), the DVD player seems to work because i feel he is trying to boot a cd ... I try a clear cmos by removing the cmos battery all-night, remove RAM, remove wifi card, HDD, but no success ... I have the same result : 2 beeps ... It seems my motherboard has no cmos jumpers. Sorry for my english Thanks for your help.
Have you tried pressing the <F2> key? 2 beeps usually means an unspecified error, and the error is displayed on the screen. If that doesn't work, you might have bad RAM.
Sorry, Packard Bell EasyNote SL51, for the bios, i don't know, it's not my laptop. A friend gave it to me for repair it if possible. I think but i'm not sure, it's Phoenix or Packard Bell
Thanks but I already looked this page and if you see post #4, I test new RAM modules and I have the same problem. Maybe that comes from connectors, but it would be surprising
Do you even get video? I guess not. Then I'd say it's either the memory, video or an unknown POST error. Take out the battery and power cord, hold the power button for 30-40 seconds then plug in just the power cord and power on. Also, leaving the battery out all night will not clear the CMOS. That's what a CMOS battery is for. The above trick should clear it for you.
From my knowledege of PBells easynotes the have a known issue with the power modules they are seperate from the motherboard and I have personally seen this problem on other easynotes so I would guess you have a bad internal power board its complete strip down to replace. Also if the RAM or ramports are bad you need to check with a known working Ram module to eliminate one or other, cos the PB will not POST and give you a false Diagnosis
I've no display on the screen (seems to be off) ... I already tried your method before created this thread In my first post, I explained that I've removed the CMOS battery, not the battery. I think you do not understand my first post Maybe it's my fault ... @supaduper : I already tested with new working RAM modules (see post #9).
Why don't you take the Laptop to get an evaluation then write back here. When I was younger I'd pay to get my broken laptops & computers evaluated then repair it myself, because it wasn't too expensive
