I have a i3147 Dell, I bought a New Dell Motherboard for it (N3530) and while *everything works just fine* I get this beep code during EVERY boot up (5 short beeps, it's very loud). I've put in a new CMOS battery, restored back to factory settings, updated it (everything on it works perfectly) except the noisy bothersome beep code upon boot up.
I've done all the hardware troubleshooting I can - nothing hinky has shown up, ran Dells pre-boot testing on all of my components, it never shows anything. It has to be a hardware problem but I'm flummoxed on the what and where. Troubleshooting 5 beeps means motherboard or battery, right? At this point I'm gonna rip the MB out and redo the heatsink paste cause that's the only other thing I can think to do at this point.
Help! Cause at this point, I'm gonna ditch this laptop and buy a new one, which makes me want to cry, there's nothing wrong w this one, it works just fine!
Any help would be appreciated, thanks guys!
Ps - I'm a Nanny I simply cannot have this very loud beeping waking up my charge every time she goes down for a nap and I open my laptop.
