Alienware 15R2 (No display, 8 MB beeps)

[longhornsace]

Performed a Battery Replcement in Alienware 15r2. Upon startup, screen doesn’t work and receiving eight motherboard beeps. If I remove memory, it changes to two motherboard beeps and still no screen. No burns on motherboard, no noticeable frayed connections. Tried to drain CMOS with no effect. It will also not run on an external video source.

Check out the links, and figured out the beeps, for example, error code 2000-0142 has a beep code of 142 which may be manifest by: 1 beep – pause - 4 beeps – pause - 2 beeps. http://www.dell.com/support/article/us/en/04/sln115162/resolve-hardware-issues-with-built-in-and-online-diagnostics--epsa-or-psa-error-codes-?lang=en
