[SOLVED] disable beeping at startup?

[Edu2k]

my dell laptop beeps at startup because it has a defective battery, however it works fine, the only problem i have is with the beeping. is there a way to disable it without solving the battery problem? i was thinking of unplugging the audio thing from the laptop since i use headphones but im not sure if the beeping uses the same audio thing

Are you sure the beeping at startup is caused by the battery? I have this issue at times (my laptop's an HP Elitebook 8470p) and I found out that (in my case) it's because of my faulty laptop keyboard with a few stuck keys. Those stuck keys being "pressed" make those sounds at startup. It usually stops when I press another key like the spacebar. And every time I randomly (and intentionally) press a key on startup, it does make a beeping noise for each time that key is pressed.

If that is the case for you too, maybe you can try finding out what the stuck key(s) is/are (you can go to a site like keyboardchecker.com, leave your laptop for a while and wait if a stuck key gets "pressed") and then try cleaning the stuck key(s), or cleaning your whole keyboard, or even replacing the keyboard if those didn't work. Temporarily, you can disable the stuck key if it's a key you don't generally use like the "home" or "insert" keys. I use a program called KeyTweak for that.
