LAPTOP FORUM

Hey,

I am wondering if someone could help me out.

When I startup my sony laptop (pcg-fx501) i only hear some bios beeps
(long-3xshort-long-3xshort). The screen remains black, the harddisk
starts not to run.

Can anyone tell the meaning is of this code (since i do not know what
bios beep language my computer speaks)? - And what to do to get my
laptop back to normal?

tnx,

S.

Probably memory problem, could be the memory is loose. You
could try taking it out of the socket and putting it back.

I think you may have AMI BIOS.

I tried it, but it did not work out. I also controlled the memory by
putting another card in it, but it dit not get any better.
