Not having much luck here. Customer brought in vanilla Compaq saying it
won't complete dialing in to ISP. But when trying to power it up I get a
1 long, 6 short beep code, nothing else. Don't see anything yet on
Google, anybody know what this is trying to tell me? I've done all the
usual reseating stuff, taking things out one at a time. Looking like
CPU/motherboard, but it seems there should be something on that beep
code somewhere.

which processor?

I'm at home now, the box is at the shop. Will have to dig into it to see
since there's no POST. Should have written the model number down before
calling it a night. But enough is enough for now.

Ah google what can you say: 1 long, 6 short beep code

Comes up with: http://www.mytechsupport.ca/links/beep.html
For an AST processor it claims "Unable to load interrupt vectors"

Yeah, I saw that too. It's not an AST, and even if it was, I'm not sure
how I'd go about loading interrupt vectors. I guess with a grain scoop:

Have to admit I haven't tried it. But with zero video, no post, I'd
guess the odds aren't good.

A little too much depth of info, getting overload. But I'm starting to
think 1 long, 6 short has something to do with Snow White and her
roommates. Still working on that theory.
