HP Vectra vl400

I have an HP vl400 that is giving some unusual beep codes and will not
start. The HP site does not offer support any longer so I am asking for
help.

It gives a series of beeps (five fast beeps x 3) followed by two slower
beeps. I have not been able to find any documentation on these online or on
Google.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks Mike,

I did not see my particular beep code(s) in this information. But I do
appreciate your help! The code(s) I hear goes 5,5,5,2. The fives are in
sets and are very short and fast while the last two and slow and longer
beeps. Reminds of a cell phone ringing with a special ring pattern (if that
makes any sense).

I couldn't find any info on a 5-5-5-2 beep code, so I can't
really advise you how to proceed; it could be anything.

 

Maybe asking at one of these groups? Just a suggestion.

comp.sys.hp.hardware
alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.*
alt.comp.hardware
comp.sys.*

 

Thanks!

You're welcome.

 

I know that this message is SO old, but I have the same problem that Roger post at #1, the same beep kinda cellphone ring, I move the switch 3 to the ON position and download the BIOS files to update and, nothing! I'll appreciate that if Roger could resolve this problem tell me what I have to do, thnx a lot!!
