i have a 1510 terminal that when i go to boot it up i get 3 beeps continuously. i tried reseating the ram, changed power supply tried almost everything can someone help me please.
 
Do you get any video display? Beeps usually indicate a video or memory error. Send it in for repair.
 

What type of video do you get.
eg....
screen just gets bright
memory test show
It boots, but just beeps are annoying.

Did you remove 1/replace/test/swap memory or ram.
 
i get the mem test to show. It goes just before it shows the windows loading screen then either reboots or does the 3 beeps. i removed ram and reseated it, i even booted without any ram, and removes battery to reset bios. Is there another way to reset bios, there seems to be no jumper to reset the bios. thanks
 
Safety :- Always before work
:power off
:-Unplug from wall
:-Wait 10 secs


Remove hard disk power cable
powered on. Leave for awhile
ok 1 (system stays up with boot error of some sort)
no 2
1 swap hard drive with another working unit.
ok finished
no 2
(leave in good disk as bad memory could have caused data error)
2 Swap memory or
try 1 memory chip at a time.

Other then that you have to send it in for repair
as you can not order the other parts whatever they maybe.
If you dont have another drive then you would to load the OS as you would any other pc.
