Hello again,

 

 

 

 Having a seriously rough time of it, huh? You can make it much easier if you just get a usb flash drive and then goto the driver's page for your laptop's model, the link I provided, find this file as I already stated earlier 'Bios version F.2E' and save it to the usb stick by left clicking this 'Bios version F.2E' file and then choosing 'save as' and then pointing it to the usb stick, okay? Don't change the file's name, just save it. Once it is saved, load it as per instructions. Forget about all of the other mumbo-jumbo, just follow the instructions and your laptop will be fine in no time.

Hello,

 

 

 

     I've been looking @ the beep codes but do not see anything which resembles or reflects your beep code. If you can please goto the link below and try to match the codes more precisely it may help.

Hello again,

 

 

       You're right, I think. . . .it's looping,  so is that 11 or 12 beeps after, the loop? I can't tell from the video.

No, don't count those. They're normal. It's all those ones that come after the initialization.

Hello,

 

 

                Just take your time and do it right. Once you figure out which code it is, it's all gravy! Gotta go! Be back in a.m.!
