5.3.3.2 Self Test Beep Error Messages

In the event of a hardware problem that affects the display, the Notebook also
communicates errors via a series of beeps. These codes may be heard over the system's
speaker as three bursts of beeps. The interpretation of the beep codes is provided in
Table 5-3.

To recover from a self test error, try cycling power to the computer. Also, press
Ctrl-Alt-Esc to ensure that the Setup configuration is correct. In general, most of the
failures are associated with the Upper and Lower Electronics Boards and may require
board removal/replacement.

Try running PC-Doctor (Paragraph 5.4) if possible to verify the source of problem.
