5 BEEPS AT STARTUP IN DELL INSPIRON N 5110

5 BEEPS AT STARTUP IN DELL INSPIRON N
5110

Hello,

I am using a DELL INSPIRON N5110 , 2nd
gen Intel core i5 ,4GB RAM,1GB NVIDIA
GT525M graphics card,640GB HDD and
Windows 7 Home premium.My laptop was
functioning properly for 1 year but I had
a serious misfortune last Saturday. My
laptop fell down to the tiles floor from my
cot ( approx 45cm depth) . After
repositioning I tried to boot the laptop
which had gone off. It booted with 5
continuous beeps, the sound of which
decreases in intensity when the welcome
screen appears. But the sound still
persists. You know how much annoying is
it to have! I did a thorough system
checkup and diagnostics which turned out
to be normal.All components worked
properly, I played FIFA 12 , watched some
movies and accessed the internet. The
only problem I find is that the caps lock
indicator is not working now. I tried to
contact the DELL helpline that day itself
but I couldn’t reach them as the call got
disconnected all the time. When finally I
got the line, I told them my problem and
they finally told me I’ll have to get my
motherboard replaced which will cost
INR11,000 . very sadly, my laptop
warranty had just expired two days prior
to the accident. When I went through
various forums and communities, I got an
idea to do a battery flea and after that
the beep disappeared. Unfortunately the
beep came back after sometime, still 5 in
number !! I also got an info that there
could be some issues with the CMOS
battery which can be replaced. I am
totally desparate , because after spending
a lot of money on the laptop now I’ll have
to spend more bucks on it . I need all
your help regarding this issue and want
your advice in doing that is necessary. I
have these set of doubts


1. Will the CMOS battery replacement
resolve my issue ?
2. Will any other parts of my laptop
malfunction in the future?
3. Will I have to replace my
motherboard ?
4. Can I show my laptop to som
e local
service agency?
5. Is there any provision to get the
motherboard replaced in warranty ?

Please help me swiftly with your valuable
comments
