Dell :: Dreaded 7 Beeps On Inspiron M5030

I bought my Inspiron M5030 last November 2011. It lasted until December 29th 2012. I not only have many pictures and documents, I also have M$ Office and One Note, that I used as my primary phone contact list and password keeper.

I have used Dell desktops at the college I used to attend. The reason I chose Dell for my laptop was the good reputation that I thought Dell had.

Now I have a doorstop!!  I also have phone numbers of my State Attorney General's office.

I am going to get the HDD out of the dead laptop and transfer my programs and data to a different, i.e. Not Dell, laptop.

At the moment, I am using a 6+ yr old desktop that has been used as a collector of items and even a coffee stand for my coffee maker.
