i just want to find the problem everyone is telling me the problem is from memory or the motherboard .
So I have this laptop, and when you try to power it up, it shrilly beeps but nothing else. I am being told it is the CPU, could it be something else? My warranty is long gone on this.

The laptop is in perfect condition (no drops/spills/never had a virus)
Earlier today I pressed the "fn" key and quickly pressed all the "f1 through f12" buttons when i turned on the power and It worked but after about 40 minutes i put the computer to sleep the problem started again. The "fn" thing did not work anymore even after numerous times...

I connected it to an external LCD and it works. the problem is that I am on the biz trip right now and this beeping sound really annoys me (until I solve this problem by replacing LCD or buying a new lap top). How to kill this beeping sound temporarily?

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen the laptop is on and I pick it up to move it I would often hear a loud CLICK sound coming from the HD. It had me freaked out that something was loose or that the heads were scratching the platters.
I just came across an article explaining what this noise has been. It is the sound of the read/write heads parking because of the "Sudden Motion Sensor" built into the laptop. It senses the rapid movement when I pick up the laptop and then it parks the heads to prevent scratching the platters... that is the click sound of the heads parking.
The sensor is a tri-axis accelerometer that detects sudden changes in "position and accelerated movement".
Anyways, I tested this to see if it was the "sudden motion sensor" parking the heads:
- first I confirmed that the sound would still occur when picking up the laptop and tilting it quickly while still on
- then I checked the sensor's settings to see if it was really on by running a command I found in the linked article.
- then I turned off the sensor (that command is also in the article).
- then I tested by picking up the laptop again and tilting it quickly...
no more CLICK
I enabled the sensor again because it is better to have it enabled than to risk scratching a platter if I drop the laptop. I'm just happy to have found the source of the CLICK and to know it wasn't a faulty HDD.
Here is the article:

I usually turn my volume really low or even mute it before shutting down my mbp, and when I turn on my mbp, the startup chime will be as loud as that volume level.
Yesterday, I used onyx to clean up some of the preferences,etc. Now, it doesn't matter if I mute the volume before shutting down, the start-up chime will always be there at the same level.
I rather not download the startup sound preference program if i really dont have to.
I have a very annoying problem with my W530. When i'm using it in the docking station (last years version without usb 3.0) erverything works fine, but there are a few very loud sound cracks playing through my external speaker system. Without the dock with the buildin speakers no problem. My external speaker plugged in the headphone jack no prob either.
These loud sound cracks appear when a few seconds no sound is played and then when a new sound starts to play. So i guess it has something to do with some power saving mechanism in the realtek sound chipset. When a continues sound is played like a song no sound cracks are happening.
My wife got this HP G60-120us notebook computer. It's about two years old now. I'm planning on getting her a new laptop so I can get this one. The only thing that I really do not like about this laptop is the freakin mouse button. It's so loud and clicks so loud as well. What I'm using now is my old Dell laptop and I love the mouse button so quiet and smooth unlike the HP. Is there anyway to make this sound quiet? Like open it up and spray some WD-40? J/K, is all HP's like this?

I've been researching why this laptop died so young and found this thread! I am a long time buyer of Dells and I am so upset that this laptop is barely 2 years old and already having such detrimental issues!!!
The laptop is out of warranty but a Dell laptop should not have such a major issue so young! 40 pages of the same issue?!?! Something needs to be done about these m5030s!!!

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a quick question about my Dell Inspiron M5030. The screen display has died on me, plugging in an external vga source works fine, and if you look very carefully you can still see some of the (very dim) display on the laptop screen.
Now i'm sure its the typical inverter board gone situation, trouble is i cant find the inverter board!? I thought i had found it behind the screen, but turns out its the web cam! Does this model has an inverter board? Or do i need to replace the entire screen? Or do i just need to replace the LCD screen cable? I wasnt sure if that did the same thing as the inverter board!
I am having issues with my touchpad not working, I have gone through most of the troubleshooting tips such as hitting touchpad enable/disable hotkey, turning of the laptop and holding down the power button for 15 seconds, and downloading the suggested driver. The most distressing thing is that when I go the mouse hardware/driver, the only thing that the computer is recognizing is the usb mouse I am having to use.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a Inspiron M5030 laptop and the touchpad is not working. It only works with a wired mouse hooked up to the USB port. The Device Manager only showed the USB mouse. I reinstalled the dell touch pad from the Dell Drivers and Utilities DVD thinking the file may have been corrupted and the file was overwritten. It shows thw file in my C drive but has the message "Dell Touchpad Configuration cannot run withoutvxdif.dll properly installed. How do I go about reinstalling this folder or where do I go from here.

There have been no other errors or performance issues until now. When she tried to reboot, the laptop just gave 7 loud beeps over and over.

After browsing this forum I've found a lot of people have had the 7 beeps on start up issue with the M5030.
It seems that the 7 beeps on startup with a black screen, means a dead motherboard, which is sad as we just made the final payment on this Inspiron m5030 last month. I tried the "remove the battery/drain the residual power", that was suggested with no change.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI 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.
My Inspiron 15R N1510 laptop emits a series of 5 shorts beeps, evenly spaced, on start-up. It repeats this until the startup music plays and then stops. Everything seems to run fine and I ran the diagnostics and it passed all of the tests. I am not sure how to make it stop beeping..
