I got a hp 20-c020 all in one from a friend to keep. However when I turn it on before it boots it lets out a ear piercingly loud error code. It goes 3 long lower pitched beeps then 4 shorter higher pitched ones. It repeats 5 times then turns on like normal. I have taken it apart and unplugged the speakers. I have tried with and without anything plugged into it. The only think that I can think of is that I am not using an oem power cable. Would that effect anything? Is it something else? 

Thanks!

if you dig into the documentation for the AiO you'll probably get some exact notes about this (HP's pretty good with that, contrary to popular belief..) but a quick google search suggests that it's probably just a dead CMOS battery.

Ok I will try that and see what happens. Thanks!

I replaced the battery and no luck. Still the same issue. Where can I find the documentation for this AIO?
