My Dell Computer is Beeping. HELP

[Crazy_guy_757]

Idk what the issue is. And the motherboard is a Dell REV A02 (I think)

 

Beep Pattern: 1 beep, pause, 3 beeps, pause, than 2 beeps

 

Does anyone know what the issue is?

 

Also Here is a picture of the motherboard ---> http://imgur.com/4baetD1

 

Thanks in advance.

I'd suggest you look into the Manuel for the computer.

This means the bios chip has died, you'll need to either RMA your board to have the BIOS chip replaced or buy a new motherboard.

What does Manuel have to do with this?  Which Manuel are you talking about?

The one that makes burritos.

Couldn't they just send him the freaking BIOS chip?  Also I thought I heard of people getting blank chips and then writing a BIOS to them.  Am I wrong?

The old BIOS chip will have to be carefully removed & the new one carefully soldered to the motherboard.

You'll need appropriate soldering equipment and skill to do that.

Also soldering anything to the motherboard immediately voids the warranty.

You're probably better off replacing the motherboard, although good luck with a dell.

 

Are you still in warranty, so you can send it back to them?

 

Edit; Just looked at the picture, jesus christ that's a mess.

I've misspoken so far, apologies.
The BIOS ROM is fine, one of your RAM modules is either faulty or installed incorrectly.

Give your chassis a good cleaning, then uninstall the memory modules and reinstall them again, could be the dust accumulation that's causing the issue.

Oh crap I feel stupid as I got mixed up with the CMOS battery. LOL
