| 22355 | 2001-10-23 06:13:00 | I recently had something occur that altered the start up so that it made beep noise.I contacted Gateway for assistance via email with as much detail as was possible.The reply was that silent boot mode had somehow become unenabled.Treatment to correct required me to press F1 as soon as the gateway logo appeared and this would open the Bios set up from that point I could access the menu to enable silent boot mode again enter press F10 save changes and exit to cure the noise.Sounds wonderful I thought,F1 does not appear to have any effect what so ever at the given point suggested.I felt it would be quicker to pose this question on here,thanks Dave. | Guest (0) | ||

| 22357 | 2001-10-23 09:37:00 | Do you have a 'Gateway' screen come up at startup? If you do, hold down F1 or press it repeatedly, and there should be a beep and you should enter the bios setup mode... well that's how I do it on mine :) | Guest (0) | ||
| 22358 | 2001-10-24 00:23:00 | Hi there The beeps are usefull in diagnosing errors in the instance that one day nothing happens when you power on but you get a methodical beeping noise from within the case. Rather than disabling the sound in the bios, how about unplugging the speaker inside the case ... so that if you wanted it back on to fault find, you can. GG |
