| 607130 | 2007-10-31 23:54:00 | Hi I have an Acer Aspire (bought beginning 2006) which was going fine until I sent it home by courier. Now when I try to start it all it does is beep once then after about three seconds it beeps again. It just keep doing this, Nothing else. Any ideas what this beeping means and how I can fix it??? |

| 607134 | 2007-11-01 01:04:00 | Is this beeping the code for Memory Error? What bios do the acer aspire have? | GaryW (10329) | ||
| 607135 | 2007-11-01 05:22:00 | Whats the model number? | stormdragon (6013) | ||
| 607136 | 2007-11-01 06:24:00 | Dont Know if this is of any help - if you can find the make of BIOS, try Here BIOS codes (bioscentral.com) on the top right is different models of BIOS along with their Beep Meaning. Also is the CPU / heatsink and Graphic Card ( if it has one) seated correctly |

| 607137 | 2007-11-01 06:53:00 | The model is Acer Aspire T135. It has ati 9200 agp graphics card, 512 RAM, AMD Sempron 3100+ CPU. It was going when sent by courier from Nelson and not going when it arrived in Wellington.:badpc: | GaryW (10329) | ||
| 607138 | 2007-11-01 07:20:00 | Wont be of much help, but according to Acer specs the BIOS is R02 - A4 or B4 if you wanted a flash for the BIOS thats easy to find :D looking at the site provided above every thing points to the RAM. Repeating (endless loop) Memory error Check for improperly seated or missing memory. What I suggest is remove the RAM and then replace it, do the same with the Graphic Card, blow out any dust/dirt thats in the slots. Check all power cables and data leads are secure - check the CPU / heatsink has come lose or unseated. Is there any sign of damage / drop marks/ scuffs etc on the packaging while it was shipped. |

| 607139 | 2007-11-01 07:30:00 | No signs of damage on the packaging at all. I'll get onto reseating Ram and video card and checking ALL cables. Thanks for the advice GUYS!:eek: | GaryW (10329) | ||
