Hi Clive,
Are the bleeps at a steady pace or are they a mixture of fast and slow
ones, have pauses between them?
Do you have the exact model number, I suspect all of the Dell laptops
use the same code, but you never know.
This site might help http://www.bioscentral.com/postcodes/dellbios.htm
This is the only one with 7 beeps on that site.
1 - 4 - 1 - 1 RAM failure on data bits xxx of high byte on memory
bus Reseat the memory modules
So that would be (assuming I have understood it correctly)
1 beep - pause - 4 beeps - pause - 1 beep - pause - 1 beep
Regards
David

My brother's laptop (Dell Inspiron) fails to boot and gives 7 bleeps,
can anyone explain what these bleeps mean please. I know they are a
code indicating a fault, but what?
He is confused as 'Googling' it produces different answers, one of
which is a CPU fault. Any help would be appreciated and if it's
repairable.
I shall be seeing him tomorrow morning (Friday) if anyone can reply
tonight, many thanks.
