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 an

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
