I attempted to boot it and the bios produced a sequence of 5 short beeps followed by a gap. This sequence repeated four times and then stopped.
The power LED continues the sequence visually.
The monitor reveals a blank screen.
Key board and mouse and connected.
The HP site says "not all beep codes are listed" which is a curious but true statement.
I'm confident that this forum includes beep code experts!
The graphics dept appears to be integrated into the mother board.
The bios battery gives a correct EMF of > 3.0 Volts. (I was hoping the battery had died of neglect)
I have reseated the RAM.
Help would be much appreciated!
