Alienware m17x Beeps 2 Times when Starting up Plugged in
Hello my name is Justin Amaral and I own a Alienware M17x. I just recently updated my bios and disabled the beep on bootup but my laptop still continue to beep.
Important Notice: I am a college student and I can't bring my laptop to class because it beeps when I start it. Several teachers have made me not bring it in due to this so I really need this to be gone ASAP.
Issues when turning on Laptop :
1. Laptop Beeps Twice when I start up and it is plugged into the wall. I also took out the battery so I wouldnt ruin it. Bios + Beep Disabled
2. Laptop Beeps Twice with battery in it and plugged into wall. Bios + Beep is also Disabled
3. Laptop Beeps Twice with just battery. Bios + Beep is also Disabled

Hey, The beeps are a code to tell you that a piece of hardware has failed and the amount of beeps refer to a different piece. according to the alienware manual 2 beeps is RAM Not detected this could either be simply that a piece of ram has failed or all of your ram has failed or Your ram slots are faulty in which case you would need a new motherboard. If still in warranty, Contact dell and they will replace the part for you. (Before that, Check to see all of your RAM is in the slots properly). I am sorry i could not be of much help.
