Hi, have Compaq Presario C500 laptop. New battery & AC. Receives charge.
Emits 2 quick beeps at start up. Can hear fan very briefly. Can see "compaq"
screen but can't use function buttton to do anything. Did see BIOS screen
once before Tech Support said to click OK. Hasn't popped up again. No longer
under warranty. Will reseat memory. Question is this: Do you think this
sounds like the video card or a BIOS error?
P.S.: I never had a blue screen with an error or a black screen with a
blinking cursor. Thanks for the input.
