rare · 10-01-2009, 08:24 AM

I have a problem with Fujitsu siemens Scaleo 600 PC, keyboard don't work, when I switch it on I see Fijitsu screen and commands F2 (to enter bios) and F12 (boot) and 2 short beeps > I can't enter in bios when I press F2 only 4 short beeps, there is corrupted windows xp installation on it so I can't even install a fresh copy of windows because I can't hit Enter when boot screen says ''press any key to start boot from CD'' only again 4 short beeps. keyboard is connected to PS/2 port. I don't have any keyboard to connect to USB port.keyboard is working I tested on another computer. what should I do? please someone help.

If that's the Scaleo 600 Media Center PC ( http://uk.ts.fujitsu.com/rl/services...20600.htm#bios ) they say to press Del during boot for Bios access.

2 beeps in Award Bios usually means Ram issues - reseat your Ram or try one stick at a time.

yes it is look the same on your link but I don't know why I see F2 to enter BIOS , but I tried Del I heard only beeps when I click on any keyboard button...I reseated RAM and tried one stick at a time and replaced in different ways but problem the same > 2 beeps on boot. I even replaced the battery. maybe motherboard is dead or RAM ? or should I remove some of my hardware like sound card Audigy 2 and test again, is this worth it ?

Try a Bios reset - shut down, pull the plug, press the ON button, then pull the CMOS battery and leave it out for 15 minutes.

Then reverse.

OR is that the battery of which you spoke?

In that case, pull ALL unecessary hardware and try booting to Bios.

If you can't get there, you can't get anywhere!

seems dead end to me, I did all that you have mentioned , pulled CMOS battery, removed all hardware.. 2 beeps anyway and can't get in BIOS. well I noticed that when I press F2 > I hear 3 beeps and for pressing Del I hear 5 beeps. is that says anything?

If your Ram is shot you won't be able to get into Bios.
