When u power on laptop, at this time if it displayed any message to press any func keys….. u can try at least once, hold and press the left alt key and the func key(which it asks if so). check what next it asks for. Else it is better to register ur complain on dell website. At least their response is more better than other vendor / contact any HW expert. Generally Beep means either memory / vga error.
