    Hi everyone,

    I have a problem with may notebook. I have bought it a week ago, installed Windows XP Professional with all the needed drivers. Three days ago the problem with a single beep started. After my Windows load to the moment after "The Welcome Screen" and when I can choose which user will login, after pressing on the user's picture notebook gives a single loud and annoying beep. After I heard the beep for the first time I have restared my computer few times and there was no beep upon the startup. The second day when I turn on my notebook for the first time the beep sounded again. That day I turned on/off and restarted notebook for several times but there was no beep. And today again, upon the first startup there was a mysterious beep. Where is the problem? Could it be the problem with my windows installation or it could be a hardware issue? What should I do while my computer is still under warrenty? Should I wait to see wheater the problem will persist or should I return it and ask to replace it with a new one?

    Many thanks!

    P.S. Sorry about my english, I'm from Croatia

    heh, what about just don't bother and disable the laptop's speaker? I have the same problem on 5002 but I didn't find anything what could cause it, neither how to disable speaker.
