Hello,
I can't seem to boot up my HP Pavilion dv9051ea; it looks like it's starting, the fan runs and stops, the power light blinks, and we manage to turn it off completely with a long press. The PC beeps 4 times at startup, the screen remains black! I've connected an external display, I've tested by swapping the memory, removing the hard drive, disconnecting the BIOS battery, but in the end: still 4 beeps.. Thanks if you know why; thank you too if you read this without being able to give me an answer. Best regards.
Configuration: Windows XP

Good evening, sorry for the error in the title; it is a HP DV9000 laptop and not 900
thank you for your response, the keys on the keyboard are soft and respond correctly to touch, I can try unplugging the "pad" to see what happens. One other thing I forgot; the cable that connects the board to the sound control panel (quik play) above the keyboard is damaged, I had the 4 beeps before unplugging it and I still have them after unplugging it (maybe it's a BIOS check-up issue?
thank you anyway. Best regards.
