I purchased this laptop in May of 2011, its been great, had some cooling problems off and on but otherwise I love this laptop. Randomly the 7 beeps started one morning. It seemed to want to boot up, but the screen stayed blank and after 20 seconds the beeping started. I started researching how to fix it but havent found a straight answer, its either the processor, the motherboard, one of the chips etc....I did however find one quick fix without taking the laptop apart, I read that I needed to turn the laptop on, cover the vents and let it beep for 15-20 minutes or until hot to the touch before turning it off and then back on again. I was amazed that it worked. I thought I had my laptop living again, but as soon as it turned off for the evening the 7 beeps returned upon rebooting it the next day. I did the quick fix again and it worked again, giving me time to at least back up my hard drive onto my external. I am at a loss as to what I need to do now to fix it. Any suggestions? I am really disappointed because for as much money as this cost I expected it to last longer than it has.
