T400: unfamiliar beeping sound on startup

#1 Post by lawgilbert95 » Tue Jan 01, 2019 3:04 pm

I am trying to resolve an issue(s):

There are some unfamiliar beeping sounds emanating from my T400 Type 6475-E93.
Please see video:

referring to this webpage:
https://support.lenovo.com/sg/en/solutions/ht003558
It doesn't seem to be any of those listed here

I did not set any Supervisor Password, yet the logo appears
The Power On Password has been cleared

That list is not all inclusive. Mine emits five beeps, pauses and beeps five more times. I forget what that has to do with but RBS here told me how to turn it off, but I never have yet.

Your video will not play. The loading circle just continues around, and around, and around.

To me that sounds like a problem with the AC adapter or jack...as if someone was aimlessly unplugging and replugging it.
Thinkpad4by3's Law of the Universe.

The efficiency of two screens equally sized with equal numbers if pixels are equal. The time spent by a 4:3 user complaining about 16:9 is proportional to the inefficiency working with a 16:9 display, therefore the amount of useful work extracted is equal.

noted, with thanks, guys

just an addendum: the power adapter is working fine (ie no problems), and was not unplugged / re-plugged.

all suggestions / comments are welcomed. thanks again

Does anyone know what is the BIOS Manager (ie. brand) for Lenovo Thinkpad T400?
Thanks

Phoenix FirstBIOS Notebook Pro, I believe.

I don't know which is the actual version that runs on the T400, though.
