Dear there,

Please help.
One of our employee brought a Satellite A80 to the field work for year. Now there was a problem booting up and he brought back to a Central Office. When I did a basic analysis, found out that there is 10 beeps at the very beginning of booting process then the screen goes blank. The main power switch led stays blue, no HDD led. I took out the memory, also replace with other. Still remaining the beeps.

Do you have any clew about this issue please?
Thank you and regards,

Is there a pattern with the beeps ie: long short short long etc.
First off, I would remove the battery, remove the memory access panel on the bottom, and make sure that the memory model is seated properly.
This should help:

Thank you for your reply Saugen48,

I reseated the memory for many times, I thought that would be memory caused this issue but still did not help.
Now, there was no beep sound at all, as I boot it up as normal, it appears blank screen with only sound of CPU fan. I would say the mainboard faulty. Do you have idea relating to this please? Is it possible to fix this?

Thank you and regards,

If there are two memory modules, just try booting with one. If nothing happens, try just the other one to make sure one of them is not faulty
