I have a laptop that starts making a continuous tone when it's turned on. I
have tried removing all PCMCIA cards and it doesn't help. Sometimes the tone
has little variations in it - sounds a bit like a modem, but there's no
modem built-in to the machine. It continues to boot up, and stops making the
noise when Windows 98 starts up, so it seems that a Windows 98 audio driver
is overriding the noise the computer is making. The machine then crashes.
Booting to 98 safe mode leaves the tone going. Anyone got any ideas of what
I can look for? Loose component? Broken board? Anything?
