Well crap

So on Saturday, my cat spilled water in my laptop. After taking apart the keyboard, and letting it dry for 3 days, it can finally boot up. Thank God it still works.

However, something is bothering me. Upon start up, it gives, me 5 high pitched beeps, can someone tell me what that means?

Thanks for that. It seems to be a process failure. Understandable since water got in it. I'm just lucky it wasn't hardware failure.

I guess it would depend on your lappy's manufacturer.

See, those beeps probably mean some low-level problem or something that you just haven't happened to stumble across whilst messing around on your computer. But the beeps could mean different things depending on the company who made it.

For instance, my ancient Gateway Pentium II will sometimes give me a long beep, followed by two short beeps. Then, the monitor will never turn on, giving me the hint that something video-related has gone awry in the deep crevices of the computer (damn cobwebs, probably).

So, the best you can do is either continue usin' the lappy and hope you never have the misfortune of finding out what those beeps mean, or you could look them up.

Edit: I've been beaten to it. Curse my long-winded solutions.

    @Veho, where's the poll at?
  • Veho @ Veho:
    https://anbernic.com/blogs/news/get-your-game-on-meet-the-anbernic-rg-cube
  • Julie_Pilgrim @ Julie_Pilgrim:
    they're giving the internet an open text box?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I never played or own any of they devices, but I like small style, but with a somewhat grip
  • Julie_Pilgrim @ Julie_Pilgrim:
    oh man, that always goes great!
  • Julie_Pilgrim @ Julie_Pilgrim:
    im sure half the responses won't be literal racial slurs or "drop table" jokes
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Look, it's China. They know what it's like when you give a poll to half a billion trolls.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    How much dollar do you think it is?
  • Veho @ Veho:
    ONE MILLION DOLLA
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I know the pricing of electronics nowadays isn't "how much it actually costs" but "how much we can get away with", but putting up a poll is just cynical.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Probably $150 someone said Anbernic said around the same price as rg556
  • Julie_Pilgrim @ Julie_Pilgrim:

    that game's engine is really fucking intensive so it runs like literal shit on xbox 360 and ps3
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Nah I'm getting value creep again. I look at a $50 console "but for just a few more dollars you could get XYZ" and I end up considering the Steam Deck.
  • Julie_Pilgrim @ Julie_Pilgrim:
    like the lighting in that game was genuinely so good
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Not getting dragged into that again.
  • Julie_Pilgrim @ Julie_Pilgrim:
    i dont get why they didn't port the one game that ran the worst on consoles, to pc
  • Julie_Pilgrim @ Julie_Pilgrim:
    like you port everything to pc except the one game where it would make the most sense. why. what do you gain from this
  • Julie_Pilgrim @ Julie_Pilgrim:
    is sega just personally fucking with me? are they laughing while watching me through my kinect camera as i get up to restart my xbox for the third time because the game froze again
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Buy handhelds from five below better quality
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Valve probably going to do another refresh of the deck this fall with rog ally like specs tbh
  • Veho @ Veho:
    A smaller form factor would be nice too.
