    hi
    i have bought a dell inspiron n5110 for two month now. after 20 days one morning
    i tried to turn it on and it beeped 3 times and went dead i took it to support
    center ( it has warranty ) they took it and fix it in about one hour and told me
    it was a bios failure and if it happens again warranty wil not cover it and it will
    cost about 150$ after one month today it beeped 3 times again and after that went
    completely dead.

    i am not a hardware expert but i can handle my and my coworkers computers pretty well
    but since it has warranty woid labels i cant check anything.

    i have already tried
    pushing power button for 30 seconds without connecting battery or charger.

    Hello matin,

    I am from Dell Social Media and Community.

    With regards to your system error code(3 beeps) it indicates that your system board has failed and needs a replacement.

    It may be because of one or more of the below

    chipset Error (North and South bridge error, DMA/IMR/Timer error)
    Time-Of-Day Clock test failure
    Gate A20 failure
    Super I/O chip failure
    Keyboard controller test failure

    Let me know if you need any further assistance. I will be glad to help.
