Hi all, My brother laptop is having a problem which is when push the power button it only beep 2 times then suddenly it will hang not even can show the Acer logo when start up. I already try to change the ram or put it to other slot but still the same problem, What more can i do to diagnose the laptop? The laptop model is Acer ASPIRE 4520 using AMD TURON TL-5.8 running at 1.9ghz.
Thanks in advance .

Hello Dunhill79;

Those beeps are a probably Power On Self Test (POST) code. The 2 beeps identify the cause of the problem.
If you can find a list of Acer beep codes it should tell you what the beeps mean.
