I am facing problem with my Inspiron N5010 laptop, its not starting up and gives two beep continuously till I off it. At start, the laptop was getting slow, and by day, it showed 2GB RAM, while I have 3GB. One day IDT sound managment software start appear repeatedly on desktop on startup. So I fixed it by unselecting it from startup programs. But now my laptop is not opening at all and gives two beeep on start. I checked my RAM in another laptop and its working. Please help me out, if someone knows about it. Thanks

Oh okay, that's unfortunate. I hope they can help you with the issue, as it seems to be an issue with the motherboard (The RAM Slots).

I'm glad I could help you slightly,

Have a great day!

I have found another thread that may be able to help you.

As you already know, the error is something to do with the RAM, and at the looks of it, one of the RAM slots may be damaged/faulty, and not detect the 1GB stick of RAM, or you may not have seated it properly, as explained further in this thead:

Try reseating the RAM and ensuring that it is inserted correctly.

I tried many times to seat it, at start one slot was working. But now nothing is happening. Is both the slots damaged?

This could be the issue, is the laptop still under warranty, and have you tried contacting the Dell Support Team? They may be able to assist you on this issue.
