Beep codes are critcal to diagnostics, beeps can be evenly spaced or appear to have slight pauses between beeps. There are short and long beeps. There are no 7 short beep codes for Dell, but there are multiple combinations of beeps that DO mean something. Listen carefully for pauses and short/long beeps and ask again.
