Hi sairao2000

I would like to inform you that 6 beeps indicate issues with the Video card or chip failure. I would suggest you to run Dell diagnostics on the system, to run dell diagnostics, Turn on the system, press <F12> at the initial Dell logo screen, and select Diagnostics from the boot menu.

In case Dell diagnostics won’t work please try to run LCD BIST test on the system, , To run the LCD BIST (Built in Self-test) Press and hold the D key on the keyboard while pressing the power button, then release both simultaneously .

This will initiate a grey screen, then Red, then Blue, then Green then White, to allow you to inspect the entire LCD for color purity on each screen and to better identify defect such as cracks in the LCD or stuck pixels that may not be apparent in a normal viewing mode.

Please revert with the results.
