Try looking up the symptoms in the Hardware Maintenance Manual:

ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/pc/pccbbs/mo ... 2p9631.pdf

I think it is under Beep Symptoms on page 53. This way you can look step by step at potential problems/resolutions.

If it's 3-3-1, it's either a DIMM or the system board. Check the Hardware maintenance manual referenced in the previous post.

lol all i did was originally dismantle the lcd to remove the backlight and replace it then i had no picture on putting it back together without a back light in
so i stripped it down to just the bare essential and removed everything after buying a new screen coz i thought that was the problem but no bios beep
pretty sure its more system baord problem
fekk only wanted a working backlight lol
now i got to replace system board
weres a good place for replacement bords or even repairs ?
thanxs for the replys

Like, dsvochak said, I would try reseating the memory. Sometimes, just the slightest difference can make a huge difference in these DIMM slots.
