IBM Personal Computer 300 GL
Hi, I have a IBM 300 GL and it is making a beep sound. It makes 1 beep with a short delay, then 3 quick beeps followed by another shortly delay, and finally one more quick beep. This pattern may even be just known as 5 quicks beeps (I'm not sure).

I am also unable to see anything on my monitor. What do the beeps mean?
Thanks

1-3-1 beeps from a Phoenix BIOS indicates a RAM refresh verification failure
(sounds like it may be faulty RAM)

That is if the device actually uses a Phoenix BIOS, however.

It could be simply that the ram is not pressed down in position. Ed
