I have an old Compaq Laptop from a friend. I said, I would fix it up for them and give it an new os, but I am starting to have problems. When it boots up, It screams this loud high pitch noise. I know this is a sign that something isn't right, because the motherboard is trying to tell me something. But what? It was working two months ago. I set it aside so that I could work on it later. It hasn't been touch since two months ago when it worked. It's been sitting in a bag protected.
Updated SPECS:
CPU: AMD AMD-K6(r)-2 with 3DNow(tm) Technology; 475 MHz
Video: Resolution SVGA; Video Resolution SVGA
BIOS: 1.07
Ram: 64 MB
CD-ROM Drive: Teac CD-224E-B25; IDE; Spin Rate 24x
Host Bus Adapter: Embedded IDE
Video Adapter Trident Microsystems, Inc. Blade 3D (9880); BIOS i7; 8 MB; Video
(Specs from online, they might be different than mine. I'm pretty sure, that my MHz is around 200 to 300.)
Any ideas on how to at least get this baby to start up?
