Hi all.

I have a Compaq Pressario 1800 series laptop.
It occasionally refuses to boot.
It just occurred to me that it beeps when it doesn't boot and doesn't
beep when it does.
Then I thought, duh, it's part of the POST.
So I did some research and have some questions.

The BIOS Manufacturer is Phoenix Version 4.06.
I get one log beep and two short ones then the pc stops.
One of the references I found suggested that this was a video card or
motherboard error.

I went to the Phoenix website and they say the error code is as
follows:
"Search for option ROMs. One long, two short beeps on checksum failure"

Anybody know what this means or have any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
Shawn
