Hello I was trying to get in working order an old notebook called REIN 300 Slc, with a beautiful orange plasma screen. It works, but nothing in the screen. I disassembled it and with just the motherboard and the screen works. We were do happy so I builded again, but when I tried to power on again, a strange beep code sounds and again nothing in the screen. I put you the sound and pray for someone to recognise it, and can help me a little bit.

Thank you!!!!

I can't upload the file, how can I upload the file?? (I tried aac, wav and mp3)
 
Appears to be two separate beep patterns:
1 long, then 3 short.
5 short, then 1 long, then 1 short, then 1 long.

If you disassemble the computer again, do you still hear the beeps ?
 
Who made the BIOS? The beep codes are depending on that.

The first one, however, (1 long, 3 short) is generally a video card error. This is expected when no video card is present. On a notebook, it may indicate you damaged the connection to the display or even the video ram (e.g. by not working ESD-safe).
