Question

Dell Laptop Weird Bleeping Sound

Mar 1, 2018 4:18PM PST

Hey there, I have a Dell Inspiron 11 and for several months now, it has been doing an annoying bleeping sound everytime the laptop is on, but im not doing anything on it. (Like reading from a website, pdf or powerpoint)

The bleeping sound has a pattern of 3 bleeps followed by 3 more. That can go on for minutes, until I press some keys or start working on the laptop.
It seems to originate from the right side of the keyboard, somewhere where the speaker is located. However, it doesnt come out through the speaker.

I hope I can get some advice! Thank you.
