Im trying to fix two old 486s I have sitting around. When I boot up it beeps once, three consequtive beeps, and then one more. I know a sequence of beeps means something, I just dont know what it means. Are there any websites that you can direct me to that will have this type of info?
Thanks

It means there isn't a videocard present, or isn't working
properly
486 Technical website, hope this helps.
"As you are probably aware, beep codes and error codes vary according to the BIOS being used. According to IBM standard, 1 beep followed by 4 short beeps = EGA problem. "
Try replacing the video card, then the memory. It is probably one of the two. You should be able to get 486 era parts for next to nothing. Good luck.
