I have a Gateway MX3563 laptop with windows XP home. Now every time I
restart the computer, it goes into BIOS setup screen and constantly
beeps non-stop. If I click a key, it will stop beeping. However, I can
only choose "Exit discarding any changes." to exit the BIOS page and
return to Windows. Once in the windows, it starts to beep constantly
again until I click any key. It now seems work fine.

Prior to this problem, the keyboard does not work (quite a few keys do
not give correct output, for example, if typing A it will come out "l
\;"...) I am not sure if I dropped a bit water onto the laptop that
caused the keyboard problem. I put the laptop on the bathroom cabinet
while I washed my face. I researched on Gateway site and learned how
to open the keyboard. After I reinstalling the keyboard, it comes the
problem of going into BIOS setup every time the laptop restarts and
beeping constantly. I tried three times to reinstall the keyboard.
Finally I had all keys working properly, but the problem of restarting
into BIOS setup page and beeping constantly still remain. it just
constantly beeping "dididididi............." no pause, no long or
short beep pattern.

Thanks very much in ahead for help.

It is very likely that the keyboard is faulty. The constant beeping
is actually the system sensing that a key had been stuck. The key may
not physically be depressed but the circuit board could be messed up.

If possible, try disabling the keyboard in the BIOS and using an
external keyboard. If the beeping stops then you have isolated the
problem. The best thing to do would be to call gateway support for
some further direction.

BIOS beeps can also indicate other problems than just keyboard
issues. You need to locate the correct "BIOS" beep code definition
info and compair the short / long beep coses.

There is no short/long beep coses. It is just constantly beeping non
stop, it will continue to beep forever until I hit any key.
