AST BIOS beep codes

1 short - CPU register test failure (The CPU has failed)
2 short - Keyboard controller buffer failure (The keyboard controller has failed)
3 short - Keyboard controller reset failure (The keyboard controller has failed or the motherboard circuitry is faulty)
4 short - Keyboard communication failure (Either the keyboard controller IC or the associated circuitry has failed.  replace the keyboard first, then is still faulty, replace the keyboard controller IC)
5 short - Keyboard input failure (The keyboard controller IC has failed.   Replace the IC)
6 short - System board chipset failure (The chipset on the motherboard has failed.  Replace the motherboard)
9 short - BIOS ROM checksum error (The BIOS ROM has failed.  If possible, replace the BIOS on the motherboard)
