Dell Inspiron 14z won't boot up and gives 2 beeps.

moar · Sep 20, 2016

I have a dell inspiron 14z .The laptop's battery is dead and something wrong with the power of my laptop because when I shut it down the screen stays on but the HDD lights stop ,and this is how I normally shut it down , I just wait for the HDD lights to stop then remove the power cord.
Now I mentioned the above just to give an insight about the last thing that happened , last thing is that it was running then i shut it down with the same way i mentioned like I do normally . Next day I found the laptop not booting ,giving a black screen and just making 2 beeps. I searched for 2 beeps and it says it might be the RAM so I removed one ram of the two ,and switched places but nothing works.
Thanks in advance.
