Thinkpad L380 startup melody error

[Thermaltake]

Hi, I got L380 that I don't know the history. But when I turn it on it gives me some melody error. I try with lenovo diagnostic tool on my smartphone and it gave me error code 011028, but there is no record of that error in their code library. I tried to disconnect everything from motherboard except speakers and same thing, tried memory in different slot same thing. Any idea ?

Comeon man, you have 230 posts here and you only mention of melody(which only you has listened) and expect us to give suggestion? Give us voltage measurements on all coils when its beeping out the melody.

Don't know how to measure, I will give it to my friend to check that and let you know.

If you have a multimeter, put black probe to Ground and Red probe on all coil. the measurements should be after power on. Meter should be set to 20V DC.

Yes, that error. And I did try that, among other things that I found online, but nothing help.

What I found out that my friend reprogram the bios and ME region and didn't know how to deal with that, that's why he struggle for 3 days. it wasn't supply for dc converter as he said to me at first, he said that probably to charge me more.

I know how to see on board what was touched and whats not.
