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.
