Hi everyone this is my first time here so please bear with for a while.

I had a 10 years old Dell inspiron 14r n4110 that had a dead battery and dead screen but bad specs so I made some upgrades like te ram from 4 GB ddr3 to 16 GB DDR3L and cpu from i3 2310m to Core i7-2960XM I had because I want to use it for home network storage and some retro gaming but the problem is that the laptop when powered on it beeps exactly 8 times and apparently it means a lcd test error.
is there any way to bypass this test?
BTW: the VGA port is broken so I disconnected the cable from the and
board
Sorry for my bad English
