hey! i had this same issue when i first acquired my tx2000. i'm also the author of this page and i've done a pretty large amount of stuff with this laptop. now i'm pretty sure that you're likely experiencing the same issue as me where the keyboard shorts out. if you did manage to get into the bios at least once and it would not stop beeping. then the keyboard is likely your culprit, there are replacement keyboard on aliexpress for about 10 bucks

Would not disconnecting the key board not isolate this possiblilty?

Replaced fan, runs fine.
(If the fan is not running for any reason, the computer shuts down)
