Remove the keyboard again and plug in a USB keyboard then boot it (the laptop should still boot fine without its own keyboard). If it boots properly, one of the sensors on the keyboard are probably stuck or shorted. Has any liquid been spilled on it recently?

If it turns out it is the keyboard itself, try giving each key a couple good hard taps (not so hard to break them, but this sometimes will loosen a stuck sensor).

I fixed a friend's laptop that was doing this a month or two ago. His R key was stuck, giving that annoying beeping and not starting. Before that a customer came to me with the same thing, he had spilled water on the keyboard the week before and the keyboard never worked right again.

I think he's having the problem I described, and it's not a beep code.
