     have no luck understanding heavily accented english, due to being hard of hearing. Thought I could find out bios information here.

  • Looking at the BIOS file on the Acer download site for the G3620 (I cannot find AG3620) it appears you have an AMI BIOS.
    If that is correct, 6 beeps indicates a 'Gate A20 failure'. In short, this means the keyboard controller IC has failed.
    The resolution, of course, is to replace the keyboard controller.
