The beep is a great idea! I think this one was a simple, but it was intermittent for the owner and just happened to quit completely on its way to me. The memory protect switch was gummed up not making good contact. Luckily is was completely open when it got to me so it was easy to track down.

But, in my case, I knew (or, STRONGLY suspected) that the fault was in the power supply and that the rest of the machine was likely fine.
