Yes they're clean. I found moisture in some gaps on the MB and remember not long ago having the case exposed to water. I think there will be a short in the circuit somewhere for sure.

Thanks Matt, that's a good page, I was going to look at some later. The beep is sort of short and a continuous one. The problem as it seems quite evidently to me has a good lean toward the...

thanks I found it. I'll lop on a speaker and see what happens. I'll have to toss out the mutt first before we get too excited.
