I think Jess is correct. I had a MH board that also beeped at me with no video. From what I recollect, the number of beeps pointed me to a specific RAM chip (after consulting the manual) that I replaced and voila! Board worked just fine after that...
One of the easiest board repairs I ever had....took about 5 minutes ;) ...

The beeps mean that there is a RAM error of some sort I believe. From: owner-vectorlist@vectorlist.org [mailto:owner-vectorlist@vectorlist.org] On Behalf Of Kevin Moore

Subject: VECTOR: Major Havoc test mode Ok I'm not having any luck with this thing at all. No video in test modeIn fact when you put it in test mode you get a rapid succession of beeps for about 4-5 seconds, then it stops beeping. It's not watchdoggingI've been able to fluke the program roms, and rams, and even the paged roms with good sigsNot sure how or if I can check sigs on 106 107 and 110 on the gamma side I can check 108 just fine. If the gamma processor isn't communicating, I would think I would still have video showing me that the gamma isn't communicating.. Lost. Kevin
