Any clue what's wrong with a Hydro Thunder that only beeps when it turns on? Possible easy fix?
 
Ah, Quicksilver II! *rubs hands*

The beeps are a code; the number and length of beeps are supposed to tell you exactly where in the POST things went horribly wrong. I forget what BIOS those guys have -- give the board a good look over, watch for stickers that say "AMI BIOS" or "Phoenix". Do the Google.

Depends on the beeps. If it beeps immediately upon power on
then you have a POST error. Could be bad ram, best bet is to
look up the manual for the motherboard to identify the beeps.

If it starts beeping after 30 seconds or so, then the game is running
but it has some kind of other error like video card or IO board issue.

My Hydro Thunder beeps when it gets turned on (after 10-20 seconds or so), then it boots up quietly. When I bought it, I didn't know if it was working because the monitor was bad. Fixed the monitor, and saw it running in attract mode. Cut the padlock off the door and put it on free play, and it works great...
