Picked up a pair of hydrothunders both with bad power supplies. Replaced the PS in the first and it booted up fine.

Second one replaced the power supply and now things start to boot but I am getting 6 beeps. The manual says peripheral problem. Any clue what that means? I can start doing swaps between the two but would like to have a solid place to start before I do as moving things is always risking breaking something that works.

Thanks,
David
 
Check the connector between the aqua bike and the game. It sounds like you have a loose wire or a broken / loose pin. Moving those big games is a pita, and stuff gets damaged.
 
Hydrothunder 6 beeps fixed

Turned out the previous owner had plugged the serial cable into com 2. Moved it over to com 1 and she booted right up. So 6 beeps means no communication with the external IO board.

I verified this by pulling the serial cable on my other unit and got 6 beeps.
