Now I have installed updates on it, that double bleep has stopped.
I still have one unidentified single tone bleep - it may be the fridge freezer - the only item that hasn't been unplugged for test purposes.
I will now try to find the instruction book for it, to see if a bleep is mentioned in it.
Meanwhile the problem has been halved and I can live with that.
Thanks for your suggestions
You don't use heated rollers by any chance? :)

NO - and if that means you imagine me as Nora Batty - I identify more with Edie(Thora Hird) - my mum was her lookaliky - and one of my exes was a motor mechanic

It wouldn't beep if it was turned off

Unplug the fridge/freezer Margaret, it will stay cold/frozen for at least 10 hours depending on how often you open it but long enough to check the beep.

I thought that too:confused: but a switch on and update has cured it - it was connected to a Livebox by an ethernet cable - perhaps that was doing the bleeping - they are adjacent to each other.

Still considering whether to mess withh freezer - thanks anyway

Or will it :confused:
Might do when the CMOS battery is ready for changing - not sure if it does it when not turned on though, you get the bleep codes at boot up which tell you certain things and low CMOS battery is one of them

I didn't think cmos bleeped when not turned on. Would be a bit of a waste of it's battery? Not like its a fire alarm

Have you identified the bleep yet? This has gone on for a while, you must be going batty. ;)

Another one mistaking me for Norah:rolleyes: must change avatar
The double bleep was the worst one - now gone.
This single bleep is not as loud and intrusive - I can cope:D

Aw Margaret don't change your avatar, we know your not a Nora Batty look a like, its just a bit of fun. I've been told by some I look like Freddy Kruger from Nightmare on Elm St, others have called me Greengrass. Does'nt bother me.

Retlaw.

I have never come across one that did yet. I did wonder if it was on standby and not shut down. The other explaination is that since ATX PSU's came along they do have a constant 5v supply to the motherboard. It is used for switching the PC on as well as wake on lan and other wake up PC functions like serial and mouse, keyboard etc. So maybe it was bleeping for something - maybe just to remind you it was on standby.

When Maragret suggested changing her avatar, it set me to thinking, every one should have their true likeness on display.

So at great expense, I've had my photo taken, and the new avatar is me.

Retlaw.

I've been thinking for a while that we should have "avatar day" at the shop- where any accywebbers can come in and get their photo taken and have it sent by email in the right format along with instructions for changing their avatar.

I wasn't thinking it necessarily needs to be true likeness though- any object which best "describes" the member will do.

Sounds like a good idea but will some of us not scare off potential new members with our mugs in the avatar box????

Not if the two accyweb babes who were in the shop a couple of hours ago are anything to go by. :dancedog:

Doesn't need to be faces: If you're a musician, bring in your instrument (ooer). If you're a petrolhead, we'll get your car in the frame. etc
