Performa 400 - 3 beeps

[mattbee]

Hello again - what does 3 slow beeps mean on startup?

Before I changed the battery I was getting the chimes of death (the 8 note tune). After changing it I get 3 beeps separated by about 2s each, no chime.

I've tried it with and without SIMMs in the slots - what would be the next thing to check?

Logic board error. Generally associated with RAM issues but could also be a number of other problems including low power due to dying power supply. Just when I replaced the power supply in my Performa 400, these beeps stopped.
