Symptoms

  • Single beep on boot

Solution

The single beep on boot is caused by a shorted capacitor on the headphone jack (Figure 1). Disconnect the headphone jack and test to see if beep is gone. Remove headphone jack (it is double sided taped on) and test caps for continuity, remove or replace shorted cap (usually discolored). It is not strictly necessary to replace it, the value is unknown.
