Continuous beeping

Scott McDade — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 13:43:44 GMT

Hello:

I have a C3750 running HPUX 11.11. I came in this morning after a long weekend and the workstation is beeping. A continuous beep but the OS is not frozen and everything appears to be functioning ok. I can remotely login, the console is free and all my processes look to be ok. There is no error codes on the front panel and when I do uptime it tells me it has not been rebooted in 36 days. Can any tell me what this could be?

One of the keys stuck in the "down" position on the keyboard?

Loose keyboard connection (especially if a USB keyboard)

Hello:

Thanks for the quick response. No, all peripherals are good. And if I reboot the beep goes away. But it will happen again in a few weeks.

Nothing in /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log?

I once had a backspace key stuck. My data in forms would just disappear.
So I decided to unplug the keyboard. But then I had to reboot. :-(
