Can't hurt to try it, thanks. But have to say, that when I brought it to computer "geek" it was no longer beeping but making a sound he knew as FAIL. Like the head (or whatever it's called) seems to be stuck on the disk. I probably never should have stood it upright so it could have easily been knocked over (as it has been more than a few times), should have laid it flat. He did suggest to plug it in now and then just for the hell of it but he was doubtful it'll ever work again. Not just that but the light doesn't even come on when the AC is connected.
