Below is a copy of the reply on what is happening (from my brothers
daughter):-
/The sequence is:
1. Turn on, 15 second wait with black screen (not lit up)
2. 7 beeps -pause- 7 beeps -pause- 7 beeps -pause- 7 beeps (short beeps)
3. And so on...
4. That will keep repeating, I don't know exactly how long but I left

5. Only stops when you press the power button once again
