Thanks Mike.
I exchanged from the B+ some chips when I got a little confident, but it 
started making weirder noises, so I placed them back and now its back to 
the usual noise, the long beep.
The noise still oscillates a little bit.
caps lock and shift lock lights are lit non stop.
keyboard connector is very well in place. If I remove it it makes a little 
different noise.
I even tried refitting the DFS onto the machine (not the ROM BOARD) in case 
it would make a difference, but nothing happened.
I even tried closing the jumpers, opening them again, all sorts of combos.
