!!!! A Beeb in a dishwasher?!? Well, don't that just beat all....


As for the beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..., possible fault in the reset 
circuitry (starting at the area around the itty-bitty 555 timer)? Is 
there any other observation (anything on-screen, LEDs)? Perhaps also 
there is gunk stopping the crystal oscillator from clocking the machine 
correctly/at all?


Best wishes,

Rick.
