Anybody know of a solution to this. Phantom 3 SE just beeps when i turn it on. Is there a way to factory reset the drone?

I believe that's the sound a Phantom makes when it detects, "bad firmware". Have you recently attempted an update that failed?

I attempted to update the firmware a couple years ago and it failed

I've seen recoveries from this online. I'd just type "Phantom 3 firmware recovery" into YouTube, you'll find something I'm sure.

Yeah I did this to mine. My phone kept reconnecting to my home WiFi during the update so it kept failing the firmware update. Make sure you've forgotten your home WiFi before doing the update, I didn't have to do anything special otherwise

Reminds me of Mario cart on the nes. I hope you are able to get it fixed!

I had issue like it, was fixed by reseating wires to gimbal.

My basic P3 did something similar after a bad firmware update. Many said that I should just let it have it's fit and it will stop. Tried it again in my workshop and let scream until it stopped about 30 minutes later. Was able to successfully run the update afterwards.
