ricoh theta sc three beeps = lens circuit is broken or has some malfunction.
No way to change only one spare lens. I don't find out how to remove only the crystal lens :-/ and i don't want to break the entire "thing". So it seems to me we need an entire two lens block to change scratched lens and we need to know that entire piece is not broken...

DO NOT OPEN YOUR RICOH CAMERA TO SWAP SDCARD OR LENS OR BATTERY TILL HAVE AN ANSWER OF WHAT MEAN THREE BEEPS AND SHUTDOWN... OR THREE BEEPS, RED LIGHT AND SHUTDOWN...
+
I meant: do not open a working camera till you know what mean those beeps. Anyway, i reassembled camera with its own lenses including the scratched one, and camera still works. I got scared when i placed non scratched lenses from another camera and saw how puwer button lighted blue with three beeps and shutted down :-/ Was due to other camera lenses circuit being faulty :-(

NO HELP FROM RICOH SEEMS AVAILABLE.

I just replaced Ricoh Theta SC lens from another faulty 360° camera and now when i press power on it lights blue, beeps three times and power off. Other camera lenses electronical circuits were faulty, that's why it beeped three times as when you take off lenses and power on camera Ricoh Theta SC.
+
When i only took out battery and i did not took off lens circuits and did not touched screws behind battery, when i tried both batteries it did not beeped three times and stayed with blue power on light on till i pressed power off again.
+
So, i messed up with lens circuit or with the thing between battery and 8GB SD-Card type 10 behind...

ricoh theta beeps and shutdown
+
If i disconnect lens circuits and put battery on it still lights blue and beeps three times before shutting down camera :-/
+
+
If i get out Ricoh Theta SC SD-card i get a lot of beeps that i could no count because i don't hear any silence between contiguous beeps... And camera shut down as it did with sdcard... But beeps due to absence of memory card are not three beeps.
+
+
Ok. I just put back all lenses with their own circuits and it does not beep three times so Three Beeps means something wrong with lens electronic circuits...
+
+
I changed only the two lens circuits (2 C & 1 C) and it makes no difference. With old lenses piece it beeps three times and with new lenses pieces (scratched ones) i wanted to replace it powers on with blue light and no beeps...

What i need os to swap only the lens... not full block (assemble) since is the one that is causing the three beeps and shutdown...
