A few days ago, my Macbook wasn’t able to boot up and would just give 3 beeping sounds, going on and on and the only way to turn off the sound was to switch it off. At the point in time, I was indeed lost as I am not very experienced in Apple products yet, only 5 months of Apple experience. With the help of my mum’s laptop, I surfed the internet and checked for possible\/potential problems arising from the 3 beeping sounds signal, as well as finding my Macbook box manuals.<\/p>\n

I tried following the Apple Macbook manual, however, they didn’t mention about the beeping sound and I was almost resigned to bringing it down to the local authorised repair centre for follow up action. Checking the forums, I found that 3 beeping sounds usually refer to the RAM related issues\/problems.<\/p>\n

In the morning, my friend James via MSN, helped me to do step by step troubleshooting, using the methods stated in the manual but to no avail. I mentioned about the RAM issues\/problems found in forums and he told me to go ahead and remove the RAM modules.<\/p>\n

The troubleshooting steps were as follows:<\/p>\n

(1) Take out 1 of the RAM modules (if you have 2 RAM modules), follow the instruction from your Apple Macbook manual.<\/p>\n

(2) Switch it on again after fixing the metallic holder plate back.<\/p>\n

After that, my Apple Macbook was revived !!!!<\/p>\n

Thereafter, James instructed me to swap the RAM modules for testing, I repeated the steps above, my Apple Macbook was able to boot up properly now.<\/p>\n
