With this, I replaced the stock RAM with some known good RAM from an identical Mac, same issue.Īfter getting distracted from the project for about a month I came back to looking at the device and found a new issue, while using the device, horrible screen artifacts appear (Image attached, sorry for that horrible focus) and results in a full lockup and the Mac giving itself a force reset, then followed by the same beeping loop. My company issues higher end Thinkpads and MacBook Pros. While this did work for a short period of time, the problem started again. Laptops take a lot of abuse and will fail over time because of it. After some in-depth analysis of the situation (also known as asking the Google), I found it was likely a RAM issue. These are not the same as the startup sound (chime) that a Mac can play when starting up normally. On some Mac models, you may hear one of these beep sequences at the beginning of the startup process, while the screen is still blank. I am currently in the process of repairing a friend's 13 Inch Mid 2012 MacBook Pro (Model 1278). Before I went to begin my repair, I noted that about 50% of the time, upon attempting to boot the system, the system would stay black and go into a loop of 3 beeps. Certain conditions related to memory or firmware may cause your Mac to beep once or more during startup.
