Q: MacBook with weird beeping boot up?

Last night, my MacBook just shut off. I figured it was the logic board, because this has happened three times before on me (while in warranty).

But now I am a year out of warranty. I waited until the next day, and I tried turning it on. It made the chime, and had a loading bar before suddenly it went to a password log in screen. It said it was booting in safe mode. No matter what password I tried (and I KNOW all of my passwords, especially my Mac one), it wouldn't log me in.

So I hit back, thinking if I hit restart it might restart just not in safe mode.

The computer turns off, and the screen goes black, but it just starts beeping and beeping and beeping with a little white light at the bottom of my MacBook case.

The battery light is still working just to give that piece of information.

 

I am so worried that it is going to cost me thousands of dollars that I don't have just to fix it. I need a computer to apply for jobs (I lost mine recently due to budget cuts), and my résumé and all of my important documents are on there.

 

I am hoping so hard that Apple might just replace it or fix it because it has a known and documented history with problems that weren't my fault?

Anyone ever had luck with this? I'm going to see a genius tomorrow and if that doesn't help, call Apple a million times (What is the best and most responsive number for these sort of issues?)

 

Thank you so much everyone!!
