Mac Book Pro

I have a MacBook Pro and it’s not turning on, I pressed the on button and released it but its making a continuous beep sound three times then it stops for approximately ten seconds then continues. What should I do? I’m also abroad in Ghana, so it’s not like I can just give my laptop to people to “repair”

Well you do not say what exact Mac this is...mid 2012 or earlier you can try re-seating the RAM


Three beeps, then a 5-second pause, repeating

The memory in your Mac didn't pass an integrity check. If you added or replaced memory, make sure that it's properly installed.
