Hi, had this MacBook for years now. Think there’s water damage but I can’t be too certain- all I’m left with is 3 beeping noises every time I try and turn it on- black screen.
I've opened the bottom up to see if it’s the RAM chips that need changing but I can’t find them, any help would be appreciated. Attached photos…
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.12

You do not say what exact Mac is this??
Since ~2013-2014 all RAM is soldered to the board, there is no replacing it beyond the board.
Your Mac shown certainly is not a non-retina 2012, one of the last user upgradable RAM options.
In or out of warranty you can get a free over the counter 'Apple Service Diagnostics' test /assessment

Your model as pictured does not contain removable memory modules. If the laptop is beeping it indicates you have a hardware issue that will need to be repaired by Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. Only the non-Retina Apple laptops have removable memory modules.
