MacBook Air 3 beep after system “upgrade” reset PRAM doesn’t help

Just updated my 2013 MacBook Air (normal recurring one, not a major one) I think I’m running higher sierra or the one after that. On restart after after the update get the 3 beeps and nothing I have tried will get me started. Thanks

3 beeps is an indication of RAM failure. If it is indeed RAM then you need to have the computer inspected by an authorized service center. RAM can not be replaced.
