If your MacBook Pro is not starting up and giving 3 beeps, it is indicating a RAM (random-access memory) related issue. Here are some steps you can take to try to fix the issue:
1. Reset the RAM: Turn off your MacBook Pro and unplug it from the power source. Open the back cover of your MacBook Pro, remove the RAM modules, and then reseat them firmly in their slots. Make sure that the RAM is properly seated and locked in place.
2. Try with one RAM module at a time: If reseating the RAM modules doesn't work, try removing one RAM module at a time and turning on your MacBook Pro to see if one of the modules is faulty. If your MacBook Pro starts up with only one of the RAM modules installed, then the other module may be faulty.
3. Replace the faulty RAM: If one of the RAM modules is faulty, you'll need to replace it with a new one. Make sure to buy the correct type and size of RAM for your MacBook Pro.
4. Reset the SMC: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) can sometimes help fix hardware-related issues. To do this, turn off your MacBook Pro, hold down the Shift + Control + Option keys, and then press and hold the power button for 10 seconds. Release the keys and turn on your MacBook Pro.
Hope it helps!
