Ahhh, do mean three beeps, then three beeps again? That means there is fault memory. How old is this MBP, and did you install new memory or someone else recently?


If you installed memory modules yourself, reopen the back, take the modules out and then reinsert to make sure they are seated properly.


If this is Apple installed memory then it would be good to visit an Apple store genius bar and have the techs check it out.


Unless I am miunderstanding what your are describing.

Three beeps at startup means there is a problem with the memory,the modules may be faulty or not seated properly.


1 beep-No Ram installed

2 beeps-Incompatible Ram

3 beeps-No good memory banks

4 beeps-No good images in Boot Rom

5 beeps-Processor is not useable


If you are comfortable working inside your MBP, take the back off and remove then reinsert the memory modules. See it that helps. If not, a visit to the Apple store in Nicosia would be a good idea and have the techs check it and if it is only bad memory, you can see what they will charge you to replace the memory modules.

Check the exact memory at http://www.everymac.com by looking under MacBook Pro, then the year/model that matches yours, and then find the information on the memory your MBP uses. There are some very good sources of memory: Corsair as you asked about, Crucial and OWC. I have dealt with both Crucial and OWC and found them to be very good companies. Recent postings about Corsair have all been very positive...users have had good results with that memory and been very pleased with it. So anyone of those three would be great to deal with.


If the whole problem is the memory modules then replacing would be a good idea. And if you can get to Nicosia easily, having the techs at the Apple store test and tell you it definitely is the memory modules would be a good idea.


Best of luck and hope this works out for you...and be sure and post the end result, I would be interested in hearing how this works. We are all fellow users on here and not Apple employees so the feedback helps all of us.
