Q: 3 beeps
Tricky problem. I have a 2011 macbook pro. The details are below:.
MacBook Pro "Core i7" 2.2 15" Early 2011
The os was accidentally wiped. I have tried to restore using the utilities function and the Internet recovery tool., but this didn't work. After phoning apple support, they posted out a new os dvd. I tried installing this but kept getting the 3 beeps error. I phoned apple support again but despite the best efforts I was unable to get past the 3 beeps errors. He advised that the hdd drive needs to be replaced.
After checking out the apple diagnostic pages, it states that the error is RAM related.
I have removed the RAM and remounted it, but the error persisted. I ran a hardware test and have found no problems.
Any help is appreciated prior to me spending more time and money on a new hdd if it won't work.
Thanks
MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012)
