Hi im sorry if this is the wrong sub forum for my problem.


For christmas i recieved a macbook. This model http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APP...co=7B723640&node=home/shop_mac/family/macbook

The 13 inch white on the way left. 2.0 ghz intel duo


I havent had any problems at all since i got the product until today.

I tried to boot it up and it wouldnt start. The screen stays blank and black and it makes a beeping noise. And when i press caps lock the little light doesnt light up. I updated my ram to 4 gb of ram a little after Christmas like 2 weeks ago and it was working fine. I read somewhere earlier that this beeping problem can maybe be the memory, so i took out the ram and put in the stock mac ram. Still had the same problem. Anyone have any ideas what this can be?

Ooo. Last night the last time i used it i had iTunes on and went to sleep with iTunes playing songs and the laptop wasnt hooked up to a power source it was just running on batteries. THan when i woke up this morning i've been having the problem described above.

Thanks..
 
How many beeps does it make in a row? Verify that the apple RAM is seated firmly. Take the battery and AC out when changing memory. If you're close to an Apple Store, they will service it for free.
 
It very well may be a totally dead battery. Let it charge for several hours before trying to start up; then likely it will boot.

That would not explain the beeping.

Most likely it is the ram, usually there is no other reason for beeping. Also if you take it to the Apple Store, make sure the original RAM is in it.
 
Note that replacing the RAM or HDD will not void the warranty, but if you damage anything while doing so, you are responsible for repair costs.
