The power on self-test resides in the ROM of the computer. This test runs mac computer beeping whenever the computer is turned on after being fully shut down (the power-on self-test does not run if the computer is only restarted). If a fault is detected during the test, you will not hear a normal startup chime. Instead, the system will beep as explained below. If you experience one of these beeps, you may call your Apple Authorized Service Provider for additional troubleshooting assistance. 1 beep = no RAM installed 2 beeps = incompatible RAM types 3 beeps = no good banks 4 beeps = no good boot images in the boot ROM (and/or bad sys config block) 5 beeps = processor is not usable In addition to the beeps, on some computers the power LED will flash a corresponding number of times plus one. The LED will repeat the sequence after approximately a 5-second pause. The tones are only played once. Note: In this case, a flash is considered to be 1/4 second or 250 ms or greater in length.

As far http://mediawiki.middlebury.edu/wiki/LIS/Apple_Computer_Beep_Codes as i know it should be something about the Ram or Ram Slot. Since i tried a few different Rams and nothing changed i suppose its actually the Bank/Slot itself. What can i do? Answered! View the answer I have this problem too Subscribed to new answers Is this a good question? Yes No Voted Undo Score 4 Cancel Comments: I had this problem with RAM (that came with a MacBook Pro) that a MacBook wouldn't accept. Got this error https://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/43025/Beeps+at+startup,+3+x+short,+3+x+long,+3+x+short several times; reseating didn't help; trying one, then the other didn't help. SOLVED thus: finally, I left one of the original sticks in, and one of the new sticks. Worked! Running memtest a dozen times showed it's reliable, so I'm leaving it as is - 3GB up from 2. 09/23/2015 by Matthew Elvey Hi all, I had same issue and had to chage PRAM battery( button one _2032), open iMac and chagne it, it was fine afetr it. 09/28/2015 by Gord would this work on a macbook pro? I have this problem on a Macbook pro medio 2010? 09/30/2015 by Quinten De Wilde Yes, you could try running the system with one memory module. You may need a new PRAM battery. 10/01/2015 by Dan Ho lo stesso identico problema (9 beeps: 3xshort, 3xlong, 3xshort). Il mio è un iMac 20'' early 2009, intel core 2 duo, 2.66 ghz, 2 gb ram. Qualcuno può aiutarmi? La soluzione di cambiare la batteria pram è davvero efficace? Mi date conferma? Vi ringrazio molto.

Called APPLE SUPPORT, as I had done in the past as a long time Apple user, and was SHOCKED by the AWFUL customer beep error codes service. I talked to two people, the last of whom HUNG UP ON ME when he realized that I was not going to accept "I'm sorry, but your hardware warranty has expired" as an answer. In the past, Apple would always stand behind their products. Now, I'll never by an Apple product again... SO, what gives???

PBook G4, 1.5Ghz/1.5 Ram/250 HD, Leopard 10.5.6. What gives is you are asking too much. 6 months out of warranty, unless you have Applecare, is far enough out for them to be perfectly within their rights. If it's a RAM issue, you can probably solve it yourself anyway.
