Hi,
I recently upgraded my ram in a 2009 MacBook pro and when I turned it back on I started getting the 3 beeps with nothing on screen.
Carried out a troubleshoot of ram and slots below.
I reinstalled old ram in both slots and got 3 beeps and nothing on screen.
Then only installed new ram in bottom slot leaving top slot free - laptop turned on. Swapped with other new ram and laptop still turned on.
So, both new ram work independently on the bottom slot which means new ram is fine and it must be something wrong with the top slot!?
is there a fix for this? If needed can I replace the ram unit entirely?
thank you in advance for any suggestions.
cheers!
Rob
