3 times loud beeping sound after press on button but never startup (mac min

I'm having trouble startup my mac mini(not intel duo core)... i had a hard reboot (popup a grey/black on the screen asking to restart by pressing the start button) which i did hold the start button then release then press to start up... but after that, there's 3 times loud beeping sound which i've never heard before and after that screen in blank and my mac mini wont start up.. The LED light indicator is on but i'll keeping blinking 4 times every 30 seconds or so... could anyone help me to resolve the issue?

Three beeps at startup indicate 'no good banks', meaning the system can't access the RAM.
It may be that your RAM itself is bad, or that it has come unseated. It could also indicate a more serious motherboard fault which prevents the RAM being accessed, but that is unlikely.
If you have opened the mini in the past it may be that the best way to check is to do so again and ensure the RAM is properly seated by removing it and reinserting. If you replaced the original RAM and still have the original stick, try putting that back in. Also note that Macs are typically very sensitive to RAM incompatibilities, and there have been cases where systems fail as yours appears to have done for no reason other than that a RAM stick was marginal in compatibility.
If you upgraded the RAM yourself and bought the replacement stick from a source such as Crucial.com which permits unconditional exchanges, contact them and arrange to have the memory replaced.

    so I have called HP tech support 12 times over the last 6 weeks and still my HP Officejet 4620 loses connection overnight. Of course becasue it was a birthday present I spent more time than I normally would have on this issue. While the tech are very polite they have not fixed my problem and now it is too late to return printer to store. This is a lot of money wasted and I think they need to admit this is a bug in this printer and resolve the problem!!!!!

  • How can i return to getting sound after pressing panic button?

    I pressed the panic button after setting up my layout, and I had everything set up the way I wanted it (volume included). The volume then disappeared and no sound appears after I pressed the panic button. I've tried remapping everything but I had no luck. Please help me.

    Unfortunately it does happen sometimes. I'm still trying to solve the same problem. Panic is assigned to a button on my controller and it usually works correctly, but sometimes during a live performance when I get a stuck note, the panic button kills the plugin completely. It happens mainly with Vintage B3 and E. Piano, but it has also happened with Ivory II. This never happened with MS 2. Panic is supposed to reset MDI and the audio engine, according to MS 3 help. Maybe it's a bug, or maybe my older machine isn't fast enough. I'm using a mid-2010 Mac Mini 2.6 with 16GB RAM and two 500GB 7200 rpm drives running the OSX 10.9.2 and MS 3.0.3. Any ideas, CCTM or Blueberry?

  • How to prevent key sound after pressing Enter

    I don't want to hear "beep" sound after pressing enter in TextBox object.
    Is it possible to prevent this?
    Private Sub TextBox1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyPress
    If e.KeyChar = Convert.ToChar(13) Then
    MsgBox("You will hear "beep" after you press it")
    End If
    End Sub

    Hi,
     I am guessing this is a single line TextBox.  You can use the KeyDown event to detect the Enter key being pressed and Suppress the Key.  If you are using the Enter Key to do something when it is pressed in the TextBox then put it in here
    instead of the KeyPress event.
    Private Sub TextBox1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyDown
    If e.KeyCode = Keys.Enter Then
    e.SuppressKeyPress = True
    'Do something here if you need to when Enter is pressed
    End If
    End Sub
    If you say it can`t be done then i`ll try it

  • Pavilion dv6 - loud beeping sound when starting +sound problem

    i just bought an hp pavilion dv6 notebook LR732PA and every time i turn it on there's a loud beeping sound, and i'm not sure if this is normal but it asks me where to boot from (pc hard drive) and which oS (windows 7 64-bit). does anyone know how to stop the beeping?
    Also sometimes the sound stops working altogether and an icon appears on the screen with a circle moving around it, and when i try to put the volume up the bar slides back down. it usually can be fixed by closing some programs and processes, it happens sometimes when ive just got 2 programs running and i close one and its ok, or if its not i have to restart. is this something to do with RAM or some kind of sound setting?
    Thanks =)

    There could possibly be a RAM issue here are a couple of troubleshooting links that might resolve your issue or give you an idea what the beeping is referring to.

  • Can't turn on apple logo fades a moment after pressing on button

    can't turn on apple logo fades a moment after pressing on button - not recognised by itunes as being there. Can charge - however this causes the apple logo to appear and disappear repeatedly??

    Hello there Struth23,
    Sounds like you may need to reset the iPhone or put it into recovery mode to resolve the issue if it is to do with the software.
    From iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

    In case anyone has had the same problem as me, I have just managed to fix this by doing the following:
    Switch off Mac
    Switch back on in Safe Mode (Hit power button, then hold Shift key until a loading bar appears at the bottom of the screen).
    Switch off Mac again
    Remove power cord and wait 15 seconds
    Plug power cord back in and hold down the keys alt, cmd, p, r all at the same time until you hear Starting chime for a second time and hopefully your audio will back.

  • Calculating a value from a item after pressing a button

    Hi all
    I would like to calculate the value of an item (highest available value in db +1) using a pl/sql-function after pressing a button. The result depends on an other item on the same page. The value of this item is not known while rendering the page. The result should be inserted in the item before saving/validate all other items from this page.
    Part of SQL-Script for one possibility :
    if :P601_OP = 1 then
    select max(substr(sar_id, 5))+1 into :P601_SAR_ID from sar where substr(sar_id,0,3) = 'ORA;
    end if;
    Thanks for your help

  • Which trigger fires after pressing 'Save' button on toolbar.

    hi,
    I wanted to know which triggers get fired after pressing 'save' button on toolbar, and in which sequence it get's fired.

    When you press 'save' it tries to do a commit_form.
    Before commiting the form, it checks for any errors which might occur at form level, block level or item level and does the commit only when it doesn't find one.

  • TV screen frozen on Apple logo after pressing select button on remote.  Have powered off Apple TV and router.

    TV screen is frozen after pressing select button on remote.  Have powered off both Apple TV and router. Menu does not come up. All that is on TV screen is Apple logo with black screen.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
    (You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

  • When I try to open a second page in safari I press the " +" button but it automatically closes out of safari.. Wht should I do?

    When I try to open a second page in safari I press the " +" button but it automatically closes out of safari.. What should I do?- thanks

    Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data and also Clear History
    If that doesn't fix it then try closing Safari via the taskbar and see if it works when you re-open it :
    iOS 7 :double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag the Safari app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
    iOS 6 and below : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option if the above doesn't fix it is a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
