My macbook air stopped working suddenly and started beeping no backlight ...just beeping

my macbook air stopped working...and started beeping...how do I recover...no backlight ....just beeping

three beeps in a row?  That indicates the RAM is bad on the logic board.
verify the scheme of the beeps and report back.
3 beeps = RAM is bad
4 beeps = no good boot images in the boot ROM (and/or bad sys config block)
5 beeps = processor is not usable

  • My macbook air stopped working

    My macbook air stopped working just a few days ago, when I press the power button I get the startup sound and a white screen, nothing more.. No loading indicator, no apple logo.
    As holding the option key when booting didn't work and I didn't got the startup drive selector I removed my HDD and tried again, this time I could get to the startup disk selector screen and selected my repair disk.
    So I think it's an problem with my HDD, I reinstalled the HDD and rebooted with pre-selected startup disk; the repair disk. And still I don't see my HDD, not in the disk utilities.
    Anyone who can point me in the right direction of mounting the HDD again to repair it? Or can I put it with the trash?

    Hi Hummel Nederland,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  This article has a few additional steps I would recommend trying for your boot issues:

  • The internal camera on my macbook air stopped working.

    The internal camera on my macbook air stopped working. The camera is non available in settings also. Please help.

    Check if it is a hardware issue. If it is take the MBA to an Apple dealer.
    Apple menu / About the Mac / More Info / System Report.
    On the left, under Hardware, click on USB. The right side will show the USB Device Tree. Check to verify the camera is listed. Should be called Built-in iSight. If it is not listed, take the computer in for a full diagnosis.
    If the camera is listed, click on Launch Pad then click on Photo Booth. Do you see anything?

  • Should i take Macbook air 13' with 128GB and upgrade to 8Gb or just take Macbook ait 13' with 256 GB?

    I'm a graphic student in university. Now i don't know i should pick Macbook air 13' with 128GB and upgrade to 8Gb or just take Macbook ait 13' with 256 GB?
    I worry  Macbook air 13' with 128GB can't support fully to install those graphic software like photoshop, lightroom, illustration , Adobe and so on..
    Thank you.

    If I had to choose just one thing I’d go with 8GB RAM. There’s no way to upgrade memory later so if you buy the stock 4GB RAM model and need more RAM later your only choice is to buy a new computer. Even if you find the 128GB SSD too small later you have alternatives including moving less important files to an external hard drive (music, old projects, and video are good examples). You can also purchase a SD RAM card for the SD slot to store additional files on - I have a flush mount 128GB SD card in mine which is where I store my music and older files. And while it will be expensive you can be fairly certain that eventually an upgrade SSD will become available.
    If possible I’d recommend both the 8GB RAM upgrade and the 256GB SSD but as I said, the RAM upgrade really is a must. BTW, I have a huge amount of software on my computer: Creative Suite, Office, and tons more and have no trouble keeping it all within 128GB. What did push me over to make the larger drive a must have is that I also need to run Windows so I have 45GB tied up in Windows and Windows software. (I’m a programming instructor and need to test my assignments for Win and Mac users.)

    Suddenly on Sunday while i was working, my macbook Air which i bought last year in Spetember from Arkansas, Little Rock stopped working, right after that i tried getting it on but nothing came other than a grey screen with a question mark right in the center. Could someone please help me in rectifying the problem. Would thi issue also affect saved data. However, I have handed the notebook to Apple for reapirs and they will revert by Thursday 12/04/2012.

    I just received some horrifying news from Adobe about my production suite.  I just FINALLY learned today that what I've been trying to do for over a week now - CAN'T be done because of compatability issues involving updates of both Adobe & Microsucks Winders!!!  I sincerely hope this is not your problem.  Mine is ALMOST HOPELESS!!  Being in this HOPELESS Obamma economy,,,, leaves NO STIMULUS in which to currently upgrade everything that needs upgraded for me to fully use my INVESTMENT in Adobe Suite - sad, horrible and SICKENING!!!
    I just wanted to post this. And again, I truly hope you find a solution. Good Luck!

    What generation MacBook Air? You might start here:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1736638?start=0&tstart=0
    Apple will fix it. No pricing without making an appointment with the Genius Bar at the Apple Store. Usually an Authorized Apple Repair Store can do it with a faster turn around time and less expensive pricing.

  • Why did my Apple TV password stop working suddenly and why does changing my iTunes account password online not fix the problem?

    My iTunes account password suddenly stopped working. Strangely, it still works when I sign into iTunes but does not work when I try to purchase a movie through Apple TV. I followed the instructions to change my password and that still didn't fix the problem. Anybody encounter this? What's frustrating is that Apple wants to charge me a fee for tech support. You mean I have to pay them to help me give them more money to buy temporary content through my Apple TV? Anywho, please assist if you can.

    Have you tried restarting, the Apple TV, your router and your mac or PC.

  • External sound output on Macbook Air stopped working

    Two months ago, my Macbook Air went silent.
    I tried every trick I was suggested, including upgrading to Mountain Lion OSx , after which sound came back for a few day then disappeared again.
    Their is no external speakers listed under <system preferences / sound / output>
    Internet is full of this complains, I mean it is not regional and limited to a particular version of hardware/software... complains are coming from everywhere across the world since 2008.
    Unfortunately tech support at Apple appears to have no clue as neither hardware change nor software update / upgrade doesn't seem to solve the issue permanently. But they still replace parts and software for some reason, just to drive people crazy later.
    I am confident that this issue has already been told to design team , the problem was known for years after all.
    What is this? Does Apple expects people to trash their computers when this happens? and get a new one? Is this because Apple asks new customers if they want to recycle their old computers with them?
    You probably think I am an Apple hater , I am not. I like their products but I hate their tech support, I am sick and tired of listening to so-called geniuses ,  bunch of untrained high school kids with a lot of BS.
    Only hope I have left is, somehow, there maybe someone out there who already solved this problem... Are you there?
    MacBook Air specs :
    Processor  2.13 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory  2 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB
    Software  OS X 10.8
    Other Apple products I use together with this Mac :
    Magic mouse
    Apple TV latest
    iPad latest
    iPod touch 4th gen.

    I finally found the solution,
    the solution itself actually explains why Apple was so silent about this issue
    because every macbook that was sold over the last 5 years was defective ,
    it will probably cost Apple $100s of millions to recall them
    It is the Audio Board Flex Cable, Part #: 922-8380
    this cable goes bad quickly,
    it is defective because this is strickly a design issue
    I opened the macbook and replaced it myself,
    all looks fine now

  • My MacBook Air shut down suddenly and is making a loud ticking noise.

    I was working on my laptop then suddenly the screen went black (no shutdown screen or noise appeared) and it has now begun to make a loud ticking noise similar to a clock. It won't come back on and none of the keys are illuminated as they were previously. Any suggestions?

    I would strongly suspect a failed hard drive. Take it in to an Apple Centre for a free diagnostic.

  • Why does the sound to my MacBook Air stop working after it wakes up from sleeping?

    When I leave my headphones in the headphone jack and then close the computer to sleep, when it wakes back up the sound will not work.
    It doesn't work with the headphones in or out, it is just completely disabled. I tried muting and unmuting and and toggling the volume but the only thing that works is restarting the computer.
    Obviously, the sound works after restart but it is an inconvenience due to the tone on restart which is not the greatest noise when trying to work with a sleeping baby in the house (Which is why I use headphones in the first place.)
    Any help is much appreciated.

    Plug in the headphone and remove it

  • Cameras stopped working suddenly and without warning...

    So I've been using myPlaybook for months without issue, going from one OS upgrade to the next without problems and all the while using both built-in cameras.  Took photos with it just two days ago.  Turned it on as normal this morning and now neither camera functions.  I get the black screen and when I tap on the icon to take a picture, it tells me the camera is use by another application.  Front or backcamera, doesn't matter.  It's the same.  I've wiped it, reinstalled OS, 2.0 and 2.1, same thing.  This is a known issue and a KB article exists with noknown resolution at this time.  Is there a fix for this?  My Playbook is out of warranty now.  This sounds very much like a software issue.  Do I really need go call RIM and send it in?
    Merrill

    Since you tried security wipe and still the problem is present, I think you should call RIM and have them look at the device. There might be a physical problem w/ the device's camera. (Indeed a known issue)
