Why is my MacBook pro making a beeping noise when I turn it on with no screen showing?

My MacBook pro turned on fine until here was a bunch of numbers showing on the screen and told me to shut it down so I did. When I waited 15 seconds I tried turning it on again and now every time I try to turn it on it makes a beeping sound and won't show a screen. It will just keep beeping until I turn it back off. I have only had it for two weeks so idk what the problem is.

The FINDER HELP section titled 'If you hear beeps when your computer starts up'  suggests that you take your MBP to an Apple Store or an authorized service facility.  The following leads you to an Apple Support article germain to your problem:  https://support.apple.com/kb/HT1547.

  • Why does my MacBook Pro make a clicking noise when i lift it up.

    Hi i just recently got a MacBook Pro. I get this weird clicking noise from the right side of the trackpad. I don't know why its doing this noise but i think its got something to do with the superdrive or cd drive. This only happens when i pick it up or rotate it around on my lap.

    Just to clarify... and in case you're not familiar with how hard drives work... There are metal platters in your hard drive that spin at either 5400 or 7200 times per minute (that's either 90 or 120 times per second respectively). There is a little read head that floats less than a papers width above that super fast spinning platter. If you bump your computer while the read/write head is over the platter, there is a chance it can bump into the spinning platter causing permanent damage to it. As a result, hardware manufacturers have developed ways to lock the head when a "sudden motion" is detected in order to reduce the chance of damage. In some cases (like the MacBooks), it is built into the notebook itself... in other cases, the technology is built into the drive. The clicking you hear, as others have indicated, is the sound of the drive head locking... it's a good thing.

  • My imac is making low beeping noises when I turn it on and wont go past a grey screen; whats wrong?

    When I turn on my computer it goes strait to a grey screen with the apple and starts a low beeping. The beeping does not stop so I rebooted it several times and everytime it turns back on, it starts to beep again.
    What could be the problem?

    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    Note: It is possible that the SMC could encounter an issue that may cause  unusual system behavior typically related to the symptoms described  below.  In some cases, resetting the SMC may be the only correct method  to resolve the issue, however, an SMC reset should only be attempted  after all other standard troubleshooting has been performed.
    Before Resetting the SMC
    Try each of the following steps in this order before you reset the SMC.  Test the issue after completing each troubleshooting step to determine if the issue still occurs.
    Press Command + Option + Escape to force quit any application that is not responding.
    Put your Mac to sleep by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Sleep.  Wake the computer after it has gone to sleep.

    That is normal. The familiar spinning gear icon is replaced with a progress bar now.

  • HT1338 why my macbook pro making lot of noise inside. Is it something to do my shutting down. I usually shut down my system in every week.

    why my macbook pro making lot of noise inside. Is it something to do my shutting down. I usually shut down my system in every week.
    Can anybody provide any solution on this.

    What kind of noise and when?  There are fans inside that run at various noise levels keeping things at the right temperature.  There is a hard drive, unless you have SSD, that can make noise when the stepping motor moves the track arm.  There is an optical drive that makes noise at startup.
    There are noises when you move the MBP and the motion sensor engages.

  • My brother-in-law recently passed away. My sister gave his MacBook Pro to my niece. When she opens and starts the laptop, it shows my brother-in-laws name. Is there a way to change his name to her name without formatting the device and starting over?

    BigTex415,
    my condolences for your family’s loss. If all she seeks to do is to change the display name, and she’s willing to leave the account name unchanged, then she could do the following: log in as the administrative user and open the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences. If the padlock in the lower-left corner is locked, unlock it. Select the account that shows your brother-in-law’s name on the left-hand side of the window, and then on the right-hand side, change the text in the “Full name” textbox to her preferred display name. If desired, click on the padlock in the lower-left corner to relock it.

    It may very well be a RAM issue but possibly something else.  Look over this extensive troubleshooting document for a possible solution:

  • My Macbook Pro won't start up. All I get is a grey screen showing a grey folder bearing a question mark. Help please!

    My Macbook Pro won't start up. All I get is a grey screen showing a grey folder bearing a question mark. Help please!

    The folder with the question mark indicates that the machine is unable to find a bootable volume on startup. This is typically caused by one of three things:
    1.) The internal HD has failed or is failing and needs to be replaced
    2.) There is significant directory damage to the volume that requires repairing in order to boot
    3.) Some other internal component failure between the HD and logic board
    I'd ranked them in the order that is most common (from my personal experience). Boot to the OS X Recovery tool and attempt to repair the startup volume. If that fails or the drive is not detected it's usually a tell tale sign of a failed HD.

    Use ethernet for a while to verify this is really a problem with just the airport.

  • Why is my MacBook Pro making a constant whirring sound?

    I've reset the SMC, run all the diagnostics possible, made sure there are no runaway apps, and restarted my computer. Nothing has helped. I've had it for less than six months. This hasn't happened before. It isn't over heated. It started whirring before I even started using any apps. I've been troubleshooting for over an hour and nothing is helping. What's going on?

  • Why is my macbook pro making a type sound but not typing the letters

    I was typing on my macbook pro when all of a sudden the keyboard stopped working. It makes a type sound that it didn't make before, but it won't type any letters. However, when I did a restart, I could type in my password. What's wrong with the keyboard?
