While I have heard of similar issues with Macs before with dedicated graphics with a solution being to disable the card through some trickery, I cannot see such a solution with the fact this machine only has integrated graphics.

With this, I replaced the stock RAM with some known good RAM from an identical Mac, same issue.Īfter getting distracted from the project for about a month I came back to looking at the device and found a new issue, while using the device, horrible screen artifacts appear (Image attached, sorry for that horrible focus) and results in a full lockup and the Mac giving itself a force reset, then followed by the same beeping loop. While this did work for a short period of time, the problem started again. After some in-depth analysis of the situation (also known as asking the Google), I found it was likely a RAM issue. System error beeps usually signify that some part in the server is. I am currently in the process of repairing a friend's 13 Inch Mid 2012 MacBook Pro (Model 1278). Before I went to begin my repair, I noted that about 50% of the time, upon attempting to boot the system, the system would stay black and go into a loop of 3 beeps. One beep after successfully completing POST indicates the system is functioning properly. So you dont want to be interrupted by long piercing beeps from your APC-branded UPS every minute when the power goes out.
