[QUOTE="malinaa, post: 559518, member: 44871"] After applying last update with "Software update..." my one-month old MacBook 2.2GHz won't boot instead it sounds 3 short beeps, followed by 3 long beeps, followed by 3 short beeps (Morse code for SOS?). It will not run Apple Hardware Test nor will it boot from Install Disk 1 --- it momentarily spins the media then ejects it. Re-seating the memory modules did not fix it neither did replacing the two Crucial modules with the original Apple memory modules. I've also tried resetting PRAM and SMC but had no luck. Anyone have any ideas I can try while I wait for Apple telephone support to re-open tomorrow? TIA, Al [/QUOTE]
