[QUOTE="annie90, post: 1386532, member: 244593"] ok so im based in ireland and have been having problem with my macbook pro for a few week there would be a loud beeping noise - 3 beeps and then a break and the 3 beeps would repeat. The spinning beach ball appears regularly and last for extended periods of time. could be up to 2 minutes tat times. apple care mentioned this could be an indicator of a possible RAM problem and told be to bring it into one of their certified repair centres so i brought in into Mactivate in dublin. they did testing and couldnt find the problem so decided that they one replace one piece of RAM and give it back to me and if this didnt help they would replace the other. When they opened up the back they say they found corosion of the motherboard and are saying it is the result of liquid damage. however no liquid has ever been split on or even near the machine. i got the laptop last july and have pretty guarded it with my life since i got it. no1 has ever used it other than me. they said that from what they could see liquid got it from the back where a fan is but like i said nothing has ever been split on or even near it. i rarely even drink near it. so how is it possible that they say there has been liquid damage when there has never been anything split on it? Id appreciate any advice on the matter. Thanks [/QUOTE]
