[QUOTE="baloutang, post: 697161, member: 62074"] I have a powerbook G4 15" 1.5GHZ with 512MB RAM. My issue is when I start to boot up my system, I get 3 low tone sounds. I researched it a bit online and noticed that this could be related to the RAM. So I removed and replaced the existing RAM and I got the startup screen, but it was frozen. I tried doing that again but I was back to the 3 tone sounds. I went ahead and purchased some new RAM (Crucials 1GB SO DIMM PC2700Pb). I inserted the new RAM and the same issue happens (3 tone sounds, spinning like it's booting, but nothing on the display). I've also done a PRAM reset to no avail. Does anyone know what else I can try to get this to work or is possibly my logic board the problem? [/QUOTE]
