[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1775614, member: 175845"] So, was Apple not informed as to the particular MBPro model you have that needed 10.6.6 as a minimum?? [url]https://everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/specs/macbook-pro-core-i7-2.0-15-early-2011-unibody-thunderbolt-specs.html[/url] That's really poor if that was the case, and yes, three beeps at boot time normally indicates something wrong in the RAM department. To double check the OS X version of the disk, you could try holding down the option key while you boot with the Install Disk inserted, and it may provide an icon with the OS X version it actually contains. Personally, I'm surprised it booted as far as you say if it really is a 10.6.3 Install Disk. I guess you'll be calling Apple again and I'd suggest you be VERY clear as to your Mac's specs and the existing problem(s). Or maybe contact a local Mac tech who may have some spare RAM to try etc. etc. but you apparently don't want to do that. Your choice and call I guess… At least the optical drive seems to be working and without doing any blow job on it!!! - Patrick ====== [/QUOTE]
