If re-seating doesn't fix it then maybe it's time to do that memory
upgrade you've been dreaming about, assuming it isn't already maxed out.
I've used AppleCare twice to ship a macbook for repairs and the process
was quite good. They fedex a special box, you put it in and they pick it
up again and then ship it back fixed. Of course a local Apple store
would be a tad easier.

Hi Mark -- Can you tell us the year and model of your macbook pro? On most
models the RAM is relatively easy to access and we might be able to do some
standard troubleshooting steps such as reseating the RAM modules. Of course, if
your book is still under warranty and you live near an apple store or
authorized service dealer you might want to get it in their hands instead.

No technical reason; I lost my disks on a recent move and Leopard is what I have for the
moment until I get new ones. Apple Cares cannot, it seems, find me in their base. I
found an article at support.apple.com which claims that three successive beeps, a five
second pause and three successive beeps means, "RAM did not pass data integrity
check." Apparently, I have a faulty RAM chip somewhere. I have NO clue what to do
about this, as I've never had to take this MBP15 apart. I guess it can happen at amy
moment with no warning, depending on when that particular RAM is addressed. I'm confused
as to how to fix it.
