Title:

MBP Beeps Every 5 Seconds No Boot Up

Text:

MBP suddenly shut off last week and will not boot back up. Every time I plug in the magsafe charger, or push the power button with charger unplugged, I begin to get a beep every 5 seconds from inside the machine. Have tried SMC reset and all combinations of keystrokes and power button. Screen is black, fan doesn’t start. Opened up the bottom cover and everything looked okay without digging into it, just dusty. The beeps seem to indicate a RAM issue according to searches about other models, but I believe this model cannot have the RAM repaired as it is soldered to the board. I need to get some data off of this machine that was not backed up! Oh no! Please help!
