Apple's Laptop MacBook Air is more popular and owned than the MacBook Pro, isn't it?
Some people have been using the MacBook Air for many years and can use it without any fault, but it broke down in less than a year!There is a person who says.
I think that there is no anxiety if it is possible to fix it cheaply even if MacBook Air breaks down by any chance or corresponds with a guarantee, but if it becomes a high repair price, it may be necessary to consider a replacement.
As usual, when you press the power button on the MacBook Air, the screen doesn't appear, there's something going on!If you are, be careful.
There are many error sounds, but the most famous sound for bad Mac startup is called beep.
In addition, there is a pattern in this beep, single tone, it has become possible to isolate the failure point to some extent in continuous sound, as also in the title three beeps is quite troublesome trouble.
Three Beeps on a Mac can be expensive for repairs.
What causes the MacBook Air to beep three times?
In general, the reason why the beep is heard three times on a Mac is mainly said to be a memory failure.
This is not limited to the MacBook Air, but it is common to all Macs (beeping), and even if the memory fails even if one of the two or four devices is installed, the beep will sound.
Also, if the Mac does not start after three beeps, it is not a software failure, and the probability of hardware failure is overwhelmingly higher.
There is a mix of various information on the Internet as a way to correct the three beeps, but there is no memory that was almost fixed by the reset system such as NVRAM and PRAM clear which is common among them.
We have repaired more than a few thousand Macs, but if you have trouble with three beeps, I hope you will refer to it.
What should I check if my MacBook Air beeps three times?
First of all, it is important to check whether the memory of your Mac is onboard or removable(replaced).
In terms of Model No. (model number) of mac laptops, A1181, A1278, A1286, A1297 is a memory that can be replaced.
On the contrary, Model No. A1369, A1370, A1466, A1465, A1534, A1502, A1398, A1706, A1707, A1708, A1932, etc. are on-board memory, so memory replacement is not allowed.
If your Mac is a model that can exchange memory, it is possible to isolate the failure by replacing the memory yourself.
It is easy enough to be able to do it in 5 minutes if the memory exchange of A1278, A1286, and A1297.
Apple official site also has a post how to replace the memory, but we are also briefly introduced on this homepage, so you can check from the following link.

What is the approximate repair fee if the MacBook Air beeps three times?
There are various repair items of Mac such as LCD, keyboard, memory, HDD, drive, logic board, etc., but the part that is said to be a high repair price among them is liquid crystal or logic board.
In the case of a model that can replace memory, it will be fixed for several thousand yen, but because memory can not be replaced if the memory is onboard, such as MacBook Air, it is necessary to repair and replace the logic board, There is a possibility that a high repair fee will be charged.
In addition, the amount of money is very different even in the CPU i5 and i7 when it comes to logic board replacement, in the worst case, you may have to consider replacing the Mac.
If you need to replace the logic board with a relatively new model, you can tell if you contact Apple, but it is also likely to be a high charge of 100,000 yen MacBook Air beeps three times it will be a pretty scary symptom.
Fear of beeps three times!Shouldn't I buy a Mac with onboard memory?
Although there are all the advantages such as weight reduction and speed of the Mac by making it to the on-board memory, the Mac laptop equipped with a Retina display has become an onboard specification, At the moment, the new model of Mac which will be released in the future seems to be almost on-board memory.
Therefore, it seems that it is not possible to choose on the Mac user side.
It seems to be quite a standard customization to add memory when purchasing a new Mac, but if you are customizing by paying a high price, it is better to add a guarantee such as Apple Care reliably.
MacBook, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro and Apple laptops have a lineup, but when it comes to relatively new Macs, memory is onboard.
Since on-board is structurally preventable to remove or add memory, it is not possible to replace the memory even if the memory fails by any chance.
In addition, unlike previous Macs, memory has recently been released little by little, with on-board memory and SSDs and on-board specifications.
I do not think that there is a person who buys a Mac in consideration of the failure in the future, but it is certain that the repair difficulty of the Mac has gone up.
The idea of replacing the Mac's fault-logic board is not surprising even if it comes out in the future.
This has become a rather troublesome content, logic board repair as repair because it is not possible to memory replacement, it will be replaced.
In addition, there are MacBook 12 inch and MacBook Pro Touch Bar models in recent models, which are separate from memory.
Because the SSD is embedded in the logic board, HDD replacement (SSD replacement) cannot be done later, and there is a voice of the question from the heavy user of the Mac about this.
There are various speculations, but the purpose is to make it impossible to repair it outside of Apple.
MacBook Air Beep Codes Summary
The beep code does not sound if the MacBook Air is healthy.
Because it is a warning sound (beep) when something goes wrong, be careful when a beep is heard.
Even if the beep is heard and does not start normally, it will almost not affect the HDD, so you will not be able to run out of data!It is not so much to worry even if it is.
However, as I explained above, it may be better to be prepared to some extent because there is a high possibility that three beeps on the Mac of the onboard memory will become a considerably serious problem.
So, so it's very important to back up every day so that the beep can sound at any time!
