I had to have a guide open on another computer (ifixit guide). Wanted to use my 2010 Macbook Pro but it wouldn't boot XD... keeps doing 3 long beeps while off. Had to use the little Chromebook instead. Seems like Dev & I are endlessly accumulating computer problems... 10 comments
@tendigits yea basically took every little bit out, which is pretty intimidating. The guide is very good tho :>  @rek Salty air isn't kind to flimsy consumer tech. I've got a box of half broken hardware sitting here that I want to fix up (or strip for parts) that has succumbed to live aboard. Luckily we have long, cold winters 😬 Seems like the problem with the Macbook isn't with the ram itself, but the bottom ram slot :/. Good news is both modules still work, but I can now only use one (i can upgrade the working one for larger capacity). @rek i had the same problem on a non-Pro 2010 Macbook (unibody white) [or maybe it was on my 2012 MBP, not sure anymore], one of the two ram slots was faulty too. @ghostlevel seems like a common issue :/... sucks, but glad it can still be usable! Getting a module upgrade is rly an ok option.

@rek well done though. I imagine that's not a trivial fix. And yay for iFixIt - such a great resource.
